hello all.
just got the new LabJack u6-pro and trying to connect it to 8 diffrent load cells.
so the load cell is a single point and has 6 wires :
+sense +exc
-sig +sig
-sense -exc
until now the loadcells were connected to a data logger and i want to try it with the labjack (due to resolution).
i am very new with the labjack and tried to read the manual but could not figure it out..
any details missing ?
can someone help me ?
thanks!
I suggest you start by ignoring the +/-sense wires and just use the +/-signal and +/-excitation wires to get going. See the following forum topic about bridge circuits (a raw load cell is a bridge circuit) and in particular see post #13:
