Strain gauge logging with DA99
Moderators:R!C0, JonMan, RickS
The DA99 has 8 differential inputs.
The units are supplied with fixed gain of 1 (range 0-5 volt) but gains up to 100 (0-50mV or +/-50mV) are possible with a resistor change.
However this is not normally enough for direct connection to a strain gauge. We normally advise using a dedicated strain guage amp with a 0-5 volt output feeding into the unity gain differential amp.
