To change the bargraph display parameters
select 'bAr' from the main menu and press

P

which will reveal if the BA326C is programmed
to display a column 'Col' or a single segment
'SEg'. The setting can be changed by pressing
the

Up

or

Down

buttons. Pressing

P

again will

show if the BA326C is programmed to display
the input current on both bargraphs 'dUAL' or
on just the left hand bargraph 'SnGL'.

Again

pressing the

Up

or

Down

buttons will change

the setting.

At any point in the procedure

pressing the

E

button will return the instrument

to the main programme menu.

Calibration using an external
current source:   CAL

This function enables the zero and span of the
digital display to be adjusted using an external
calibrated current source. When used with an
accurate traceable current source this is the
preferred method of calibration.

The analogue

bargraph is

automatically

calibrated when the digital display is calibrated,
therefore

no

separate

adjustments

are

required.

Fig 7 shows the analogue display

resulting

from

various

digital

display

calibrations.

To calibrate the indicator select 'CAL' from the
main menu and press

P.

The indicator will

display 'ZErO' which is a request for a 4mA
input current.

Adjust the external current

calibrator to 4.000mA and again press

P

which

will reveal the current zero display. Each digit,
except the dummy zero if activated, of the
indicator display can be changed by pressing

Up

or

Down

buttons. When the first digit is

correct pressing

P

will transfer control to the

next digit.

When all the digits have been

adjusted, press

E

to enter the new zero. The

indicator will display 'Ent' for a few seconds
while the information is being stored in
memory, and will then return to the 'ZErO'
prompt.

To adjust the digital display at 20mA, press the

Up

button which will cause the indicator to

display 'SPAn'. Adjust the external current
calibrator to 20.000mA and again press

P

which will reveal the existing full scale display.
Each digit of the indicator display, except the
dummy zero if activated, can be changed by
pressing the

Up

or

Down

buttons. When the

first digit is correct pressing

P

will transfer

control to the next digit. When all the digits
have been adjusted press

E t

o enter the new

span. The indicator will display 'Ent' for a few
seconds while the information is being stored
in memory, and will then return to the 'SPAn'
prompt. Finally press

E

again to return to the

main menu.
