Zero

Zero is otherwise identified as Offset. It relates to the proportional output to the sensor input.

Zero Adjustment

The ability to adjust the display of a process or strain meter so that zero on the display corresponds to a non-zero signal, such as 4 mA, 10 mA, or 1 V dc.

Zero Offset

The difference expressed in degrees between true zero and an indication given by a measuring instrument. See Zero Suppression

Zero Suppression

The span of the SGA can be offset from zero (zero suppressed) such that neither limit of the span will be zero. For example, an SGA which measures a load of a 100kg span from 400kg to 500kg° is said to have 400kG zero suppression.
