Variable
Name

Description
V
valve_number
Valve number (0 to 6);
determines which zero/span
valve is selected
V
press_offset
kPa
Sample cell pressure measured
with no flow; used to infer valve
flow
V
valveTctl_ON
Boolean flag: True if valve
module temperature control is
enabled
V
valve_flow
LPM
Zero/span flow
V
valve_tmpr
ºC
Temperature of the valve
module
V, S
scrub_tmpr
ºC
Temperature of the scrub
module
V, S
scrub_press
kPa
Pressure measured at the scrub
pump outlet
buff_depth
Number of scans in the pipeline
buffer that have not yet been
processed (a copy of BuffDepth
from the Status table)
config_history
The user may change the configuration of the CPEC200 program at any time,
as discussed in Section 5.4, Configure the Program. All the configuration
variables and compile switches are written to the
config_history table at
startup, when a configuration variable is changed, and once a day at 15 minutes
past midnight. This provides a historical record to be used as a troubleshooting
aid.
The values stored in table
config_history are shown in TABLE C-5.
