Not when the other end is open, as I specified. The reason for the high voltage (probably around 20V in practice) is to increase the signal to noise ratio. There will be some fixed noise in the circuit, and the opamp will have an offset error. Calling everything nonsense without any arguments to back it up is a waste of time. What specifically do you believe to be incorrect? ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
