cs106 reading low


sinusoid Mar 26, 2013 04:23 PM

I have a cs106 running on a 15 min interval using the following...

VoltSe(Pressure,1,mV2500,1,False,0,250,.240,500)

I have closed the port the green wire is connected to at the beginning of the program...

PortSet(1,1)

and I am getting values in the low 500s. I should be getting values of about 1000 (mbar). I can find no where that I divided the data by 2.

Sample(1,Pressure,IEEE4)

Is there any way to check whether the sensor is still good? Or can anyone think of anything else?

Most likely the sensor is either not powered on properly, there is a wiring fault or the sensor is faulty. I say this as a reading of 500 is what you will get out of the measurement if the sensor is not connected or turned on (due to the 500 offset in the measurement instruction).

it isn't exactly 500, but pretty close. Over the past 6 hours it has varied from 500.3255(21 of 24 values) to 500.651. But that does help me confirm that it doesn't seem to be a code issue.

Thanks aps.
