LJ Tick Debug

Hello,

I am using LJ Tick current amp connected to a U3 to read voltage values using the example VI's in LabVIEW. But this is not working. The input current is from a pressure sensor that converts pressure to current, which is connected to the LJTick.

So to debug I connected a multimeter in series at the input end of the LJtick , and I am able to read different currents for different pressures. However when I try to read the voltage values using a multimeter on the output pins of the LJTick. it doesn't seem to vary the voltage for different currents/pressure. It is always showing a constant voltage.

The LJTick shunt resisitor is not damaged as I tried using a different LJTickt shunt resistor , but faced the same issue.

What am I missing here?

How can I read different voltages for different pressures, such that when I connect it to U3 I can directly read this using LabVIEW.

Thanks

Which Figure are you using

Which Figure are you using from the LJTCS datasheet?

See the troubleshooting bullets on that datasheet to get started with finding your problem:
