4WFBS120, 4WFBS350, 4WFBS1K 4 Wire Full Bridge Terminal Input Modules (TIM)
Example Program 4.3. CR1000 ¼ Bridge Strain using an AM16/32B
Multiplexer with 16 reps and zero offset
This example program has 16 strain gages multiplexed through an AM16/32
Multiplexer and uses FieldCalStrain for zeroing.
