    Sga01 strain gauge amplifier 30/04/2008 page 4 of 6 half bridge circuit when using the sga with a half bridge load cell, two additional resistors must be placed in the circuit. The resistors should be rated to the same value as the maximum resistance of the load cell’s internal resistors and must be...

    Sga01 strain gauge amplifier 30/04/2008 page 5 of 6 calibration calibration of the strain gauge amplifier takes place in two steps, or two steps per channel if more than one channel is being used: offset calibration and scale calibration. First calibrate the offset by subjecting the load cell to the...
