ni 6009

Hi,

I am just trying to build a current logger using an NI-6009. Am using a 0-20A 200mA shunt. I am measuring a current of 4-10A via this shunt.

The issue is when I measure the shunt voltage to the NI-6009 logger it is quite stable but the shunt voltage measured by the logger fluctuates by 1-2mV. I was wondering what would be the best way to filter this voltage signal (similar to what the multimeter is doing!) to get a smother output.

Thanks

may be you can put a capacitor to the output point which you measure.
A small value of capacitor should work I think.

what value of capacitance would you recommend 100nF?
