Supported sensors
Quarter/Half/Full bridge; strain gauge based sensors: load cells, force transducers, torque
transducers and pressure transducers
Quarter bridge connection
4 wire support; the 3
rd
wire keeps the measurement wire current free eliminating wire
resistance errors through the measurement wire, the 4
