strain gage calibration

[mrozic]

Hello.

I am using de SCXI-1521b to measure strain gauge of 120 ohm. Because the strain gauges are inside a column, i have a important resistance due the wire. I have reading 125-127 ohm in the conection whit yhe SCXI module. Because of this, i can't read any value. I had tried changing the imput range and the other parameters but nothing happen.

Why can i do for this?

PD: sorry my English, i speak spanish but in this language are more people and information.

Thank!

Hi mrozic,

When you are at the task configuration(where you configure the range), there is a Lead Resistance field. In this field you can input the resistance of the wires and the software will compensate this resistance.

If you have doubts, let me know.
