When using a 3-wire configuration, the module compensates for resistance
error due to lead wire length. For example, in a 3-wire configuration, the
module reads the resistance due to the length of one of the wires and assumes
that the resistance of the other wire is equal. If the resistances of the individual
lead wires are much different, an error may exist. The closer the resistance
values are to each other, the greater the amount of error that is eliminated.
