USER GUIDESCC-CI20 Current Input Module
The SCC-CI20 converts current to voltage by passing it through a precision
249
Ω
resistor and sending the resulting voltage to the E Series DAQ device
as a 0 to
+
5 V signal. The SCC-CI20 accepts up to two current sources at a
maximum of 20 mA. A differential instrumentation amplifier buffers each
input signal.
