When the Lead Wire Resistance button is clicked, the system runs both Up scale and Down scale shunt experiments using the smallest shunt resistor available (i.e., the nominal 50K Ohm resistor for all legacy eDAQ layer channels) to optimize calculation accuracy.
Based on the assumptions of equal and correctly defined resistance for all bridge legs, equal resistance for all applicable lead wires, and exact signal conditioner calibration, the lead wire resistance values are computed.
Check the box to accept the calculated Average (new) lead wire resistance value for each channel.
If a box is not checked, the Average (new) calculated lead wire resistance value will not be used to replace the Current Leadwire Ohms value (shown in the Edit channel dialog).
Click OK to apply changes; otherwise, click Cancel.
