2.7.3 Analog Gain Setting

The three voltage inputs and four current sensor inputs use the PGA inside the ADS131M08 with a gain setting of 1 by default. SW1 sets the gain for the voltage inputs and SW3 sets the gain for the current sensor inputs. All three voltage channels use the same gain set by SW1. All four current sensors use the same gain set by SW3. To change the gain, move the slide switches shown in Figure 2-4 to the ON position. To set the PGA for a gain of 2, for example, move slide switch 3 to the ON position. The three switch positions provide gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. For the new gain setting to take effect, press the push-button switch SW4 to reset the MSPM0G1506.
