Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
StrainCalc Parameters
Dest
Variable to store strain in.
Reps
Number of strains to calculate, Destination, source, and zero variables must be dimensioned
accordingly.
BrConfig
Bridge configuration code for strain gages The bridge configuration code can be entered as a
positive or negative number:
+ code:
V
r
=
−
0 001
.
(
)
Source
Zero
; bridge configured so its output decreases with
increasing strain.
- code:
V
r
= −
−
0 001
.
(
)
Source
Zero
; bridge configured so output increases with strain.
This is the configuration for a quarter bridge using CSI’s 4WFB350 Terminal Input Module
(i.e., enter the bridge configuration code as -1 for 1/4 bridge with TIM.)

Source
The source variable array for the measurement(s), the input is expected as millivolts out per
volt in (the result of the full bridge instruction with a multiplier of 1 and an offset of 0.
Zero
The variable array that holds the unstrained reading(s) in millivolts out per volt in.
GF
Gage Factor. The gage factor can be entered as a constant used for all repetitions or a variable
array can be loaded with individual gage factors which are automatically used with each rep.
To use an array enter the parameter as
arrayname
(), with no element number in the
parentheses.
v
Poisson ratio, enter 0 if it does not apply to configuration.
StrainCalc Example
This example uses StrainCalc to find the microstrain value of a bridge output.
