How do I connect 16 strain gauges in quarter bridge arrangement to a SCXI 1322 connecter block?

Specifically, do I connect 4 bridge completion resistors to each VEX- channel or do I need to wire them together somehow first?

I have attached a bitmap image that explains how to wire a quarter-bridge strain gauge to the SCXI-1122 (with 1322 terminal block.) The 1122 only provides half-bridge completion, so you have to wire an extra resistor into the circuit to complete the bridge.

You can find this image in the SCXI-1122 User Manual, which is available for download at:
