The cable resistance can be a significant factor in the accuracy of the overall measurement. It is very important indeed to consider this point.
Prosig software allows the cable resistance to be entered by the user. Once this resistance has been entered, any calculations or calibrations carried out will be based on the known values of the bridge resistors as well as the resistances of all of the cables.
In most cases this will be negligible except if long cables are used.
