Description Item
This list is available only when a multi-range conditioner is selected
in Conditioner Type.
Adds a new range to the sensor file. Each file can have up to four
ranges. Add
This button is available only when a multi-range conditioner is
selected in Conditioner Type.
Deletes the selected range. Delete
This button is available only when a multi-range conditioner is
selected in Conditioner Type.
Displays the name of the selected range (multi-range conditioners)
or a single range (full-range conditioners). Enter new range name(s)
here. Name
Specifies the selected range’s full-scale minimum and maximum
values. Fullscale Min/Max
Ranges can be asymmetrical as long as Min is less than zero and
Max is greater than zero.
This button is available only when a full-range conditioner is selected
in Conditioner Type. Linearization Data
Click this button to display the Linearization Data window.
Use the Linearization Data window to precisely edit range data points.
The Conditioner Type selected determines these controls. Values
entered here appear in the Station Setup window’s Calibration tab. Calibration Values
Sets the type of calibration used for the feedback signal. Cal Type
The calibration types displayed in this list depend on the conditioner
type selected.
Gain/Delta-K—Select to use delta K for calibration of sensors. Allows
you to specify the amount of delta K applied to the sensor’s output
signal.
Equally negative and positive inputs cause asymmetry in the sensor’s
output signal. Delta K compensates for this asymmetry.
Gain/Linearization—Select to use linearization data for calibration of
sensors with full-range conditioners. This type of calibration allows
use of the Linearization Data window to precisely edit range data
points.
mV/V Pos Tension—Select when a sensor has been calibrated so
that a positive output represents actuator retraction (tension).
mV/V Pos Comp—Select when a sensor has been calibrated so that
a positive output represents actuator extension (compression).
