Frequently asked questions

How do I measure DC current with the sensor?

Connect the sensor’s analog input cable to one of the analog inputs on a Phidget InterfaceKit, then use the DC current formula provided in the manual.

What formula converts the sensor value to DC current?

DC current (A) = (SensorValue / 13.2) − 37.8787.

How can I achieve the highest measurement accuracy?

Use the RawSensorValue attribute and replace the standard formula with (RawSensorValue / 4.095).
