Calibrating Using a Shunt Resistor Shunt calibration can be performed by combining with the YOKOGAWA's strain module (Model 701271 (STRAIN_DSUB) that supports shunt calibration. Connection procedures for the shunt resistor The following two connection methods are available. In normal cases, connect the resistor in correcting the gain on the negative side.
