Reading Small voltages

PapaG:
While the circuit is indisputably a Wheatstone bridge, when naming strain gauge configurations one considers the number of active arms. The OP's configuration is called a half bridge circuit by those familiar with the terminology and can be verified by reading the data sheet for a common strain gauge amplifier from Analog Devices 5B38.pdf

Your link is broken, maybe it's only a half or quarter link? :wink:

lol, you're right. Maybe only 1/8 link. :slight_smile: Fixed.
