R0

Specify resistance value

Description

Use this property to specify the resistance of the device.

You can specify any acceptable value in ohms. When you add an RTD Channel, the resistance is unknown and the R0 property displays Unknown. You must change this value to set the resistance of this device to the temperature you want.

Example

Set RTD Channels Resistance

Create a session and add an RTD channel.

s = daq.createSession('ni');
ch = addAnalogInputChannel(s,'cDAQ1Mod7',3, 'RTD');

Change the channels resistance to 100°C.

ch.R0 = 100

ch =
