4-20ma cable again...

Thanks all for the suggestions. I have had a chat with another knowledgeable chap who suggested placing a 0.1uf or even 1uf across the sensor and ground to minimum noise. Which made sense. Also a suggestion of averaging the output of the sensor over 20ms was made also.

I guess in the end, its a case of trying some of these and seeing if they work in situ. I do like the idea of thinking outside the box though...

Thanks all!
