This feature is available in Configuration level in the 2408i indicator by configuring the ‘type of calibration’ (tYPE) in the Input List (iP) to Manual mAn (section 4.5.2). This two point offset applies a straight line fit between the low offset point and the high offset point as shown in the graph below.
Engineering Manual 2408 Indicator 3.6.8 Auto-Tare or Display Zero The auto-tare (display zero) function is used, for example, when it is required to weigh the contents of a container but not the container itself. The procedure is to place the empty container on the weigh bridge and ‘zero’ the controller. Since it is likely that following containers may have different tare weights the auto-tare feature is always available in the indicator at Operator access level.
