Shunting branch R3 instead of R4 to simulate a tensile load gives:
Now that we know how to calculate the theoretical offset on the Wheatstone
bridge output when one of the branch resistances is changed with a known
value, we can compare it with the measured value and get the Gain Adjustment
Factor:
Multiplying each measured values by the “Gain Adjustment Factor” gives us cal-
ibrated measurements.
