 ==== Sensor Drive ====  ==== Sensor Drive ==== 
-     The Agilent 3458A or any equivalent current meter can be used to measure the actual loop current output of the evaluation board+The circuit can be switched to the current or voltage drive configuration by moving S1 to the position labeled on the PCB

 +=== Voltage Drive Configuration === 
 +  In the voltage drive mode with VDRIVE = 10 V, the supply voltage VLOOP or system supply must be greater than 10.2 V  
 +=== Current Drive Configuration === 
 +  * In the current drive mode, the supply voltage VLOOP or system supply must be greater than 11.2 V in order to maintain sufficient headroom.

-  * 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.+

 +==== 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.

 +===   * Current Measurement ===
 +  * Current output measurement is done by connecting the positive terminal of the current meter at one pin of the male header shunt terminal (J1) and the negative terminal of the meter connected to the other pin of the same male header shunt terminal.

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