K8061 analog input voltage resolution

Hi,
I’ve just soldered my K8061 USB board together and everything seems to work fine except for that I need to read mV values on one of the Analog Inputs. I’ve managed to double the resolution, but I need to multiply it by 10 or something at least.
0,027V gives 4 (or 8 if I short circuit R65) when I call the “ReadAnalogChanne”l function. This gives me a resolution of 0,003 where I have to get down to at least 0,001.

Has anyone got any bright ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards, Tomas

Think I solved it my self by changing R65 to 1K resistor instead of the 10K one originally placed there… guess this change should be consistent over the spectrum? (0,020V - 0,050V aprox)

I think you have changed R66 to 1K to get higher gain?
This modification will increase the DC offset due to the high gain.
Otherwise it is OK.

Right… R66 it is:) I’m actually down at a 560 ohm resistor atm. and this gives me a “resolution” of about 0.00055 V per step which is perfect for my application. I’ll make some test measurements to make sure everything works as intended. :slight_smile:
