4.17. Connecting Strain Gauges
Strain gauges connect to the C, D or E channels as shown below.
The key settings for strain gauge sensors are:
Measurement Type: Analog
Analog type: Diff C, D or E
Input Range: 39mV or 312mV (**no bias needed)
Slope: as needed to scale the reading.
4.18. Programmable Excitation References
The built-in excitation reference voltage is 2.5 volts available on multiple pins.
4.19. Connecting Prop/Vane or Anemometer/Vane
Wind Sensors
The prop/vane or anemometer/vane wind sensors like the RMYoung wind sensor typically have a
potentiometer for direction and frequency output for speed. The RMYoung connects as shown
