ME397 Week #5 'Strain Gages, ADC, & LabVIEW'

Lecture #5 for ME397 at the University of Evansville. This lecture finishes an introduction to strain gages by discussing how multiple gages can be used to compensate for unwanted effects in a strain measurement (e.g. temperature, bending, etc.). This lecture also tries to connect and summarize what students have been learning regarding computer data acquisition (DAQ), signal noise on wires, and LabVIEW programming.
