Sensitivity (mV/V) This column is used for calibrating a load cell or transducer using the Name Plate calibration
method. To change this value, select the box and enter a number greater than 0 and less
than 1000. The fill option is available for this column (see Units).
Shunt
(Units) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using the Shunt calibration method. The value
must equal the value of the shunt resistor in desired units. To change the value, select the
box and enter a number greater than 0 and less than 1000000. The shunt value must not
exceed the value entered as the maximum load. The fill option is available for this column
(see Units).
Bridge Resistance
(Ohms) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using the Shunt calibration method. The value
refers to the bridge arm that is shunted during shunt calibration. To change the value,
select the box and enter a number from 60 to 1000. The fill option is available for this
column (see Units).
Full Rated Load
(Units) This column is used for calibrating a load cell or transducer using the Name Plate calibration
method. To change this value, select the box and enter a number greater than 0 and less
than 100000. The full-rated load must be greater than the value entered for the maximum
applied load. The fill option is available for this column (see Units).
Max Applied Load
(Units) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using any calibration method. To change the
value, select the box and enter a number greater than 0 and less than 1000000. This value
must be greater than the quiescent/tare value. The fill option is available for this column
(see Units).
Quiescent/Tare
(Units) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using any calibration method. The value
entered is the value of the quiescent load on the sensor. To change the value, select the
box and enter a number between –1000000 and 1000000. This value must be less than
the maximum applied load value. The fill option is available for this column (see Units).
Point 1 (mV input) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using the Shunt or 2-Point Automatic
calibration method. The number must equal the input value, in mV, of the first point in the
calibration. To change the value, select the box and enter a number between -10000 and
10000. The fill option is available for this column (see Units).
Point 1 (Units) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using the Shunt, 2-Point Automatic, or 2-Point
Manual calibration method. The number must equal the value, in the selected units, of the
first point in the calibration. To change the value, select the box and enter a number
between -1000000 and 1000000. The fill option is available for this column (see Units).
Point 2 (mV input) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using the 2-Point Automatic calibration
method. The number must equal the input value, in mV, of the second point in the
calibration. To change the value, select the box and enter a number between -10000 and
10000. The fill option is available for this column (see Units).
Point 2 (Units) This column is used for calibrating any sensor using the 2-Point Automatic, or 2-Point
Manual calibration method. The number must equal the value, in the selected units, of the
second point in the calibration. To change the value, select the box and enter a number
between -1000000 and 1000000. The fill option is available for this column (see Units).
