calibration of the load cell

I have a new 5 lb load cell, I want to replace the old one with.  The former load cell had previously been calibrated to the program and was located in the drop down menu, as well as several other cells.  So far all I've done is went to edit items in the menu properties ring and add in the name of load cell - I did in all references to the program.  There are several references to the cell of support throughout the program, but most is a case of event "loadcell scale" that passes across the cell to the variable global-loadcell scale and a cell nationally for initialization.  I have attached a manual for the program I work with (the cell for initialization is not displayed).    I have never calibrated a scale before and do not know the appropriate measures, so any advice will be appreciated.  I have to do something to the MAX?

as a side question what are and when do you use the stringsand values of the nodes property.

Thank you

Hello

Here are two links about calibration with our software. It is usually done through MAX and step by step instructions can be found in the links.

As to when to use property nodes, they are used whenever you want to programmatically set some properties or attributes. For example, if you want to programmatically change the color of the text in a control that is based on what is displayed or channel indicator or resize the control or the indicator.

  • load cell

    Hello

    I use NI 9219 with model Honeywell scale 11. The problem is that the voltage for 9219 is 2, 7V while the calibrated for the load cell voltage is 5V. When I connect the two device, I always get the release of Labview, but how can I calibrate the sensor?

    Load cells operate on a principle of millivolts per Volt.  You should not need to calibrate the load cell just because you use a different voltage.  You just need to use the value of mV/V provided with certificate of calibration of the load cell in the setup of the scale of the load cell chain.

  • With the help of external excitation of load cell 9219

    I want to use 9219 to assess the load cells.

    Internal excitement for 9219 is not sufficient for my application, this device can be used with an external excitation source?

    If Yes is it as simple as cross the bridge of load cell using the external voltage and the output of the bridge on the 9219?

    Power max would be approximately 20 mV.

    Then the 9237 is probably your best choice. For this voltage, you will need to use an external source.

  • Configure a load cell connected to multifunction DAQ

    I'm trying to connect a LCDH Omega 10 K scale by a module of constraint Dataforth SCM5B38-37 then AI0 gauge on a USB-6251 multifunction data acquisition.

    In addition to the load cell, the application will use a pressure sensor with a strain gauge bridge module plugged into AI1 to read the pressure of hydrulic.  The pressure transducer using a measure of the force will be calculated and compared with the reading of load cell.

    Currently, the USB-6251 box is configured to read analog voltage on AI0.  The scale is then performed using linear Fit.VI.

    Review the example Bridge - entry continues shows some additional controls may increase the accuracy of the reading.

    Unfortunately trying to use the DAQ Assistant only added to my confusion of the best practice in the acquisition of a signal from a load cell.

    Hello!

    I was looking into your question and found a few links that might help you configure your system. The first is a white paper that discusses some of the basic concepts of the gauges of constraint and their use with LabVIEW, shunt calibration and also covers some of the resistance values you see:

    http://www.NI.com/white-paper/3642/en/

    As you can see in this article, we have some specific hardware, built for the kind of measures you take. Because these devices are manufactured specifically for this application, they would provide better and more reliable results. That being said, you can configure your system with your USB-6521, it might not be as accurate as one of these systems. To set up your measurement system, rather than defining the analog input as a measure of deformation, you want to use the voltage custom with the option of excitement. This article treats this yet:

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/C66F92BDE229F45A86257B6D004D6033

    We get you your data in the form of Volts/Volts (this document addresses more info on bridge probe scaling: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370466W-01/measfunds/bridgescaling/), , but you should make sure you standardize this value to the excitement. Devices such as the NI 9237 provide the voltage and can take this known value in to account within the program, but you may need to do this manually for your application. Here is additional information on the NI 9237 and how it is configured to read information from strain gauge:

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/892C84122A6501AE86257547007E5C53?OpenDocument

    Regarding the configuration of unit load and the information, you can try to contact the manufacturer for more information!

    Hello, YTC,.

    The problem is most likely in your external connections of the NI 9237 and the load cell.  As mentioned in NI 9237 Operating Instructions and specifications, page 9, SC + SC - pins must be connected to the terminals of the resistance specified in the .vi of Shunt calibration perform DAQmx (bridge) (in the case of a full bridge, it would be R3).

  • How can I convert a 3 mV/V to a load cell signal to something I can read using a field point AIO-600?

    I use an external powere supply 12V to supply voltage to the load cell, and I'm reading data using AIO-600. There is a separate module that can do this, but is it possible to do it with the current material?

    Russell,

    The lowest input for the AIO-600 range is 0 - 6V.  This means that you will have a resolution of 12 bits (11.3 effective) broadcast more than 6 volts.  I guess that your full scale signal max will be 36mV.  Without amplification, you will not have a very high quality signal.  It would be the best bet to amplify your output signal mV as close to the load as possible cell and then connect this signal amplified to your AIO-600.

    Best,

  • Load cell, compatibility linear actuator

    I am putting together a new test configuration that will operate a linear actuator, in charge of sampling. Data will be graphically represented on a graph of load vs displacement. I am new to Data Acquisition, so I just wanted to run my installation by a person who has a little more experience before you start spending money.

    Motor and controller are ZAGARELLA. The engine is a NEMA size 23, 60mm travel (model #NA23C60), the force of 175 lbs; controller is a phase 2, up to 2. 5A by the motor controller step-by-step phase (Model #T - MCA). Engine connects to the controller with a Minidin 8. Data cable to the controller is a controller's connector Minidin 6.

    Load cell is a cell of weighing Subminiature Honeywell Model 11 with a capacity of 100 lbs (range BR code). I also use a Honeywell model UV-10 online amplifier to convert the millivolt signal ±10Vdc signal.

    Input module is a NI 9219, 4 channels, with connector 6-pos or blocks.

    Output module is a NI 9265, 4 channels, with connector 10-pos or blocks.

    My question is, what is the best way to connect to the motor controller for input/output modules? Also, same question for the Load Cell/amplifier and the input module. My setup looks, as it will work. I'm off little blind here and would be greatly HERE can anyone shed any light. Thanks in advance.

    Jeremy robots

    Hi Jeremy,.

    I'm not too familiar with the ZAGARELLA products but you were seeking to use the modules OR to send commands to the controller or you were looking to them for use as drive for the engine? Whatever it is, these modules will not be able to do it either. A quick search on google shows that the motor controller communicates via serial and or one of the modules that you have listed has a connector series. If you plan put these modules in a cRIO, you could use a NI 987 x to communicate through series.

    If you thought using modules OR as a drive for the engine, it is not possible either. You say your Motors require 2. 5, but most NI 9265 will be able to output is 20 m.

    In regard to the load cell, it seems you're going to need power external amplifier, which make no incremental signal you're trying to read. 9219 read only of differential signals, then you probably want to consider using a NI 920 x or a 9221. To connect the signal of the amplifier to one of these modules, the signal wire should go to one of the channels I and the Earth to the Terminal COM.

  • Load cell amplifier signals

    Hi all

    I am building an app to read a signal in a cell in charge of RS & amplifier using a USB6210 data acquisition card. I ' v tried SE & Diff connections, and I see a change in signal when I apply a load, but it is not quite what I expected (see attached screenshots of MAX).

    I am providing an external 5V to the amplifier, so no load can expect approximately 3V from the amp - it works OK. With a load applied, I expected to see a constant voltage drop, however I seem to have become unstable, with decrease in voltage.

    No idea why this is happening, any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Need help with calibration of the battery

    I have a Vn7 - 591 g and it's basically old 1.

    My problem is my laptop stop without noticing low battery notification and without any warning since I updated my windows 10 November pro build.

    First, it would close down to the level of 15% without indication battery and then I looked at here and there and find the calibration procedure as I tried battery as the load calibration procedures to 100% in stop and go in safe mode and let it drain and recharge again, after the fact that now he stops at the level of battery by 30% or 25% without notice or warning.

    I tried battery reset thing pinhole also as suggested somwhere in this discussion.

    One thing I noticed when I put my laptop power in High-Performance option, low battery, that it just goes right into hibernation but when I plug in the AC adapter it shows battery 0% or 1%, and perception.

    so is it problem in my battery or Power Options or the problem is another?

    Any help will be appreciate and please answer quickly because I am sad with this problem. It is a one year old laptop around, I bought new.

    Hello

    Well, the wear level is quite high for a laptop one year old. Do you often use on the farm?

    It is interesting that hwmonitor reads the same amount as that of windows, stop so suddenly, because of the battery not calibrated... I don't think so. It may be the case even if the PCI that controls the battery charging does not correctly read the State. That would mean that you would need to change the battery (the peak is on the battery).

    You can try to run battery Eater: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Battery-Eater-Pro.shtml

    This software will monitor your battery while meeting and then make a graph of it after a reboot. I don't remember if trace the graph based on the percentage, or the actual capacity of the battery.

    You can read more about what the software did here:

    http://Lifehacker.com/5657275/battery-Eater-benchmarks-your-batterys-capacity-so-you-know-what-to-ex...

    Also, would probably be a good idea to see if what happens on another operating system as well. For example, you can try to make a USB boot Linux, ubuntu and check if your laptop suddenly stops at the same percentage values. If it is not the case, which is probably something just with windows.

    Hi all

    I use JS to display or hide fields, based on the values of other fields, cela in a tabular presentation. So it is used as a work-around as dynamic actions are not able to do out of the box on tabular forms (that I know of).
    The code I use is something like this:

    In the page header:

    function test (pThis) {}

    var currIndex = $('select[name="'+pThis.name+'"]').index ($x (pThis.id));

    }
    }

    In the attributes of the item in the column 'source '.
    OnChange = "JavaScript:test (this); »

    This fires that when the source column is changed, but not working when you load at the start page when it is filled with already stored reports. So it works only when a field is changed to the hand.

  • How to use the .icm calibration a parser in the calibration of the timeline?

    I am currently using a wide gammut HP ZR30w screen that has been calibrated by the Dreamcolor Hp Advanced profiling solution (it's basically a put to update the X-rite i1 display that takes in charge wide gammuts).

    I created a good .icm and windows 7 is color management applications that are supported on the OS level color management.  However Speedgrade CS6 does not support color management in windows 7 at the OS level.

    However, Speedgrade has a calibration module in the timeline panel-> Configuration tab.  Here, you can load luts and .icm files.  I tried my loading screens. ICM, but the result was very mixed and clearly wrong.

    Is it possible to convert the. ICM generated by x-rite software so that I can listen to extracts specific rec.709 of colors in Speedgrade without having to use a second monitor?  Currently a quadro with SDI output is a very expensive thing to buy, and my monitor is not an sRGB mode.

    I was able to convert the .icm profile for my monitor profile tool HP Dreamcolor advanced using dispcalGUI.  It is also worth noting that I don't have to calibrate the monitor again as the dispalGUI program has a tool that allows to convert any .icm to a lut .cube valid for load in Speedgrade, and I assumed that other applications such as Davinci.

    Here's how:

    • Install the required files of ArgyLL and DispcalGUI.  Check out their site for info
    • Once you have done DispcalGUI to the ArgyLL files, you can go to:
      • Create TOOLS--> 3D LUT
    • Under Profile Source, I chose Rec.709 HDTV.  This is the profile that you want your colors must be transformed.
    • Under target profile, select it. ICM your generated color calibration software.  In windows 7, they are usually stored here:
      • C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color
    • Uncheck the apply calibration (vcgt)
    • Under make intention you will need to make a choice.  This site should help: 
      • I chose Colorimetry Relative because my Wide gammut monitor can display more colors than the Rec.709, there is no reason to choose absolute Colorimetry as any color outside my calibration of monitors could mess with colors even if they can legally appear on my monitor.
    • 3D Lut format was IRIDAS .cube
    • And the lut there were 32 x 32 x 32.
    • Save a .cube file by pressing "create 3d LUT...". »
    • In Adobe Speedgrade and on the Schedule tab, select INSTALL program.
    • Under calibration,... Click to load a lut custom somewhere on your PC.
    • Navigate to where you saved your file .cube and select.
    • The video preview is now based on your current calibration .icm color managed

    To verify that your profile is correct, try to open up a jpeg to sRGB in the windows photo viewer as it is managed by the OS of color.  Import this same Jpeg in Speedgrade and see with the monitor with your calibration loaded lut.  The results should be the same.
