2.3.1  RANGE

The RANGE knob adjusts the signal gain of the Model 1825-C.  It has twelve
positions covering 6 decades of signal gain.  Intermediate gain positions only
change the full scale reading of the analog display and do not effect either the
digital display or the analog output. Turn the RANGE knob clockwise (counter
clockwise) to decrease (increase) signal gain. The RANGE positions 1 thru 12
with position 1 being the furthest CCW postion, are illustrated in the figure on
page ix.

2.3.2  ZERO

This knob will adjust the display and analog output values down to zero.  It is
used to zero the display to remove the effects of ambient signals before
making a measurement.  The ZERO function has the capability of offsetting
signals over a 5 decade range. Turn the ZERO knob CW to 

decrease 

the

negative (offsetting) signal that is injected.

Always use the ZERO knob to eliminate ambient and/or offset signals to insure
accurate readings.
