How do I read a Load Cell using SCXI 1121 Card?

I have a 5000 lb load cell and I am using a SCXI 1121 to read it. I have attached a calibration sheet for the load cell. I need to know what to set the gain to and how to convert the MV/V reading to Lbs. I want my channel in Max to do this conversion.

I'm not familiar with your card, but you should be able to leave the gain setting at 1. Read the mV/V output from the cell and multiply it by 2304.0 (5000/2.1701) to get pounds. You can use this value in max under linear scale with a zero offset.
