Bridge Resistance
The bridge resistance of the wheatstone bridge within your sensor.
To find your resistance:
Use a multimeter to determine the resistance across the +Signal and -Signal wires. This value is your bridge resistance. Typical Futek sensors have a bridge resistance of 350, 700 or 1000 Ohms.
Shunt Resistance
The resistance of your shunt calibration resistor in ohms.
Desired Output
The output that you wish to have in mV/V when the shunt resistor is applied.
For example:
You would like to have an output of 20 mV with the shunt resistor and you are exciting your sensor with 10 V, your Desired output would be 20 mV / 10 V = 2.0 mV/V
