In order to successfully calibrate an analog input module’s
input range, a proper calibration input signal should be
connected to the analog input module before and during the
calibration. (See also Chapter 8, Calibration)

perform auto calibration and ranging after it received a Span
Calibration command. During this interval, the module can not
be addressed to perform any other actions.
