What needs to be remembered when trying to excite multiple strain gages from the same excitation channel?

Each data logger has specific excitation current sourcing capability. It is imperative not to exceed this current limit when trying to excite multiple strain gages from the same excitation channel.

  • The equivalent resistance of the 4WFBS120 is 214.285 ohm. If the circuit is being excited with 2.5 V (2500 mV), it will draw 11.67 mA (2500 mV / 214.285 ohm = 11.67 mA).
  • The equivalent resistance of the 4WFBS350 is 518.518 ohm. If the circuit is being excited with 2.5 V (2500 mV), it will draw 4.82 mA (2500 mV / 518.518 ohm = 4.82 mA).
  • The equivalent resistance of the 4WFBS1K is 1000.00 ohm. If the circuit is being excited with 2.5 V (2500 mV), it will draw 2.5 mA (2500 mV / 1000 ohm = 2.5 mA).
