Zero the Trimmers
After physically turning the trimmers to zero, use the
ZERO
command
to set the correction by trimmers to exactly zero. It is easy to introduce a
small, unwanted correction even if trying to zero the trimmers exactly.
This command eliminates the unwanted correction.

Calibrate Analog Output
Use the
ACAL
command to calibrate the currently active analog output
mode. You must use this command if you change the analog output mode
using the
AMODE
command.
ACAL
<cr>
After you give this command, the analog output of the module is set to
the low limit of the selected output (voltage or current). Measure the
output and enter the measured value. After entering the low limit, you
must measure and enter the high limit also.
Example (analog output in 4 ... 20 mA mode):
>acal
I1 (mA) ? 3.981
I2 (mA) ? 20.002
2.0003 a0
1.1203 a1
0.0000 a2
OK

Example (analog output in 0 ... 1 V mode):
>acal
V1 (V) ? 0
V2 (V) ? 0.998
5.4502 a0
1.6403 a1
0.0000 a2
OK
