9207 current measurement inaccuracy / offset

Hello

 

I am using cRIO-9074 with NI9207 for current measurement from pressure transducer 4~20 mA signal. I have observed that the readings mentioned by equipment are slightly offset when compared to a standard digital multi meter for measuring current.

 

 

 

The pressure transducer was supposed to read 0bar and signal = 4mA, When measured with digital multimeter the reading is 4mA and when i use 9207 module to read the same channel i get 0.0037 which is equal to 3.7mA.

 

Is this the problem with calliberation of i am doing something wrong. All equipment was purchased brand new some months back.

 

Connection diagram is attached below.

 

Please help

 

Best Regards  

Muhammad Usman

Have you measured in High speed mode or high resolution mode?

I have checked in both both resolution and high speed mode. Currently it is in high resolution mode. I am also considering to check the caliberation of the external digital mulimeter.
