TI2SHUNT - Transducer Interface Shunt
This program is a utility with various functions related to shunts. The SWIFT
system includes the ability to connect a shunt resistor across each of the resistive
bridges in the transducer. This shunt function can be used as a simple verification
that the SWIFT system is working normally. Shunt verification activates the
shunts and compares the results to those recorded during calibration. While this
does not guarantee the transducer is still in calibration, it provides some level of
confidence it is working normally. If the shunt results differ significantly from
those recorded during calibration the SWIFT system should be evaluated for
possible problems.

Example
The Shunt Main Menu options are described in the following paragraphs.
Option 0
Use this option to exit the program.
Option 1
Use this option to read the last measured shunt values, the reference values, and
the shunt status.
Note
The shunt status is not maintained over power cycles, so it is only valid if
the shunt is executed after power is applied. Refer to
The following is typical of what is displayed when this selection is made:
