Joseph Bloggs 2004-10-14 Strain gage 8-channels This example illustrates a parameter type, parameter definition and instrumentation associated with a 8 channel strain gage module. The vendor names associated with the channels are ChannelIndex0 to ChannelIndex7 The channels have a large selection of gain ranges but expect the relationship between volts and micro-strain (for the given excitation, gage-factor and topology) to be defined in an algorithm. The user wants a range of ±2000me, balanced so that the card should read between ±20 me after balancing. The module is called MyStraingage and is assumed to be in slot 3 of chassis called MyDAU and is connected to sensors called MyGage1 to 8. 2008-6-25 Meter 10e-6 2000 My_MicroStrain CurrentShunt 0 0 MyStraingage ChannelIndex0 LVDTsRus Module-5000 M1235 MyGageSensitivity#1 10 0.25 MyGageSensitivity#2 10 0.5
