How Do I Verify the Voltage Level Given to My Analog Output Channel on the 5B Backplane? Hardware: Signal Conditioning Other>>5B Series, Signal Conditioning Other>>5B Series
Problem: I am having trouble reading the correct voltage with my 5B analog output module. How can I verify the voltage being delivered to the backplane without having the analog output module attached? Solution: When using 5B products, first verify that you are using the proper data acquisition (DAQ) board configurations, adapter boards and cables, and 5B backplane jumper configurations. The 5B Troubleshooting Wizard is a great resource for this. After verifying your system configurations and testing the analog output module using the Measurement & Automation Explorer's Test Panels, if you are still given incorrect results, you may suspect you have a damaged analog output module. You can test the voltage level being delivered to the 5B analog output module by measuring across the backplane channel's pin connections. To verify the voltage level for analog output being given to a particular 5B backplane channel by your DAQ board, use a voltmeter to measure across pin position 16 (Power Com) and position 18 (V in). This way you can determine if the problem is with your analog output module or with the signal from the backplane. Attached is a pinout diagram for the 5B backplane channels and descriptions for each connection. Related Links: Attachments:
