NI 9235/9236 
Quarter-bridge measurements are inherently sensitive to accuracy 
degradation due to the lead resistance of wiring from the sensor to 
the measurement device. For a given change in the gage resistance, 
the total effective resistance changes slightly less. Accordingly, the 
measured mV/V reading is less than its true value. However, you 
can use shunt calibration to quantify the lead wire desensitization, 
and can then design the software application to correct subsequent 
readings for this gain error. The gain error caused by a lead wire 
equals R
L
/R
G
, where R
L
 is the lead wire resistance, and R
G
 is the 
quarter-bridge completion resistance. 
Shunt Calibration
The NI 9235/9236 shunt calibration circuitry consists of a 
precision resistor and a software-controlled switch, connected 
across the internal quarter-bridge completion resistor. Refer to the 
software help for information about enabling the shunt calibration 
switch for the NI 9235/9236. Each input channel has a unique 
shunt calibration resistor that can operate independently, as shown 
in Figures 5 and 6.
