setting up loadcell with PCI-6229m, SCC-68 and SCC-SG24 module

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up different sensors in MAX/Labview DAQmx, using a NI PCI-6229 M-series DAQ-card with a SCC-68 connector block for measuring DC/DC-displacement sensors without SCC-module and measuring loads by using strain gage full bridges connected to SCC-SG24 modules.

DC/DC-displacement sensors:
I made a "voltage"-setup in MAX on an analog input of the PCI-6229 (e.g. ai4) with input signals from 0..5V. Then I defined a linear scaling (5V=100mm).
-> works.

Loadcell:
I was trying a "voltage with exitation"-setup, because of I connect the strain gage signals to a SCC-SG24 module. At maximum load the sensor signal ist about 2,5mV/V. So, with 10V exitation voltage i'm getting a maximum Signal of 25mV. When I multiply the fixed gain of the SG24-module of 100, I get 2,5V as result. So, my signal should range from -2,5V to 2,5V. When I try to type this into the min/max setup form, I always get the error, that the maximum range is +-0,1V???
-> Do I have to type in the signale range without 100x gain?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Tom,

The Input Range is the Physical Input Range of the SG24 and it's -0,1 to 0,1 Volts.
The Software know that SG 24 give an Gain x100 and make is own conversion.
