Bias Voltage Check
The Bias Voltage Check enables your instrument to warn you of errors or
fault conditions (e.g. short-circuits, faulty sensors, or open-circuits). Your
instrument achieves this by comparing the actual sensor bias voltage
with the expected voltage range (as configured on your instrument).
Most accelerometers have an output voltage centered on 12 V DC.
Consequently your instrument has a default bias voltage range of 8-16V.
Some sensors use a lower or higher bias voltage. If you are using a
sensor like that, review the manufacturer's documentation and create a
new Bias Voltage range according to your requirements.
