Builds the linear calibration that turns a strain gauge bridge's amplified output
voltage into microstrain.
The bridge output is raw / gain volts, or 1000 * raw / (excitation * gain) mV/V,
and the gauge certificate's factor converts mV/V to µε. Subtracting the reading at
rest gives:

The bridge output is
raw / gainvolts, or1000 * raw / (excitation * gain)mV/V, and the gauge certificate's factor converts mV/V to µε. Subtracting the reading at rest gives:µε = factor * 1000 * (raw - zero) / (excitation * gain)so
a = factor * 1000 / (excitation * gain)andb = -a * zero.
