2. (20 points) Given: A quarter-bridge Wheatstone bridge circuit is used with a strain gage to measure strains up to ±1000 µstrain for a beam vibrating at a maximum frequency of 20 Hz, As shown in Figure 1. • The supply voltage to the Wheatstone bridge is Vs = 6.00 V DC • All Wheatstone bridge resistors and the strain gage itself are 1000 • The strain gage factor for the strain gage is GF = 2 • The output voltage Vo is sent into a 12-bit A/D converter with a range of ±10 V Op-amps, resistors, and capacitors are available in this lab ● (d) To do:If the applied force F=0, usually the output voltage after the A/D converter is not equal to zero, give your explanations and methods to eliminate the influence of this offset voltage.
