6.1.1 Shunt resistor
A shunt resistor (1 mV/V) is incorporated in all the CANHEAD base modules
for single strain gages in a quarter bridge circuit (CB1014, CB1015 and
CB1016). Use a jumper setting to decide whether this internal shunt resistor or
an external one, for example a precision resistor with certification, is to be
used.
By using the following formula
S the requisite shunt for a required misalignment can be determined, or
S the misalignment for a given shunt can be determined

Measurement errors caused by the effect of the cable resistor in the
unregulated three‐wire circuit (CB1014) can be corrected by proper use of the
shunt calibration.
