2 Power requirements assume all eight inputs are used or shorted to their respective excitation return (-EXn) screw terminals.
Open-circuited inputs will increase power requirements.

When using internal excitation, the power requirement will depend on number and type of strain gauges. The maximum power
requirement listed (770 mA) assumes eight 120
Ω
full-bridge inputs. The minimum power requirement listed (600 mA)
assumes one 350
Ω
half-bridge input.
