bridge offset error...

[tan cc]

When I want to calibrate the strain using DAQ assistant I keep on getting an error that says:

"Measured bridge offset is outside the limits allowed for offset nulling callibration for this device. Ensure your sensor is wired and functioning properly, and that its output offset is within the device limits"

I have changed the strain gage twice so I don't think there is anything wrong with the gage. For your information, I am using a 2-wire triangular strain gage connected to three channels of the SCXI-1317 module. Hope anyone here can help solve this problem.

Thanks.

Hi,

What other SCXI hardware do you have in your system? Specifically, what is connected to the SCXI 1317? I suspect that the problem could be with the offset values you are using. Here are the links to a couple of knowledgebases with more information:

Out of Range Readings When Using the SCXI-1520 with Quarter Bridge Strain Gages.

What Is the Maximum Range of Offset I Can Null with the SCXI-1520?

Hi!

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I visited the link you gave me and it helped me a lot. Now that the problem with the bridge offset is solved, I can now focus on software development
