cRIO 9074 to read a load cell

[Pritesh]

Hi,

I have a load cell from Transducer Technologies: LBO -500. The specs for the load cell are as follows:

Rated Output (R.O.):

2 mV/V nominal

Rated Output (R.O.):

2 mV/V nominal

Rated Output (R.O.): 2mV/V nominal

Terminal Resistance: 350 ohms nominal

Excitation Voltage: 10 VDC

Safe Overload: 150% of R.O.

I have a cRIO 9074. I also have 2 analog input modules NI 9219 & NI 9237.

My question is which is the appropriate module that I need to use for this application. Also, what code do I need to use in order to get the reading from the load cell.

I am new to DAQ/Labview.... please bare with me.

I also have one more stupid question. I need to get data from about 14 to 15 strain gauges. I will be have around 4 strain gauge rosette setups. I am assuming I will have be using 1 strain gauge per channel.  What is the suggested AI module for this application.

Thank you

Pritesh

Pritesh,

Hello! Thanks for using the NI forums! I would ask that in the future that you refrain from posting the exact same question in more than one thread. I will be responding to your question in your other thread shortly.
