Back to us and M&AE 3272:
M&AE 3272 - Lecture 4 3
Were going to learn how to mount strain gages onto an elastic member in order to
fabricate a Load cell, or Force transducer.
WSachse; 2/2014;
Continue to become familiar with strain gages; characteristics; mounting procedures, etc.
Take a look at the Supplementary Materials on Blackboard related to strain gages.
Learn LabVIEW. Complete the LabVIEW Assignment! This must be uploaded to LabArchives PRIOR to when you will meet in Rhodes 106 to write your vi .
Sections #405, #406, #407, #408, #410, #412 and #414 meet in B30 Upson to learn how to mount strain gages.
Sections #401, #402, #403, #404, #409, and #413 go to Rhodes 106 to write your vi .

Introduction to LabVIEW:
A graphical programming environment which is used by many in industry and academia to run experiments, collect and process data.
The computer with ancillary input and output hardware becomes a virtual instrument or vi.
We will use it in Module 2 to collect voltage data, corresponding to small changes in electrical resistance of strain gages attached to elastic members (load cell), while the load cell is being calibrated and or while it is in use.
We will use it in Module 3 to collect data from multiple sensors on a dynamical system (bicycle).

Dynamic Range / Resolution of Load Cell:

A/D Converter Resolution: 24 bits = 16,777,216 voltage levelsA/D Converter Input Signal Range: +/-25 mV/VBridge excitation is 2.5 VMaximum Input Voltage: 25 mV/V2.5 V= 62.5 mV VmaxVoltage Resolution: 262.5 mV/16777216 = 7.451E-9 V
PADmax = Vmax/Calib_Factor >>> System Maximum Load
This will correspond to the Maximum Allowable Load if A/D Converter Controls Dynamic Range.
Load Resolution: Smallest theoretically detectable Load Resolution corresponding to one level or . . .
PADmin = 7.451E-9/Calib_Factor >>> System Load Resolution

Re: Load Cell System Range and Resolution:
M&AE 3272 - Lecture 4 25
Load Cell Dynamic Range is likely NOT determined by Vmax of ADC System rather by < Yield/F.S.
Load Cell Resolution may NOT be determined by the Voltage Resolution of the ADC but rather by other factors.
