Shunt Calibration Resistors 101

Interface shunt calibration resistors, known as RCAL Resistors, are an accessory product. A shunt calibration resistor is a resistor that is connected in parallel with a measurement instrument to provide a known resistance value. The purpose of the shunt cal resistor is to calibrate the instrument to accurately measure the current passing through it. Shunt calibration resistors are often used with load cells to improve the accuracy and reliability of their measurements.
