GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS
The gain and offset adjustments are made with external
potentiometers which the user supplies. With the appropriate
digital inputs applied, these potentiometers are adjusted until
the desired output voltage is obtained. The proper connec-
tions for offset and gain are shown in Figure 4. The volt-
meter used to measure the output should be capable of stable
resolution of 1/4LSB in the region of zero and full scale.
Because of the interaction berween offset and gain adjust-
ments, the adjustment procedure described below should be
carefully followed. Offset adjustment affects gain, but gain
adjustment does not affect offset.

For unipolarmode, apply a digital input of all "1's" (com-
plementarybinary code for zero ourpur) and adjustthe offset
potentiometeruntil a 0.00000V ourput is obtained (see
Table I). Once the appropriate
offset adjustmenrhasbeen
made,apply a digital input of all "0's". Adjust the gain
potentiometeruntil the plus full scale
output is obtained
(see
TableI).
For bipolarmode,apply a digitalinput of all "L's" (comple-
mentary offset binary codefor minus full scale)and adjustthe
offset potentiometerfor the proper minus full scaleoutput
voltage(seeTable I). Oncethe appropriate
