How to make weighing Scale using 6212 or any other NI Hardware

[s_t]

 I am making a weighing Indicator to measure TRUCK Weight.

USing Load Cell(Strain gauge) in four in number to make a platform ,

 where Truck Stand then we take tare or Gross.

I am using I6 i/o multi Function DAQ Device is 6212.

Give Me General idea to acquire the voltage and Calibrated the system to Display Weight in Digital Format.

Please Help Me.

Hi there, There are a number of different ways to scale your data. Have a look here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-11147 There's another article on configuring a load cell here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D22B70F72C3FB23286256F15005C2575 Here's another article with some example code on how to acquire load data with a null offset and a shunt calibration. http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2018 Good luck with your project.

Whenever billing is involved with weighing most countries have specific regulations for scales.

Specific calibrations routines are described  there or pointers are given to the according standards..

A known the calibration parameter value, please tell how to acquire signal for load cell , which hardware is required for this application I am using 6212 but not getting the load cell mv/v value .

When the platform is zero load cell output is .03mv/v

But I connected load cell in the 6212 I am not getting this value

 please tell me configuration .

Thank you
