7.9.12.6.3 FieldCalStrain() Quarter-Bridge Shunt Example
With CRBasic example
FieldCalStrain() Calibration
(p. 225)
sent to the CR1000,
and the strain gage stable, use the CR1000KD Keyboard Display or software
numeric monitor to change the value in variable
KnownRes
to the nominal
resistance of the gage,
1000
Ω, as shown in figure
Strain-Gage Shunt Calibration
Start
(p. 226).
Set
Shunt_Mode
to
1
to start the two-point shunt calibration. When
Shunt_Mode
increments to
3
, the first step is complete.
To complete the calibration, shunt R1 with
the 249 kΩ resistor. Set variable
KnownRes
to
249000
. As shown in figure
Strain-Gage Shunt Calibration Finish
(p. 227),
set
Shunt_Mode
to
4
. When
Shunt_Mode
=
6
, shunt calibration is
complete.
