7.1 General information
This section describes the steps you will need to follow to perform a mea
surement with MGCplus. At the beginning of each section an example ex
plains the transducer-specific details for adapting the amplifier modules. Af
ter you have adapted the amplifier modules you can start with the
measurements. Other functions such as limit switches and peak-value
memory are described in
è section 8 "Additional functions", page 191 .
Steps to adjust the measurement chain
1. Transducer-specific settings Bridge type, bridge excitation voltage,
sensitivity, gage factor.
2. Settings for signal conditioning Zero balance, zero drift, tare value, filter
settings.
3. Display-specific settings; unit, decimal places, display range, step.
4. Settings of the analog output: Gross, Net, Peak value, Output
characteristics.
There are two ways to adjust the zero point and measurement range:
S By entering the given transducer characteristics
S By calibration with direct loading
