trying to set up a brake pedal load sensor PCB# 1203-01A, with the PCB# 8162 bridge amp.
The load cell works fine on the bench with a 12vdc supply, and reading the output with a mulitmeter.
ie squeeze the load cell, the volts goes up on the multimeter... easy.
I plug it into an analoge CH of a DL1, and i get nothing.
Thoughts?
Bridge amp info:
12-28vdc powered
deliever +/-5vdc OR +/-10vdc
and 4mA to 20mA output
bridge excitation set to 5vdc for 120ohm bridge

Like I said it works fine on the bench. Not with a DL1
DL1 wont read bridge amp
DL1 wont read bridge amp

the range of the load cell is 500lbs @ +/-10vdc.
when i stand on the load cell mulit meter it is saying 4.985vdc.. (im around 250lbs, stands to reason)
i connect DL1 in parallel to meter, meter reads same, log data, load into analysis, analaysis shows 0 to .05mV, assume it should show same as meter ie roughly 5v.
disconnect meter, log again, same 0 to .05mV
im guessing that .05mV is more likely just noise... so i guess it is probably reading 0v

currently trying to just log onto card, and check in analysis, i checked that serial is on, shows nothing on light monitor also
Are you sure your config on the DL1 is correct?
