Capable of conducting applicable measurement without manual setting by reading the information with the TEDS-compatible amplifier. - Page 67 *13 Bridge excitation current A current of power supplied to a Wheatstone bridge. Since the current is constant current, if the cable resistance increases, the current and voltage, applied to the transducer, is stable. Changes of cable resistance, due to cable extension, do not affect the voltage applied to the transducer. However, compensate the bridge resistance when the bridge resistance is different from the nominal bridge resistance.
