Calibrate Your Module

3. Initiate a write to the module with the appropriate value in the EDT

command location (write word 3, bits 00…15), as shown above.

4. Monitor the EDT response location (read word 11 bits 00…15) for an

echo of the EDT command. Depending on which command you sent, it
should show 241X Hex.

If the EDT response word reads 80FF (hex), repeat the step 3. Make
sure that sufficient time is allowed for the module to respond to your
request. If there is no change, calibration has failed. Check the wiring
and try again.

5. Set the precision millivolt source to the value required for a gain of 2.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for gain 2. Repeat for each gain setting.

6. When all offset calibrations are successful, proceed to the gain

calibration.

Gain Calibration

After completing the offset calibration, proceed with the gain calibration.

1. Connect a precision millivolt source across each input channel. Set the

source to 320.00 mV for a gain of 1. Connect all (L) signal terminals
together and attach to the positive lead from the precision voltage
source. Connect all (-) signal terminals together and attach to the
negative lead.
