Trim Registers

The Analog Input Module contains six Digital-to-Analog converters (DACs) that control various trim adjustments on the S16A. The analog input and output signals can be level-shifted, and the input signal gains can be fine-tuned with these DACs. These trim DACs are controlled by six 8-bit trim registers. These trim registers are set with the D command, described in Analog Input Module Control Protocol beginning on page 34.

As Analog Input Module registers, these registers are accessed via the UART registers.

Trim Register	Use
2	controls the output trim for analog I/O channel 0
3	controls the output trim for analog I/O channel 1
4	controls the input gain trim for analog I/O channel 0
5	controls the input offset for analog I/O channel 0
6	controls the input gain trim for analog I/O channel 1
7	controls the input offset for analog I/O channel 1

Trim Output Offset Registers

These two trim registers control a voltage offset for the output of each analog I/O channel. Trim register 2 controls the output trim for analog I/O channel 0; trim register 3 controls the output trim for channel 1.

The recommended procedure for adjusting these output trim registers is to first adjust one of the analog I/O channels’ input offset to be zero-calibrated by configuring its input to be ground and adjusting its input offset while monitoring the input data for zero. After setting up one of the analog I/O channels as a calibrated input, reconfigure the analog I/O channel input to monitor the analog I/O channel output in question. Finally, with all zeros for the output data, adjust the output trim until zeros are read in the input channel.
