Hello,
I have been having issues configuring a load cell properly in Ni MAX. I wired the load cell up correctly and recieve a value but the value is not scaled correctly.
From the calibration sheet I am giving the following
The load cell is a Sensotec model 41 which I beleive is the same as a Honeywell model 41
Input Resistance: 452 ohms
Output Resistance: 352 ohms
Capacity: 5000 lbs compression
Excitation: 10.0 Volts
Calibration Factor: 3.0221 MV/V
Shunt Resistor: 59 K ohms
Shunt Cal Factor. 1.4882
With these values how do I configure the bridge scale in MAX?
Thank you for your time.

This should get you started on scaling your data correctly.
