The zero position is not on the exact middle of the range of the knob.
When i unplug the 7-pin connector from the machine and i put a DVM set to check ohms and put it in the pins of the cable, i get the expected action of ohms reading throughout the range of motion of the knob.
This is a chart of my approximate readings that i measured with my DVM:
Do these readings look correct for a 200 DX foot pedal?
I know I don't have a 200DX, but here are some measurements I took from my Super200P's foot pedal which like I've shown earlier, has a knob in it like the 200DX.
(Maybe they'll be useful to you, maybe not?)

PS - I looked for the linked schematic of the pedal electrical system, but it appears to be gone. (I think it was on an image server that went down.)
