Measuring Strain
Converting values to stress
Multiply Young's modulus by the measured value.
σ (stress) = E (Young's modulus) × ε (measured value)
Example: When measuring compression stress
For an aluminum measurement target being measured using the 1-gage method, the following
table indicates a Young's modulus value of 73 (GPa).
σ = 73 × 10
= 73 × measured value (unit: kPa)
= 7.44* × measured value (unit: gf/mm
*: 1 Pa = 1.01971621 × 10
Conversion ratio = 7.44; unit: gf/mm
Set the scaling conversion ratio's slope to this value.
See "1.7 Using the Scaling Function" (p. 5 8).

Auto-balancing
You can execute auto-balance (correcting the input at zero) for strain gage channels.
See p. 3 7.
