Hi all,
I am planning on ordering the NI-9236 module to measure strain.
The strain gauge I have is a half-bridge configuration but the module is a quarter bridge configuration.
Is it possible to use my half-bridge strain gauge with the NI 9236 quarter bridge module?
Bridge Resistance is okay because it is 350 Ohm
The datasheet of the strain gauge is attached:
Nr.: SGD-10/350-LY43
Thanks

I would suggest you order a NI-9237 which accommodates 1/4, 1/2, and full bridge.

Hi,
We decided not to order the NI-9237 module because it does not include a bridge.

The 9237 does have an external quarter bridge completion accessory.
NI 9945 Quarter Bridge Completion Accessory (350 Ohm) Part Number 194739-01, and internally completes half and full.
Hope this is helpful. 😉

Hi,
thanks for your help!
I did not know we could buy such an accessory.
My question still stands: Can the NI 9236 make quarter bridge measurements from a strain gauge that is configured to be a half bridge measurement.
