Hi community,
First time poster, long time viewer.
Is there a way to convert the data of a load cell that had S- and P- wires swapped to reflect accurate data?
I recently finished with a fatigue test on a steel beam where I was sampling the data of multiple sensors using a Keysight multi-measuring unit.
One of the sensors, load cell in this case, had been installed incorrectly. The singal- and power- wires had been swapped and was not noticed until the fatigue test was finished. There is not a way to recreate the fatigue test, but I did notice that the data values of the load cell appear to be scaled by 0.5 of values I received on a previous similar test and expected values. When the test was performing, someone did notice that the load cell appeared to be half of what was expected/calculated. I scaled the data by a factor of 2 and the data looks pretty good, but I do not know how to confirm that it is accurate. Can someone confirm this or suggest a more accurate way of converting the data?
The load cell is an Interface Standard Precision Load Cell.
