Instruction Manual
MACV-1 and MACI-1 — Analog Outputs
The MACV-1 and MACI-1 Controllers offer two independent analog outputs. See
Figure 5-9.
For Analog Output #1 and Analog Output #2, each output is assigned to one of six
analysis modes, which are selected via the Edit PSF Screen of the supplied software.
Once the Analysis Mode Selection is specified for Meas1 and Meas2, the Analog
Output can specified via the Analog Output choices. The analysis mode is selected
as Meas1, Meas2, or Disabled. The Disabled option means the output is not utilized.
Meas1 and Meas2 reflect the choices provided with the Analysis Mode Selection. The
Scan # provides a means to average from 1 to 9 scans before the analog output gets
updated. The Invert option changes the output from a rising signal to a falling signal.
Null/Span Adjustment
The user can adjust both the zero and full-scale reading for both analog outputs of
MACV-1 and MACI-1 Controllers. This adjustment is implemented via the Edit PSF
screen Null/Span button, which activates the Null/Span menu (Figure 5-12).
Figure 5-12. Null/Span Menu
The Null/Span menu causes the controller to temporarily respond to scaling
adjustments. The Null and Span ranges can be adjusted as follows:
Each output’s Null and Span is independently adjusted via the separate sliding bars.
When the adjustments are made, the new values can be temporarily monitored by
selecting either the Null Update or Span Update button. The OK button saves the
new settings and instructs the controller to resume normal operation. Clicking the
Cancel button disregards any Null/Span adjustments and causes the controller to
resume normal operation with the the previously saved null and span settings.
The MAC controller has a four-minute Null/Span time-out feature that causes the
controller to leave the Null/Span adjustment procedure when neither the Null Update
nor the Span Update functions are accessed. When this time-out condition occurs, the
MAC controller automatically cancels the Null/Span adjustment procedure and returns
to the previously saved settings.
