Cal Mode Sel: Writing a one (1) in this field sets the calibration system to calibrate voltage. Writing a zero (0) in this field sets the calibration system to calibrate current. This bit controls a relay that requires approximately 5 mS to change states.

Cal Mux En: Writing a one (1) in this field enables the Cal Mux. Writing a zero (0) in this field disables the Cal Mux.

Cal Mux Chan Address: The address of the channel selected is written to this field. The channel address, expressed in hexadecimal, has values from 016 through F16 corresponding to channels 1 through 16, respectively. This field only has effect when the Cal Mux En field is set to one (1).

A/D Scale: This bit changes the A/D scaling. When set to 0, normal A/D scaling is used. When set to 1, A/D scaling is divided by 13.7. This bit is used by self-test to test gain and offset DACs.

Configuration: When the module is configured as an 8-channel DAC, all bits in this field are set to one (1). When the module is configured as a 16-channel DAC, all bits in this field are set to zero (0).

Terminal: This field returns information about the terminal module.

Note The Terminal bits reflect the state of the of the TERMINAL ID 1, TERMINAL ID 2, and TERMINAL ID 3 lines in the output connector. If you are not using the screw-type terminal module, these bits may be set to any value desired by shorting the line to ground. Refer to the diagram on page 30 for the line locations.
