Required hardware

At least a 16 bit card, DAQP-BRIDGE or MDAQ-STRAIN

Required software

SE, PROF or DSA version

Setup sample rate

At least 1 kHz

I have prepared three common types of strain gage configuration. First we have a tuning fork with a single gage attached, then a home made force sensor with full bridge connection and finally also an off-the shelf load cell with a full bridge connection.

 

From the amplifier side, there are three DAQP-BRIDGE-A modules with isolated input. We could also use MDAQ-STRAIN modules with similar performance. The DAQP-BRIDGE-B has a higher bandwidth and more ranges (it goes down to 0.1 mV/V), but has no isolation.
