 To begin, I am using a device that has differential inputs, which means that each input has two connections – one (+) and one (-). In order to convert current to a voltage a resistor is installed into the loop completing the current loop of the sensor – refer to the configuration below for signal hookup.\\  To begin, I am using a device that has differential inputs, which means that each input has two connections – one (+) and one (-).
