Quarter bridge arrangement
This section describes how to configure the selected channel for quarter bridge strain gage measurements from the
front panel.
1. Connect bridge configuration source to module's screw terminals
2. Press [Channel] > Measure, and select STRAIN from the selection menu.
3. Press Range and use the knob or the front panel arrow keys to specify the measurement range. Auto
(autorange) automatically selects the range for the measurement based on the input. Autoranging is
convenient, but it results in slower measurements than using a manual range. Autoranging goes up a range at
120% of the present range, and down a range below 10% of the present range.
4. Press Sense Settings > Sense, specify the strain measurement method as quarter bridge arrangement.
