Calibration for the Digital Input
This procedure shows you how to calibrate the Digital Input for the VX4101A
MultiPaqtInstrument. You must calibrate the instrument for both a 2.5 VDC
and 12 VDC threshold.
It is assumed the module has completed its power-on self test. For information
on specific commands or syntax, please review the Syntax and Commands
section.
You must hook up the external source to Discrete Input 1 and program the
Digital Output excitation to other than external and make sure that Digital
Output 1 is programmed for an inactive (high) output.
You need the following equipment to calibrate the Digital Input:
HExternal voltage sources of 2.500.001 VDC and 12.00.001 VDC
1 Year
Before you begin the calibration procedure, you should understand the follow-
ing:
HThe Digital Output instrument uses the same pins as the Digital Input, so
you must reset Digital Output 1 used by the Digital Input to ensure that it is
inactive.
To prepare instrument for calibration, do the following:
1. Program the Digital Output excitation for other than external and program
Digital Output 1 inactive (high).
2. Connect the external voltage source to Digital Input 1.
3. Send the following command to select the Digital Input as the active
instrument:
