4.2.1 Auto zeroing
To start the auto zero-procedure by digital operation two parameters should be written:
Control Mode

Idle
Auto-zero procedure:
Step 1: Set ‘Control Mode’ to ‘Calibration Mode’ (value 9)
Step 2: Set ‘Calibration Mode’ to ‘Auto zero’ (value 9)
Step 3: Check ‘Calibration Mode’,
Idle (value 0)
Auto-zeroing succeeded
Auto zero (value 9)
Auto-zeroing active
Error (value 255)
Auto-zeroing failed
4.2.2 Changing default control mode
Instruments are delivered with either analog or digital signal as default, depending on customer’s requirement. After
every (power-up) reset the instrument will return to its default control mode. The default control mode can be
changed with the following parameter:
IOStatus

0xF258…0xF259/62041…62042
Bit 6 [7…0] represents the former analog jumper.
1 = default control mode is analog
0 = default control mode is digital
Procedure for changing default digital operation to default analog operation:
•
Read ‘IOStatus’
•
Add 64 to the read value
