Gain Calibration

Calibrating gain requires that you apply +10.00000V across each input channel.

To calibrate the gain of an input, proceed as follows:

NOTE: Normally, all channels are calibrated simultaneously (decimal bits
08015, octal bits 10-17 of word 37 are 0). To disable calibration on any channel,
set (1) the corresponding bit 08-15 decimal (10-17 octal) of word 37.

1.

Apply +10.00000V across each input channel as shown in Figure 6.2.

2.

After the connections stabilize, request the gain calibration by setting bit
01 in BTW word 37 and sending a block transfer write (BTW) to the
module. Refer to Table 6.A.

When the BTW is sent, all channels are calibrated to +10.00000V.

3.

Queue BTRs to monitor for gain calibration complete and any channels
which may not have calibrated successfully.
