Assuming a strain-gauge range with a gauge factor of GF = 2 and a 
quarter-bridge configuration, this range corresponds to ±1,498 µ
ε
 as given 
by the strain formula for a quarter-bridge strain-gauge configuration:

Using the SCXI-1321 with RTDs and Thermistors
When using this terminal block with RTDs or thermistor-type transducers 
and with the SCXI-1121 excitation set in the Current mode, you must 
disable the nulling circuit of the channel of interest. You can do this in two 
steps:
1.
Place the enable/disable jumper in position D (disable) as shown in 
Table 2-12.
2.
Remove the nulling resistor from its sockets.
