18.3 Resistance measurements
Bridge resistance is determined by measuring the difference between a known voltage applied to
the excitation (input) of a resistor bridge and the voltage measured on the output arm. The data
logger supplies a precise voltage excitation via VX terminals. Return voltage is measured on
analog input terminals configured for single-ended (SE) or differential (DIFF) input. The result of
the measurement is a ratio of measured voltages.
