I'm using PXIe-4330 terminal blocks for collecting load cell data (using Wheatstone-bridge-based sensors). I'm wondering if these types of terminal blocks also collect analog inputs that are not strain-gage based bridges? I need very small variations in voltage read from a peizoresistive sensor. If this is possible, can someone point me in the direction of how I would go about setting this up from a DAQ perspective?
Sorry if this is a preliminary question. I'm new to the whole DAQ process. Thanks!

hi badools6116,
It is definitely not recommended to use the PXIe-4330 to collect analog inputs that are not bridge based. The hardware is setup for the bridge based measurements and using it as analog input would not get you the correct results.
What type of measurements are you looking to get from the piezoresistive sensors? Resistance, current, voltage? What are you measuring?
