-  * The minimum loop supply voltage is also dependent on the configuration of the drive circuit for the bridge.  +Current drive configuration can be used for four-wire ohm circuit configuration where in the main advantage of this configuration is that the voltage is measured directly across the load cellneglecting the load effect of the lead wires for long distance measurements.
-  * In the voltage drive mode with VDRIVE = 10 V, the supply voltage VLOOP must be greater than 10.2 V and in the current drive mode must be greater than 11.2 V in order to maintain sufficient headroom.+

 +Both for voltage and current drive mode, the minimum loop supply voltage is dependent on the configuration of the drive circuit for the bridge.

 +==== Output Measurements ==== 
 +The output of the system can be measured in two ways, either through direct output current measurement or voltage output through the series resistor.

 +  * Voltage output measurement is done across a series 250ohms resistor though screw type terminal block (P1).
 +<note important>It is important that the 2-pin male header (J1) be populated first before doing a voltage measurement across the terminal block (P1)</note>

 +The system has an onboard resistor load (R14) of 500ohms that can be de-soldered to replace with a desired resistor load value
