ONFIGURATION
Furthermore, it is critical to understand how the EX1629 defines its measurement in this
configuration. Specifically, it defines the measured strain to be the strain that is present in each
gage, not the total of the four gages. For example, if the positive gages are subjected to tensile
strain of 1000 µε and the negative gages are subjected to compressive strain of 1000 µε, the
EX1629 will measure a value of +1000 µε, not +4000 µε.

ONFIGURATIONS
The EX1629 main input channels can also be used for general voltage measurement. For this
application, the channel is effectively configured for Full-Bridge measurements (i.e., no
completion resistor or “back-half” of the bridge is enabled). The signal to be measured should be
connected to the +Sense and –Sense lines. The excitation source may be used in this mode, if the
measurement requires it, but the excitation source limits should be kept in mind.
For fully differential inputs, the configuration in Figure 2-6 should be used. For situations that
require a single-ended connection (i.e. one side grounded), the configuration in Figure 2-7 should
be used. When using these configurations, Negative Excitation Sense should be set to 0 V.
