7.2.4 Load Cell Measurement

Figure 7-5 shows the OPA4H838-SEP in a high-CMRR dual-op amp instrumentation amplifier with a trim resistor and 6-wire load cell for precision measurement. Figure 7-6 illustrates the output voltage as a function of load cell resistance change, along with the nonlinearity of the system.
