Load Cell Measurements using HX711 amplifier in labview

Hi, 

 

I've been working on making all the electronics for a universal testing machine in labview. I'm basically going to use labview to control the motor on the machine and also take the data simultaneously (loading and displacement). We are using an HX711 amplifier for the load cell and I'm using a NI-DAQ6003 board to control everything. We plan to find the displacement by keeping track of the ticks on the encoder in the motor. 

 

I'm a little lost because I'm unsure of how to take the measurements from the amplifier and encoder. I don't know what the output is exactly from them and can't seem to find anything that explicitly says what it outputs. If I knew what it output and its relationship to the load cell's current loading, I would be able to set up the VI to do the math and everything. At least, this was my idea. 

 

If anyone knows anything about this or has done this before, I'm very open to hearing any advice.
