I'm doing a project which involves using a Magnova Inc. Miniature Torque Transducer to measure the torque transmitted by a drill. i have at my disposal a LabJack U3-HV, an LJTickInAmp, proper cords for connection, and the LogUD program installed. However, I cannot figure out which scaling equation I Should type into LogUD, or how to get the apparatus to read anything for that matter. PLEASE HELP

I found a Technical Bulletin

I found a Technical Bulletin for "Miniature Torque Transducers":

It looks like it probably is a raw bridge circuit, but one difference is that although you provide a 7-18 VDC power supply it has an internal regulator that turns this into a 5V excitation voltage internally.
