8.2.7. CZ Set Calibration Zero Point
[ SDO 2300 sub 0A ]
This is the reference point for all weight calculations and is subject to TAC control. The calibration will be
terminated with an error message (“ERR“) if the signal is not stable within 10 seconds.
Factory default
: approx. 0 mV/V input signal
Master (PC / SPS) sends
Slave (GLDM 64.1) responds
Meaning

Request: TAC counter CE17

8.2.8. CG Set Calibration Gain (Span)
[ SDO 2300 sub 04 ]
This is the reference point for calibration under load and is subject to TAC control.
Permitted values are from 1 to 999999.
Factory default
: 20000 = 2.000 mV/V input signal
Master (PC / SPS) sends
Slave (GLDM 64.1) responds
Meaning

CG15000
OK
Setup: Calibration weight = 15000 d
For calibrating an input signal near the display maximum (CM) will give the best system performance. The
minimum calibration load of at least 20% are recommended. The calibration will be terminated with an error
message if the signal is not stable within 10 seconds. Or if the input signal difference to the zero-point
calibration is less than approx. ±0.02mV/V then the GLDM
will respond with an error message (“ERR”), too.
8.2.9. ZT Enable / Disable Zero Tracking
[ SDO 2100 sub 12 ]
This command enables or disables the zero tracking. ZT = 0 disables the zero tracking and ZT = 1 or higher
enables the zero tracking. Issuing the command without any parameter returns the current ZT value. Permitted
values are 0 to 255.
Factory default
: ZT = 0 [Disable]
Master (PC / SPS) sends
Slave (GLDM 64.1) responds
Meaning
ZT

Request: ZT status

Calibration sequence active
ZT0
OK
Setup: ZT = Disable
Zero tracking will be performed only on results less than ZT range at a rate of 0.4 d/sec, where d = display step
size (see DS command). The zero can only be tracked to +/- 2% of maximum (see CM n command).
ZT = 1 means ±0.5 d and ZT = 100 means ±50 d
8.2.10. FD Reset to Factory Default Settings
[ SDO 2006 sub 02 ]
This command puts the GLDM 64.1 back to a known state. The data will be written to the EEPROM and the
TAC will be incremented by +1.
Note:
All calibration and setup information will be lost by issuing this command!

FD
OK
Factory default setting
Note for CANbus port
: The command FD does not change any of the CANbus settings after proceeding a FD.
The setting of firmware type FT remains unchanged, too.
