Zero Check
Figure 6-3 shows the configuration of the input amplifier
with zero check enabled. With zero check enabled, relay
switch KllO opens forcing the input current to common

amplifier offset is seen at the output (VOW&
With zero check disabled (relay switch KllO closed), the
input current is simply applied to the (-) input of the am-
plifier as previously shown in Figure 6-Z.

resistor is located between the (+) input and common as
shown in Figure 6-4. This allows a trimpot CR1981 to be
used as a coarse adjustment for input offset voltage. Any
remaining offset is canceled when the operator performs
zero correction from the front panel or over the bus.
The offset voltage trimpot is set at the factory and should
not be adjusted unless a component in that circuit is re-
placed. Refer to the troubleshooting information in para-
graph 7.7 ifit becomes necessary to adjust offset voltage.
