Bar Graph Display
This is the default display on power-up. It provides a system overview
by displaying a deviation bar graph for each loop. Loop status including
acknowledged alarms, manual or auto are also displayed.
The upper display shows the Bar Graph for each loop.
The highest and lowest level of the Bar Graph display are the upper and
lower deviation alarms. If deviation alarms are Off, the display range is
+5% of setpoint. The intermediate levels are linearly spaced between
the upper and lower limits.
The lower display shows each loop’s status. The table below shows the
