17.10 ZoomingADC™ Benefits
Now that we zoomed on the signal, we can compare the zoom performances with and without the offset
compensation. To make a comparison do as follow:
Without Zoom (gain only)
1. On the graph, set the full scale view: right click on the panel and select Undo All Zoom/Pan option to reset
the display range to the default full scale range.
2. Set the configuration to Gain = 225 & no offset cancellation as in
section.
3. Then blow in the sensor tube (try to make the maximum signal span).
The signal span correspond to 31923–28599 = 3324 bits. The result should look like the picture below:
With Zoom (gain and offset)
Now set the parameters as defined in
result should look like the picture below:
The signal span is 11743–1374=10370 bits which corresponds to a 320% gain on the signal reading
allowing you to have more consistent readings.
