I have a String Potentiometer Transducer. Normally our Data Aquisition systems supply the voltage to these transducers with +v and -V lines and we receive a signal on our +sig and -Sig lines... But we recently have a new Data Aquisition which uses Constant Current Technology also known as ICP. Im not really sure how Constant Current works but i know that instead of 4 wires it uses only two wires which excites the transducer and returns the signal.
So what i want to do is convert my Resistive 4 wire transducer into a ICP (Constant Current) 2 wire transducer.
Does anyone know how i can so this?
An can anyone explain Constant Current to me?
