Hi,
I came across this forum when searching for a solution for collecting the signal from our new Rosemount pressure transducers with an I/O card from National Instruments that only read voltage signals. The 1st thing I did was to use a 250 ohm resistor to convert the 4-20mA into 1-5VDC, but I guess the resistors I used were not accurate or stable enough. the output voltage signal was fluctuating all the time, and the error was way too much so I have to look for another solution. I saw people suggesting about some off-the-shelf converters here in some threads, but didn't know which one is more (or the most) accurate and could give me a stable voltage output (since the accuracy of the pressure transducers is pretty high, around 0.025%). so I'd be grateful if anybody can give me any suggestions in specific brands and models.
Thank you for viewing!
