How to Use a 2252 ohm thermistor with NI 9217

[Noh]

I have a 2-wire 2252 thermistor that  I need to wire into a NI 9217. I don't see anywhere in the configuration choices for a thermistor. I did try making a a custom configuration with setting Ie = 1 mA, 2-wire, setting R, and A,B, & C. How do ai do this?

Welcome to the discussion forums, Noh!

If you choose to use the 9217, you’ll need to modify the scaling of the measurements, as this is an RTD module. If you have LabVIEW you will need to create an RTD channel, choose a custom RTD type (bottom terminal on Create Channel VI) and then use a channel property node (AI » Temperature » RTD » Custom » A, B, and C) for the scaling.

If you chose to use a 9211, you will see that the thermistor task type is integrated into the DAQ assistant (such as used when setting up a task in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)).

Please post back if you have further questions. Good luck!
