Tips and Techniques for Accurate Strain Measurements

Overview

New NI hardware has made it possible to measure strain gauges directly with PXI, with the power and flexibility to accurately record static strain measurements, as well as high speed, dynamic strain. View this 38-minute Webcast video and learn how to use the NI PXI-4220 strain input module, along with NI LabVIEW, to develop your system quickly and easily. We cover selection criteria when specifying a strain gauge, including tradeoffs and benefits of 1/4, 1/2 and full bridge strain gauges. In addition, we discuss the requirements for strain measurement hardware, including bridge completion, excitation, amplification, filtering, and calibration. Learn how you can ensure strain gauge measurement accuracy and success with the power of Measurement Ready data acquisition.
