Thanks for the quick reply brent :) I came across NI-DAQMX, in which we can design and execute daq systems (with or without real hardware ) in LabVIEW. In a similar fashion, does RCP works on any platform? We're trying to validate our results with the simulation results that can be acquired by model...

About excitation voltage

Does the RCP come with a built in excitation voltage, so that we can use this for exciting our bridge circuit? If yes, do we have to make use of it by any scripting methods?

[quote="brentp"]Interesting, but a muxing solution like that actually exceeds the complexity of using off the shelf analog to CAN converters. Leveraging the CAN bus for I/O expansion is *exactly* the purpose it was suited for, and will yield much higher sample rates. Good point about strai...

[quote="toga94m"]If you don't need really fast data, you could use 4 digital output bits to drive a 16:1 mux, which would feed one of 16 analog channels at a time into one RCP analog input. Or, you could use two 16:1 mux chips to bring 16 pairs (32 analog channels) into two RCP analog inpu...

[quote="brentp"]Hi - RaceCapture/Pro has 7 direct analog inputs. If you need many input channels, we recommend using an analog to CAN bus expansion, or custom build hardware for your strain gauges to output data directly in CAN bus. Yes, you have a very custom need with a very custom solut...

Question about strain gauges

Hello everyone, We're planning to use half bridge strain gauges configuration to measure the load(stress) that is being applied on the A arms of our car and log data using a data logger (during testing in a close environment and remotely when the car is on track). We're planning to install nearly 25...
