InlineLoadCell.com — parallel / independent acquisition planning worksheet
Owned planning aid. Not an approved generic wiring diagram.

Goal: total force / support distribution / each tendon / one series-path force
Mechanical sketch and local external/inertial loads:
Number of sensors and individual capacities:
Required calibrated force span and smallest useful increment:

For each sensor:
- Item, revision, serial, approved load direction and mounting
- Nominal/calibrated sensitivity per force and zero offset
- Input bridge resistance (excitation loading)
- Output resistance (combined-output weighting)
- Excitation/sense/shield/case diagram and cable arrangement
- Calibration association / uncertainty / reference conditions

Common excitation, if approved:
- Equivalent input resistance and expected supply current
- Instrument voltage/current/headroom and approved parallel count
- Cable losses, sense arrangement, thermal and fault behavior
- Manufacturer-approved matching / trimming / total-system calibration

Independent acquisition, if required:
- Per-channel rate versus aggregate conversion rate
- Simultaneous or multiplexed; channel skew and clock synchronization
- Isolation if needed (separate from channel identity)
- Timestamps, calibration association, filter, saturation and dropout flags
- Controller interface and total latency

Acceptance:
- Loading distributions and reference forces
- Individual readings versus software total, if physically appropriate
- Failure/saturation/stale-data response
