0.25

Required cutoff point for the filter is the chosen value 
multiplied by the user sampling frequency. 0.25 is 
recommended as any higher may lead to aliasing. 1 
is the sampling rate.

Excitation Amplitude

0 to 5.1 

0.2

Required excitation (in V) for the top of the bridge. 
Excitation is bipolar so entering 5V means 10V 
across the bridge.
