HPAD Settings
You can change the default HPAD scaling here, to improve live load resolution or to
make a somewhat overloaded 3 mV/V load cell operational. Use in conjunction with the
HPAD Diagnostics screen, page 56.
CAL
This value is used by the HPAD Converter to simulate load on the load cell during an
Electronic Calibration, and is normally zero. A non-zero setting will inject a positive load
cell signal before the A/D converter. The injected signal is 0.2 mV/V times the setting. In
the rare occasion of negative dead load, non-zero value can be entered.
ZERO
This value is used by the HPAD Converter to electronically remove dead load from the
load cell signal. This allows the HPAD to operate at a higher Gain and achieve better
resolution when measuring the load cell signal. A non-zero setting will inject a negative
