NI 9217 impact on other channels when a RTD is disconnected

Dear community,

 

I use a NI 9217 pluged on a compact DAQ chassis.

3 RTDs are wired to this NI 9217. Those are 3-wires RTDs. I verified that the wiring is correct, as well as the MAX configuration as 3 wires RTDs.

The RTDs are connected to the NI 9217 via extension cables and connectors.

I encounter the following issue:

when I disconnect the first RTD from its extension cable, it influences the readings values of the other RTDs (about + 20°C)

If I disconnect the 2nd or 3rd RTD, this phenomena doesn't happen (no influence on the other RTDs).

The first RTD is plugged on pins 5,6,7, the 2nd one on 9,10,11, the 3 rd one on 13,14,15.

I tried changing the NI 9217 by a new one, and the problem remains...

 

Any idea what is wrong ?

Thanks

This is known as ghosting. Try the steps in How Do I Eliminate Ghosting from My Measurements?
