Measurement of Current:
Figure 6.3 Measurement of current with external shunt
For measurement of current with the
Datalogger IDL 101
the source of electricity is connected between an analog input
(AIn +) and analog ground (A
GND
). The load on the source of electricity that is required for the measuring is regulated
by an external resistor R
ext
to the amount of 50Ω. This results in a measuring range of up to 25 mA maximum.
Notice
: The precision of the current measurement with external shunt depends on the precision of the resistor that is
used.
