How to connect three-wire strain gauge to NI 9219

[kara444]

I am wondering how to connect a three-wire strain gauge to the NI 9219 in a quarter bridge. I am capable of completing a connection with a two-wire strain gauge, but am confused as to how the three wire model should be connected. 

Thank you in advance.

The datasheet shows.

The 3 wire RTD circuit is equivalent to a 3-wire 1/4 bridge strain gage.

How would this translate to LabVIEW since the connection diagram generated by the software only displays a two-wire connection when a quarter-bridge option for strain is selected?  After connecting the three-wire gauge to the DAQ in the configuration of the three-wire RTD circuit, are there additional settings to adjust on LabVIEW with the three-wire connection?

For the sake of argument, a 3-wire RTD is no different than a 3-wire strain gage.  They are both resistors whose resistance varies based applied external conditions.

I don't know what software diagram you are referencing.

As for additional settings, there might be some.  I can't say because I don't have a DAQ device or sensors with me to test.  But you can try your self and see how it works.  You're not going to break anythingl
