johndeverill Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hi,If you have a transducer with differential outputs can this be connected directly to a panel meter with a differential inputs to measure the output voltage of the transducer?Thanks in advanceJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alun Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yes, also differential inputs are a great way to eliminate noise pick-up from long wires. The trick is to use a twisted pair with a transducer with differential outputs to a meter or amplifier with differential inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndeverill Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi Alun,Thanks for the confirmation. I suspected it would be nice and easy...for a change! I also want to convert the signal to a uni-polar signal aswell. Am I on the right track by thinking that you would connect the bi-polar to an op-amp?Many ThanksJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alun Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yes, set the op-amp up as a differance amplifier with the required gain and out pops you're signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
