Not able to measure strain using pci 6033 E card

[Rangam]

I have a pci 6033 E DAq card which i am using to measure the displacement from a linear displacement sensor. i downoaded the program for continious strain measurement from the sample programs. The LVDT is vishay micromeasurements HS-100(S/no MG2459) supports full bridge. I coonected the wires green to CH0 -ve white to ch0 +ve andred to excitation +ve black to excitation negative. Inspite of checking rechecking and breaking my head over this for over 4 weeks and about 300 hrs, i am not able to get the current signal to be displayed on my VI. I think i am missing something, can any one gime some suggestions regarding how to get the current strain to be displayed

Let's start with some basic stuff first, and then we'll get to the nitty gritty.

First, have you measured your excitation voltage to be sure it's active? What are you using for excitation? Keep in mind, the 6033 has no analog outputs.

Second, be sure that your analog inputs are configured for differential so that the negative side of the input is not connected to any ground.

If your bridge is truly a full-bridge (you don't need any resistors to complete the bridge), this *should* be enough.

Let me know, and we'll work it out.
