How to Communicating Lad Cell SLB 25 with LabVIEW?

[Tanmaya Thopate]

Hi everybody,

                      Here I'm facing one problem while interfacing a load cell SLB 25 with Computer. I used Data Logger for that but not usefull. I'm also sending its specification file with it. Plz, guide me how to communicate this device with LabVIEW, or is there any device available, which can play intermediate role for computer to understand its output.

                      Will ADC will work? If yes, How can I do it?

                      Waiting for positive reply....

Hello Tanmaya,

This is a great document I like to point people to when using strain gauges:

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/C83E9B93DE714DB08625686600704DB1

You could either use one of the signal conditioning modules listed in that document, or just use one of our DAQ cards – I think this is what you were referring to with the ADC question. To use a DAQ card, you would need to supply excitation to your strain gauge from a different source, and then measure the voltage from the output of the strain gauge.

With one of the signal conditioners, the excitation would be built in and you could connect everything into the module.

Hope this helps,

Andrew

Thanks Dear,

                       May it'll be helpful. I will inform you, when I'll get success in my project.

Really thanks.
