HOW TO ENTER CALIBRATION CHART FOR LOAD CELL

[tendoraj22]

We have a HONEYWELL LOAD CELL,MODEL NO 31,100 LBS,we have the calibration chart,how we can give those data in labview.

Since you know the make and model of the equipment, you should be able to find the manual.  Find out at least how to do it manually - better if you can find out how to do it programmatically.  Once you do this, we can assist you in the translation to LabVIEW code - if you still need help by then.

So you set up the DAQAssistent to read a signal from a bridge-type sensor and already configured scaling to output "pounds" instead of just "voltage": I guess you already used the calibration sheet to determine the scaling parameters?

Which other parameters of that sheet are important to you?

Btw. which scientist is using "pounds" for scientific data? (Asking from a European metric system point of view. :D)

Who says he is a scientist?

Pounds a a perfectly good engineering unit.

There are two kinds of countries in the world.  Those who use the metric system, and those who put a man on the moon!  😉

When I hear/read of "pounds" my first thought is "Which one?"…

Wikipedia names two different pounds usually used today. Both of them are different to the current German "pound", used nowadays (and since ~170 years). The German Wikipedia lists about 3 dozen (a nice non-SI unit 😏) different historical "pounds", just for the area of medieval Germany. And I only use troy pound (or mostly troy ounce) because the price for precious metals is given in this unit…

And because some (US) people used "pounds" a space probe crashed on Mars… 😁

Actually, the entire story wasn't as simple as that explanation.
