Verifying the Strain Gauge Connections

Complete the following steps to verify the connection between a strain gauge and a channel.

  1. From the Channel Specification pane in FlexLogger, choose the channel you want to verify.
  2. Perform a null offset operation on that channel.
  3. Open the Channel Configuration pane for the channel and ensure that the live data reading shows approximately zero.
  4. Go to your hardware setup and disconnect the strain gauge from the channel you just nulled.
  5. From the Channel Configuration pane in FlexLogger, ensure that the live data reading shows the maximum signal range for the channel.
