I´ve just got my Legato I/V and did realize there are no instructions on how to setup the VR1 and VR2 multi-turn trimmers and their proper values.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

best regards
Pepe

sorry but I cannot follow...
1. the manual says 0 V dc at input...
???
2. You say about measuring AVCC at BII...How?
3. Then check the BII outputs...
check what if there's DC ?
4. All these apply also for SE users?

thanks...
let's see

1. We do this with both units on and stacked?
2. measure each to gnd...
3. devide ...(should they be equal?)
4. measure at what points while adjusting VR's

sorry you do help....but I feel I have some more way to go...Drool

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. They are (within the margin). I guess, you will measure 3.4v at AVCC points, and you will adjust to 1.7v at input.
4. At inputs of the Legato.

yes but when they are stacked the output of the BII doesn't become the input of the legato?
So what's the point? Aren't they forced to be equal?

the legato's inputs are +/-/gnd
where should we check for 1.7? + and gnd ?

"+ to GND" and "- to GND" will always be equal, so you can just measure "+ to GND" and trim it to 1.7 V

I have tried timing both unconnected and connected and to makes no difference. The Legato forces the DC offset of the BII to whatever you adjust it to.

hmmm
it seems to be more clear now...
Do you think there would be any harm done to the unit if they are not set correctly ?
(I mean I don't know if the initial settings of the VR pots will have any crazy values)

The AVCC will not change when you adjust vr1/vr2.

The voltage at +/- input will.

I don't know if I did something wrong
but
when I first set the VR's so that the input reads 0
then it still reads 0 and I have to take it all the way to 1.75

So what is the point of setting it to 0 in the first place?

the legato BII combo plays just fine..but I don'tknow what I have adjusted

If you can obtain 1.7v at input of the Legate you're good to go.

look
I have 3.54 on avcc.
So I set them to 1.77
but...
since I set them initially to 0, when I mounted the buff it still showed 0.
So I took them to 1.77.
What is the point of setting them to 0 if in the end they have to go to 1.77?

Just to ensure your initial setting. If you had made an error assembling Legato board and the inputs was at -15V - your BII now would have been upset.

You have done it just right.
