5.6.3 ZERO/SPAN CALIBRATION
Zero/span calibration is used to compensate fine deviation in the measured signals. Field adjustments are performed
by applying actual input signals.
An offset is given to the signal by Zero calibration, and the signal gain is changed by Span calibration.
Calibration examples are given below.
ZERO & SPAN CALIBRATION
- Span (+) and Span (–) calibrations must have another calibration point (Zero or Span).
- Calibration points must be in relation to each other as follows: Span (–) point < Zero point < Span (+) point.
Otherwise the calibration will result in error.
- Switching the channel’s analog input type will reset the calibrated values.
