5.1.4
TARE
Function:
Tares, or sets the display ZERO value.
Summary:
When this command is issued, the current ADC value, is retained as the
currently defined ZERO output value. All output values are referenced to this
value.
Example:
TARE

5.1.5
GAIN
Function:
Sets (returns) input amplifier gain
Summary:
Sets (returns) the input amplifier gain. This is used to compensate for different
load cell impedances, and re-scaling of device input gain. Valid gains are 1, 2,
4, 8, 16, 32 and 64. Factory default is 64.
Example:
GAIN 32

5.1.6
SPS
Function:
Sets (returns) ADC sample rate
Summary:
Sets (returns) the currently selected number of ADC samples/second.
Remember! Accuracy increases with fewer samples/second, so always choose
the slowest rate your application can tolerate. Valid samples rates/second are:
7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, 960, 1920, 3840. Factory default is 120
5.1.7
CAL
Function:
Sets (returns) calibration type
Summary:
Sets or returns the currently selected calibration type. Acceptable values are:
1. m for milliVolt calibration
2. 2 for 2 point calibration
Example:
CAL m
← (sets mV calibration mode)
