USB-6218 and load cell Wiring

[herry22]

Hi,

I am a beginner, and everything regarding DAQ is Greek to me.

I am trying to use the following load cell (please see the wiring of the load cell below).

Through reading some tutorials and manuals, I think the USB-6218 and the load cell wiring seems to be as follow:

load cell wire             USB-6218

+Excitation  ---------->     +5V

-Excitation   ---------->     D GND

+Signal        ---------->    AI1  (or maybe any AI)

-Signal         ---------->    AI9  (or maybe any AI)

Shield          ---------->    AI GND

I'd like to confirm it from experienced persons.

Please correct me if something is wrong.

Thanks in advance.
