term<br />

This <strong>for</strong>mula <strong>for</strong> the series resistors case is interesting<br />

because it shows that if R5 = R6, Vs is nearly the same as if<br />

R5 = R6 = 0. This fact allows a batch of transducers with<br />

variations in natural loaded outputs to be trimmed with<br />

series resistors to a standard output and all will have a<br />

similar Vs.<br />
