2.4.20. LDW: Calibrate Zero Dead Weight
This command is used to calibrate the zero dead weight. It is possible to calibrate
the zero dead weight by either having no load on the scale base or by entering the
calculated signal directly.

The LDW?1; query returns the zero value in mV/V.
• Calibration with Weight
Due to increased averaging, this calibration process takes some time to complete.
As a result it is necessary to monitor the calibration process to determine when it is
finished. To do this, issue a LDW?; query. Following is a list of possible responses.

0 Calibration finished successfully
1 Calibration in process (busy)
101 Error Zero to high (>2mV/V) Calibration aborted
102 Error Zero to low (<–2mV/V) Calibration aborted
