Is it possible to determine programatically whether a strain gauge is actually connected to an xFP-SG-140 module? Suggestions for how to do it? Thanks.
FieldPoint does not have a programmatic way to detect open strain gauges built in to the hardware or driver. You may want to consider implementing some control in your software that monitors the values read on your analog input channels. If you begin to receive readings that seem impossible if a strain gauge was attached to the module, then you could assume an open connection.
Thanks. That is what I was hoping to avoid. Looks like if I set the noise filter to 240Hz I get enough noise to distinguish between sensor present or not. Not a great way to do it but should be ok. Appreciate the input.
