Strain Gauge Rosette

[klynch44]

Hi all,

I am very new to LabVIEW and trying to configure a DAQ to read the stress-strain response of a specimen.

I am using a strain gauge rosette for this, rotated at 45 degrees and was wondering how to apply this to the program?

Does a strain gauge rosette require further calculations than the data achieved from measurement to determine the accurate strain?

Best,

Hi,

For how to acquire data with a DAQ you can start looking at the exemples in Help->Find Exemples

What are you acquiring exactly ? It is one voltage for each gauge ? You need to look at the datasheet/manual of the strain gauge, it will be written how to convert the voltages (if any) into Newtons or other.
