I think you mean "ovens" ?

Calibrating resistors using AT89C51RD2            01/01/70 00:00      
   The problem is not manufacturing tolerances...            01/01/70 00:00      
      those low drift 0.01% resistors are too expensive.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Now, that you enter into a discussion...            01/01/70 00:00      
            more details            01/01/70 00:00      
               Drift is well documented            01/01/70 00:00      
                  No longer published in todays datasheets...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     thanks that was very useful            01/01/70 00:00      
         You can't calibrate without a reference!            01/01/70 00:00      
            I have a Hioki DMM as a reference            01/01/70 00:00      
               But you said auto-calibration            01/01/70 00:00      
                  No            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Need lots of bits            01/01/70 00:00      
                        good analysis            01/01/70 00:00      
                           what design?            01/01/70 00:00      
               how precise is that?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  50000 counts            01/01/70 00:00      
                     you are making the usual mistake of ....            01/01/70 00:00      
         not just more precise, but lower drift as well            01/01/70 00:00      
   Calibration            01/01/70 00:00      
      can I regularly calibrate?            01/01/70 00:00      
         many issues involved            01/01/70 00:00      
            Then...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Assuming and supposing...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Ok...            01/01/70 00:00      
               How fast? How many bits? How stable input signal?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  more details            01/01/70 00:00      
               More details needed...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  spikes of source could be a problem            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Hhm...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Hard to self-calibrate            01/01/70 00:00      
                           high sampling rate is not for calibration            01/01/70 00:00      
                        It is a constant current source            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Answers and questions...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Answers            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Oh, I think I know what it is...            01/01/70 00:00      
                              That's true            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Difficult!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    since this is about calibrating known resistors ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Too fast for manual change            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    My solution            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       I have seen nothing yet that gives ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          How?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             two screw terminals and a precision resistor            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       What are exactly the shunts you switch?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          currently ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             You should test...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                good idea...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   Well, I suspect...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      don't expect            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         A look into datasheet is always important...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      Both problems            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             Advantages of shunts in series            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                Current scheme...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   How make before break?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      It is parallel like your second scheme.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         Offset voltages?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            Yes            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               Try the following...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  Wht's the difference?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     You should, to find out what's wrong!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        Ok but Isn't it easier to calibrate?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           Yes, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                              Purpose of auto calibration            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 No!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    Did you think about the shunt error during the "make"?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       disadvantages of series scheme            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                          Not really...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                             0.1%            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                Surprise!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                   voltage drop            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                      So low?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                momma! I want it all, but refuse to pay            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                   Wanting to achive a precision of 0.01%...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                      next he will make a perpetuum mobile            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    how true and ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       Precise enough            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                          that MAY be true for VOLTS            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    OK, give me a few days time....            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       Try to avoid it at all!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                          You need a lot of individual precision for 0.1% all-range            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                             Owens            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                Yes            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                             Good discussion but...            01/01/70 00:00
