==Technical Details==

===Interfacing a CE Transducer===

To interface with a CE transducer sold at Phidgets Inc., simply connect the wires as shown in the following image.

===Interfacing a 12V NPN Sensor===

[[File:1144_0_NPN.jpg|thumb|400px|link=|Left: Connection using an analog input and a pull-up resistor.<br>Right: Connection using an analog input and a digital input.]]

In order to interface with a 12V sensor with an NPN output, you need a 12V sensor adapter and an Interface Kit. There are two ways to connect them, as shown in the figures.
The first way simply involves connecting the 12V sensor adapter to an analog input on the Interface Kit, and then attaching the 12V sensor to the adapter with a 10kΩ pull-up resistor placed across the +12V and analog signal lines, as pictured. There should be two 10kΩ resistors packaged with your 12V sensor adapter.

When using this setup, the analog input will show a sensorvalue of about 1000 when the NPN sensor is open, and a much lower value (less than 200) when the sensor is closed. Likewise, if you're using an active-low digital input, the input will be low when the NPN sensor is open, and high when it is closed.

===Interfacing a 12V PNP Sensor===
[[File:1144_0_PNP.jpg|thumb|400px|link=|Connection using an analog input and a pull-down resistor.]]

In order to interface with a 12V sensor with an PNP output, you need a 12V sensor adapter and an Interface Kit.
Simply connect the 12V sensor adapter to an analog input on the Interface Kit, and then attach the 12V sensor to the adapter with a 10kΩ pull-down resistor placed across the ground and analog signal lines, as pictured. There should be two 10kΩ resistors packaged with your 12V sensor adapter.

===Formulas===
The formula to translate SensorValue into return voltage of an attached 12V sensor (with 0-5V output) is:

:<math>
\text{Sensor Voltage (V DC)} = \frac{\text{Sensorvalue}}{200}
</math>
