Hello. 

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

In order to help you more effectively, I would like to ask you a few questions.  First, what DAQ card are you using?  I understand that it is a 16 bit card, but our boards also have a 4 digit number associated with them.  For example, one of our most popular cards is a PCI-6251.  Can you please provide that information for your card?  Regardless of the card, you should be able to use a load cell to convert the load to a voltage.  For more information on how to use a load cell, please visit the following websites:
