Application
Input Signal Conditioning
Live Input Calibration
In lieu of meter scaling, the meter can be calibrated with a precision signal source. While applying a precision signal, the relative scale value is entered via the front panel. This is done at any two points along the scale. Using this method, the operator can set a “best fit straight line” for non-linear input spans.
Multi-Point Linearizer
Up to 32 linearization points can be selected under the Linear function. The multi-point linearization can be used to linearize the display for non-linear signals such as those from level transmitters used to measure volume in odd-shaped tanks or to convert level to flow using weirs and flumes that require a complex exponent. These points are established via direct entry (SCALE) or with an external calibration signal (CAL).
Square Root Extraction
The square root extraction function displays flow rate by extracting the square root from a differential pressure transmitter signal. The user selectable low-flow cutoff feature gives a reading of zero when the flow rate drops below a user selectable value.
Programmable Exponent
The programmable exponent function is used to linearize the level signal in open channel flow applications using weirs and flumes and display flow rate and units of measure.
