Introduction Chapter 1 Unpacking Your SC-2043-SG board is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic damage to the board. Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on the board. To avoid such damage in handling the board, take the following precautions: • Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded chassis such as a computer chassis. • Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your computer chassis before removing the board from the package.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Switch SW1 selects the power supply source for the SC-2043-SG board. Two jumpers, W1 and W3, select the excitation source for the strain gauge bridges. Jumper W2 routes either the excitation voltage signal or the channel 0 signal to analog input channel 0 on the DAQ board. Jumper W8 routes either the excitation voltage signal or an external signal to analog input channel 8 (for MIO and MIO E Series boards only). Jumpers W4–W7 and W10–W13 configure the o

Installation and Configuration Chapter 2 Onboard/External Excitation Selection If you want to use the onboard voltage excitation source to excite your strain gauge bridges, set both jumpers W1 and W3 to the INT position. If you want to use an external excitation source, set both jumpers W1 and W3 to the EXT position and connect your excitation source to connector J7. Table 2-3.

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Local Excitation Sense Selection MIO or MIO E Series Boards If you are using the SC-2043-SG with an MIO or MIO E Series board, you can locally sense the exact level of the excitation voltage by routing the excitation voltage (internal or external) to one of two analog channels, selected by jumpers W8 and W2. Table 2-4 shows these jumper settings. Setting jumper W8 to the EX position (the factory setting) routes the excitation voltage to ACH8 so you can

Installation and Configuration Chapter 2 Lab/1200 Series Boards If you are using the SC-2043-SG with a Lab/1200 Series board, you can locally sense the exact level of the excitation voltage by routing the excitation voltage (internal or external) to ACH0, configured by jumper W2. The SC-2043-SG also has jumper W8, which you must also configure. Table 2-5 shows these jumper settings. Caution: Although the factory-default setting for jumper W8 is the EX position, you MUST set jumper W8 to the S
