Hi,

I have a PCI-4351 connected with TBX-68T and some thermocouples, but i want to mesure a loadcell (straingage) signal with this devices.
Is it possible?

Thanks.

Hi Rafael,

You can measure strain gauges using PCI - 4351 but your TBX-68T terminal block for thermocouples dont´support that. Look at PCI-435x User Manual (Chapter 2) and you could see that.

Hi, Filipe

And what devices I have to connect to PCI - 4351 to mesure the strain gauge?
Sorry but I don`t understand eletronics very well...


Thanks
Rafael.

Hi Rafael, You can´t use PCI-4351 to measure strain gauge you should use other devices. Call sales and they will tell you what devices you could use. Regards, Filipe Silva Appllication Engineering NI Brazil
