Signal Conditioning Selection (Functn)
The Function menu is used to select the signal conditioning function
applied to the input: linear, square root, or programmable exponent. The
multi-point linearization is part of the linear function selection.
Controllers are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point
linearization. The linear function provides a display that is linear with
respect to the input signal.
Square Root Linearization (Square)
The square root function can be used to linearize the signal from a
differential pressure transmitter and display flow rate in engineering
units.
Programmable Exponent Linearization (Prog E)
The programmable exponent can be used to linearize the signal from
level transmitters in open-channel flow applications using weirs and
flumes.
Multi-Point Linearization (Linear)
Controllers are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point
linearization. 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 with complex exponent.
Low-Flow Cutoff (CutofF)
The low-flow cutoff feature allows the controller to be programmed so
that the often-unsteady output from a differential pressure transmitter, at
low flow rates, always displays zero on the controller.
The cutoff value may be programmed from 0 to 999999. The controller
will display zero below the cutoff value. Programming the cutoff value to
zero disables the cutoff feature.
