I wonder if someone can help me out, I have a 503 slc with a FIO4v input/output card .I need to read a weight out of a load cell 0-25lbs, my question is ..the input card has an input of 0-10v, the conditoner has an output of 0-5v can I still interface these two devices or do I have to match the input card 0-10v input with the conditioner output of 0-10v thanks....

Check the manual and you will find that the FIO4V can run in 0 to 5 V mode according to page 5 of the manual. You will get numbers between 0 and 2047. Meaning your 0 - 25 pounds will yield teh numbers 0 to 2047 or 0.01221 lbs per unit.
