The BCM-1 bridge module completes
the Wheatstone bridge circuit. The
module can be used for quarter-bridge
measurements with 120 or 350 Ω
gages, or for half-bridges with gages
of any resistance. A bridge-balanceadjustment potentiometer zeros
the bridge output. Strain gage,
excitation, and output signals are
connected via screw terminals.
Quarter-bridges with 2- or 3-wire hookup
can be accommodated.
