142 DataSite Flow Configuration Utility (DS FloConfig)
To obtain the P, T, or DP data from a HART instrument, first you need to use
the HART function in DS FloConfig. You need to know the commands for
reading the engineering values, so that you can store the returned engineering
values into registers. For more information on this, see
If the HART instrument cannot provide engineering values directly, you can
do the following calculation to get the values of k and b:
k = (Hi - Lo)/(Hi0 - Lo0)
b = Lo - Lo0*k
Follow these steps to get the values of k and b calculated by DS FloConfig.
1.
Click Auto Cal.
The Engineering Conversion dialog box appears.
2.
Enter the values of Lo0, Hi0, Lo, and Hi in the dialog box.
3.
Click OK.
The values of k and b are calculated by DS FloConfig and are displayed.
