Multi-Channel Zero

Zeroing a channel adds an offset, making the pre-run channel value as close as possible to the Prerun zero target. The default zero target is zero.

Click ZERO to offset the readings to the Prerun zero target. The offset is recorded in the Prerun zero offset parameter. Click RESET to clear any previous zero offsets. After zeroing is complete, be sure to save the test setup.

NOTE
It is recommended to select the Use system defined sensor scaling filters option in the System Preferences to minimize the effects of noise on the accuracy of scaling measurements.

There are several options available from the menu:

  • Update rate: Select the rate at which the display refreshes at 1, 2, 5 or 10 times per second. Note that in cases where the channel sample rate is less than the selected update rate, the display refreshes at the lower sample rate.
  • Control: Open the Shunt Control dialog. This is not available for all channel types.

NOTE
For the meter to show accurate readings, the system starts a background test run for the duration of the digital display. No other digital displays or test runs can be started.

NOTE
MX modules output overflow values when no suitable connector is found. This is represented by a series of "+" characters on the display.
