Input channel zero parameters

  • Zero mode: Select one of the following options.
    • Not applicable: Zeroing is not allowed.
    • Interactive only: Interactive zeroing is allowed.
    • Normal Test Starts: Zeroing is done automatically on every normal test start. Interactive zeroing is allowed.

NOTE
Normal test start is defined as a test started using the web browser user interface, or a test started using the remote control switch when the Remote control run mode is in use. For tests that use the Cyclic test run mode, only the test started in the user interface is applicable; test cycles started automatically after the previous test cycle are not applicable. Tests restarted on power cycles or error resets are not applicable.

  • Zero target: Specify the physical value desired for the zero task. Typically, this is 0.0, but not always. For example, this parameter may be set to 1.0 (g) for an accelerometer that senses the force of gravity. In this example, the zero task would result in the channel data being offset so that the current reading is 1.0.
  • Zero offset: Automatically set after zeroing a channel. The user can edit this, but that is not generally advised.
