I'm using PicoLog with ADC-100.
My installation is composed of a load cell and an amplifier (these two components work).
Datas are right when I apply a load under 1.050kg but when the load exceeds that weight, the value of the datas goes down to zero and keep on increasing (1.050kg corresponding to 0.525mV).
I apply on the load cell 50g per 50g, it makes a linear graphe increasing each time I add 50g.
Whereas when the load exceeds 1050g, the curve goes very quickly to 0V and keep increasing when I keep applying weights (instead of be linear and proportional during the whole manipulation).
The question is why the curve come back to 0V instead of keep increasing?
The second thing I don't understand is why the voltage given by the software is not the same than the voltage on the input channel of the ADC-100?
I don't if it's sufficient for you to solve the problem but tell me if you want more infomations.
In fact the adc-100 I used don'dt work correctly. I'am using now the data logger adc-11 USB.
With this new data logger, when I launch a record, approximately 6 hours later the software stop and a window with "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" as title is displayed. The window give the following message:
Ensure that you tick the box to 'support other devices' after you select the device type during installation.
Do not connect the ADC-11 during software installation and, before running PicoLog, connect the ADC-11 to the USB port to invoke the 'new hardware found' wizard.
