With the HI 1771WS, the 1771-RTA will have connections marked for +/- exc, +/- sen and +/- sig. The +/- exc is the 10 supply voltage (actual is +5 and -5v). You would want to sample this excitation voltage on the sense lines. To do this you can place a shorting jumper between +exc & +sen and another between -exc & -sen. Then your mv signal will come in on the +/- sig connections. The RT board should have a pre-made cable that would connect to the module.
If you have the A-B RT44 board instead of the Hardy RTA board, you should still have a pre-made cable to the module. The connections on the RT44 would be:
R3 = +exc
I1 = -exc
I3 = +sen
R1 = -sen
R2 = +sig
I2 = -sig
This wiring is available in the Hardy HI 1771WS manual, which you can get online, or for the A-B RT44, in the 1771-WS, Publication 1771-6.5-117 on Rockwell's web site.
