Analog Output Scaling Mode
The analog output module is a standard single channel,
programmable, isolated, 16-bit analog output that can be scaled
to any desired span between –199999 to 999999 display counts
using the analog output scaling mode.
The Analog Output Scaling Mode is a two part mode that
covers both scaling and calibration of the output signal. The
scaling part of the procedure can be changed independently of
the output calibration part and vice versa.
Scaling
Scaling requires setting the zero [ZEro] and full scale [F_SCL]
span parameters of the analog output.
Zero is the display setting at which the analog output is required
to be at its calibrated low output. Full scale is the display setting
at which the analog output is required to be at its calibrated
high output.
There are no limits to the difference between the zero and full
scale settings. The difference can be anywhere between 1
count and the entire display range of the meter.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digit to 25 [CAL] [25X] accesses the
analog output signal span scaling procedure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, one of the following
analog output signals are available for scaling:
• Analog Output 1 [251].
• Analog Output 2 [252].
Calibration of the Analog Output Signal
Calibrating the analog output means ensuring the LOW and
HIGH analog output signals are correct using a calibration
device such as a multimeter. This should not be confused
with calibrating the physical position of the sensor to the
meter (see page 4)!
Calibration requires setting the [CAL_L] and [CAL_h]
parameters. [CAL_L] is used to set the calibrated low analog
output, and [CAL_h] is used to set the calibrated high analog
output. The calibrated low and high outputs can be set
anywhere between –0.3 to 21 mA for current, or –0.3 to 10.5 V
for voltage.
Before calibrating the analog output:
• Select the data source for the selected analog output in Code
1.
• Connect a multimeter to the analog output connector at the rear
of the meter (pin 16 positive, pin 17 negative).
• Make sure the multimeter is set to read the appropriate signal
type: volts or milliamps.
Enter the calibration mode and calibrate the analog output
module.
Setting the 1st and 2nd digits to [15X] selects the analog
output calibration procedure.
By selecting a number in the 3rd digit, one of the following
analog output signals are available for calibration:
• Analog Output 1 [151].
• Analog Output 2 [152].
A step by step procedure that shows an actual example of
how to scale the analog output is shown on page 12 of this
manual.

Note:
Calibration procedures can not be carried out on a
signal (Result, CH1 or CH2) if the signal has an active
linearization table. The table or tables must be disabled
before calibration and then re-activated when calibration
is complete
Calibration Mode (cont.) Zero Options
NULL
The NULL position allows the user to adjust the LVDT core until
the LVDT output is zero. The sensor must be brought to NULL
position before calibrating.
Display Zero and Reset Display Value Function
The controller has been programmed with a display zero and
reset display value function that operates on the selected primary
display reading only.
The display zero function is used to zero the display. Display zero
is initiated from a remote switch (not supplied) connected across
the common and hold pins at the rear of the controller (Terminal
2: Pin 4 Common, Pin 2 Hold).
The reset display value function is used to restore the true
calibrated value on the display. Reset display value is initiated from
a remote switch connected across the common and lock pins at
the rear of the controller (Terminal 2: Pin 4 Common, Pin 1 Lock).
The display zero value and reset display value are not retained
during a power outage.
The display zero and reset display value functions are often used
for cut, measure, and trim applications.
