how to acquire load cell output using cRIO 9215

[esaravanan85]

Hi,

    I'm using cRIO 9215 analog input module to acquire voltage variations from a load cell. The load cell is working properly and its output varies from 2mV to 40mV.  i attached my DAQ assistant configuration settings with this. I've 9215 & 9211 modules only. I cant go for other options. Pls advice me whether i can get my output from 9215 or not. if yes then tell me the steps.

thanks...

Hey,

It looks to me like you are getting output that you need.  What is it exactly that you need?  There should be examples of acquisition in the software delivered with your version of LV (and by the way, I believe these are cDAQ and not cRIO - totally different platforms).  The 9211 will give you high resolution (24 bits over 160 mV) but the maximum input rate is 14 S/s; the 9215 will give you faster update rates with considerably worse resolution (16 bits over 20 V).  You will just have to figure out whatwould be best for your needs.

Peace, Matt
