11.5 Channel Menu
Each ac/ac-LVDT Input channel is configured and calibrated via 
its channel menu. Detailed instructions on operating the instru-
ment in the SETUP Menu mode can be found in “SETUP Menu 
mode” on page 7. A diagram of all menus is located in “Setup 
Menu Reference” on page 77.
11.5.1 OPERATION Sub-Menu
This menu controls the operation of this channel when the instru-
ment is in the RUN mode.
AUTO-ZERO Menu Item
This enables or disables the channel’s automatic zeroing func-
tion. When enabled, the channel will reset its tracking value to 
zero when the tracking value is less than 10 display counts for a 
period of 10 seconds. This removes the effect of slight tempera-
ture shifts in the transducer’s output.
NOTICE
To compensate for the transducer’s initial warm-up shift, the 
auto-zero function operates every 2 seconds during the first 
60 seconds of RUN mode operation.
The two options for this menu item are “ON” and “OFF”. 
FREQ. RESPONSE Menu Item
This sets the frequency response, step response, and resolution 
of the channel according to the table below. The tracking value, 
peak/valley detector values and analog output on this channel 
are all affected. The default value of 016. HERTZ is suitable for 
most applications.

NOTICE
Your particular LVDT may have a lower frequency response 
than the ac-ac LVDT Input channel.
POWER-ON SOURCE  Menu Item
This menu selects which value is displayed by the channel when 
first entering the RUN mode.
The choices are:
• “TRACK” means the live tracking value of the channel. 
• “PEAK” means the highest value of the channel.
• “VALLEY” means the lowest value of the channel.
• “TRACK / PEAK” means the live tracking value and the highest 
value of the channel. (Only available on Model SC3004).
• “TRACK / VALLEY” means the live tracking value and the low-
est value of the channel. (Only available on Model SC3004).
• “PEAK / VALLEY” means the highest and lowest values of the 
channel. (Only available on Model SC3004).
11.5.2 DISPLAY SETUP Sub-Menu
This menu controls how data values are displayed by the channel 
and transmitted via serial communications.
DISPLAY. DIGITS Menu Item
Selects the number of digits displayed by the channel. The 
choices are:
• “5 DIGIT-BIPOLAR” displays both positive and negative num-
berswithvefulldigits(±99999).
• “6 DIGIT-UNIPOLAR” displays positive numbers with six full 
digits (999999) and negative numbers with five full digits 
(-99999).
• “7 DIGIT UNIPOLAR” displays positive number with seven 
full digits (9999999) and negative numbers with six digits 
(-999999).
DISPLAY. DECPT Menu Item
Selects the decimal point location on the channel’s display and 
serial communications output. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons 
to move the decimal point to the right and left.
DISPLAY. COUNT-BY Menu Item
Determines by what value the display increments or decrements. 
This will make the display less sensitive to a noisy signal. The 
choices are:
• “00001” 
• “00002” 
• “00005” 
• “00010” 
• “00020” 
• “00050” 
• “00100” 
• “00200”
