  • Page 102: Calibrating An Analog Input Channel

    Appendix Optional Analog Input Software Calibration This appendix helps you calibrate an analog input channel using software offsets to increase the expected accuracy of an analog input circuit. Examples of equations and a ladder diagram are provided for your reference. A software calibration reduces the offset error and gain error at a given temperature by scaling the values read at calibration time.
