What is the Accessory Power and Does it Need to be Enabled? Hardware: Counter/Timers (TIO)>>Connectivity>>SCB-68
Problem: I am connecting the SCB-68 to sensors that do not measure temperature. Do I need to enable the accessory power? Solution: The accessory power on the SCB-68 powers the CJC (Cold Junction Compensator), which is used to counteract the potential difference between the end of the temperature sensor and the measuring system to which it is connected. If you are using sensors that do not measure temperature such as accelerometers, strain gauges, and linear-voltage differential transformers (LVDTs), you do not need to enable the accessory power. However, if you are using thermocouples, thermistors, or other temperature sensors, you will need to enable the accessory power. For more information about the CJC and how to enable the accessory power, refer to the related links below.
