Hi,
I have a braked dyno with one load cell. Is it possible to use LoadCell2 input for something.
My idea is to use 4 load cells with junction summing box to measure the vehicle weight.
Yes, you can do that. In the latest software version, all Load cell torque channels are available.
You need a math channel to convert from torque to weight, as the channel is in torque. The easiest way to do that is to calibrate by placing the weight directly on top of the load cell. You set the Distance to calibration weight to 1m or 1ft. In the math channel you need to divide by 9.81 if you are in Nm/kg. For lbft you are already in lbs, so no calculation is needed (i.e. it just equals the LoadCellTorque channel). In the math channel you set the unit to kg or lbs.
