Sx-STG supports the following types of bridge completion:
quarter bridge to full bridge (fixed half bridge + selectable supplementation resistor)
half bridge to full bridge (fixed half bridge)
Shunt check
With the shunt check an internal resistor is temporarily connected to one quadrant (section) or consecutively
to all sections of the bridge circuit. This has a definite affect on the output of the bridge. Is the shunt check
executed before start and after the end of each measurement task, the correct function (offset, gain, stability)
of the sensor can be validated by comparing the results.
The shunt check can be initiated during
- the configuration mode
- the measurement mode
The parameters of the shunt check can be output in CSV format to the software to be stored and used later
on. In order to identify the shunt check results within the data record, start and end of the shunt check
process is marked with a series of -FS (Minus Full Scale) values.
