feeding uCurrent output to an ADC

[riforifo]

Hello,

I use a Ref200 to generate a 100uA current source and read 99.5 mV with a multimeter.
For a quick test, I also connected the uCurrent output voltage directly with an arduino ADC.

I get varying results between 60mV and 110 mV.
I'll add an moving average algorithm but aside from software,

What are your recommendations for connecting uCurrent output to an ADC
I can try adding an amplifier in  voltage follower mode. Your recommandations are highly appreciated.

thanks

Number one recommandation: match sensor output voltage range to ADC input voltage range. Only then you will have highest resolution of sensor data measurements.

Look for sources of noise.  The DMM will have an anti-image filter, while a naked ADC pin doesn't.
