    Question about using Cat5 cable to wire PID-tech sensor and DAQ

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone. If I use an intrumentation amp to get the signal between 0 and 10 volts what is my range going to be like? I think my resolution requirements are not going to tolerate that amount of noise. (Signal is between 0 and 1.2 V with maxium being 4.1 V) Also I...

    Question about using Cat5 cable to wire PID-tech sensor and DAQ

    Thanks for your suggestions. Strangely, PID-tech manual does not say wat the sensor output is, unless I am missing something? It does mention that the package type is "City Technology 4p" I am not sure what this is, nor have I been able to find any explanation on the internet. There is a...

    Question about using Cat5 cable to wire PID-tech sensor and DAQ

    Hello, This is my first posting to this forum so I appologize if I am not observing any conventions. I want to acquire data from a PID-tech (photoionization) sensor from Mocon. My plan is to use cat5 cable to connect the sensor to a DAQ. I am concerned about line noise interfering with the...
