7. ADJUSTMENT OF OFFSET AND GAIN
7.1 Change in output characteristic
At shipment, 0 to 4000 range is selected for 0 to 10V DC output.
When using an FX2N-2DA for current or differing voltage output except 0 to 10V DC, it is necessary to
readjust the offset and gain.
The output characteristic can be set for each of the two channels.
Set analog values within the range specified in the table below when changing the output characteristic.
Range of output characteristic
Resolution changes depending on the set value when the output characteristic changes accordingly.
Example: Resolution becomes (5 - 0V)/4000=1.25mV at voltage output 0 to 5V/0 to 4000.
Integrated accuracy does not change. (Voltage output: ± 0.1V, Current output: ± 0.16mA)
7.2 Adjustment of the output characteristic
The adjustment of the offset and gain values sets a digital equivalent to the analog data.
(The “POT” requires 18 revolutions to move between MIN and MAX setting.)
*1 The analog value increases if the volume is turned clockwise.
7.2.1 Adjustment of gain
The gain value can be set to an arbitrary digital value.
However, using the maximum of 12bit resolution provides the user with a full scale analog value.
7.2.2 Adjustment of offset
The offset value in the case of voltage output is 0V. The offset value in the case of current output is 4mA.
However, the offset value can be minutely adjusted if necessary. Set the following when minute
adjustments are necessary.
For instance, when a digital range of 0 to 4000 is used with the analog range of 0 to 10V, a digital value of
40 is equal to an analog output of 100mV, (40 × 10V/4000 digital points). When a digital range of 0 to 4000
is used with the analog range of 4 to 20mA, a digital value of 0 is equal to an analog output of 4mA.
1) Adjust the offset and gain respectively for CH1 and CH2.
2) Repeat offset and gain adjustments until a stable value is obtained.
3) Adjust the gain before the offset.
Voltage output Current output
Analog value when digital value is 0 0 to 1V 4mA
Analog value when digital value is 4000 5 to 10V 20mA
