5.7.1.5 Balancing and shunt calibration
The amplifier offers a variety of possibilities to trigger bridge balancing:
· Balancing / shunt calibration upon activation (cold start) of the unit. If this option is selected, all the
bridge channels are balanced as soon as the device is turned on.
· Balancing / shunt calibration via graphical user interface of device software (channel balance
respectively amplifier balance)
· In shunt calibration, the bridge is unbalanced by means of a 59.8 kΩ or 174.66 kΩ shunt. The results
are:
Bridge resistance
120 Ω
350 Ω
59.8 kΩ
174.7 kΩ
0.5008 mV/V
0.171 mV/V
1.458 mV/V
0.5005 mV/V
The procedures for balancing bridge channels also apply analogously to the voltage measurement mode
with zero-balancing.
Note
· We recommend setting channels which are not connected for voltage measurement at the highest
input range. Otherwise, if unconnected channels are in quarter- or half-bridge mode, interference
may occur in a shunt calibration!
