Direct resistive method
This section describes how to configure the selected channel for direct 2-wire and 4-wire strain gage measurements
from the front panel. The measurement configurations for 2-wire and 4-wire direct resistive are same, below
descriptions explained by using 2-wire resistance measurements.
1. Connect direct resistive source to the module's screw terminals.
2-wire direct strain:
4-wire direct strain:
2. Press [Channel] > Measure, and select STRAIN from the selection menu.
3. Press Sense Settings > Sense, specify the strain measurement method as direct 2-wire or 4-wire. Do note that
the Range softkey (as seen in step 2) will no longer be available for configuration once direct 2-wire or 4-wire
method is selected.
