The load cell setup is the easiest of all. The load cell used here was Full bridge, so we set the correct Input type and Excitation voltages
. Then a Bridge zero
was performed with no attached load.
The next step is to enter the sensor's Scale factor. The load cell is calibrated in kilograms and we can see from the spec sheet that it outputs 1 mV/V per 10 kg. We enter this value in the scale factor
and this concludes the setup.
There is not really much to see from this load cell in the measurement. An in-house competition "who weighs the most " could be held, but it wouldn’t make much sense - surely management would win.
