A potentiometer can be seen similar to a half bridge sensor with ±500 mV/V sensitivity. Therefore potentio-
metric sensors can be measured with bridge ampliers.
The advantages of using bridge ampliers for potentiometric measurements: only one multifunctional mod-
ule with high bandwidth and a programmable offset (by adjusting the offset and range, you can focus on a
certain potentiometer position with higher resolution).
Module conguration
DAQP-BRIDGE-A: Excitation: 0.5 V
Range: 500 mV/V
The following table shows how the mV/V ranges are calculated. The ranges depend on the gain and the
excitation voltage (note that commas indicate decimal points in this table):
⇒ Always change the excitation voltage before changing the input range, otherwise you will not get the required
500 mV/V range.
