Chapter 5 Programming
At any point, if you exit the Points programming menu after having made any changes, (repeatedly pressing
exit) you will be prompted with a message “keep setup?”. If you select NO at this time, any changes you have
just made will be lost. If you choose YES, the changes you made will be applied to the point.
5.6.5 Programming Parameters
Once a point type is selected, the following programming parameters may be available:
Parameters for Live Inputs (Voltage/Current, Thermocouples and RTDs):
Point Tag
Input Scale
Output Scale
Decimal fix
Currents
Filter
Compensation
Span/Offset
Alarms
Chart Scale
Parameters for Calculated, Conditional and External Point Types:
Basepoint
Reset Control
Time Period
Gate Control
Flow Rate
Low Cutoff
Set Equation
Set Cndtionl
Timeout
Each of above parameters is described in the following paragraphs:
5.6.5.1 Point Tag
A Point Tag is a name used to identify the point on the display or recorded file. It may be up to ten
characters long of which only eight display on the screen. The point tag appears on the bar graphs and
Digital displays. To program a point tag use the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Point tag” on
the above menu and press ENTER.
The display will show the existing Point Tag if any as “ ÎPOINT TAG Í“. Use the Alphanumeric keypad
to enter up to ten characters for desired Point Tag then press ENTER to return to the Point Setup Menu.
5.6.5.2 Input Scale
Low and high input scale is used for configuring the Recorder for the actual input provided by the
transducer. If the input range full scale, e.g. 12.5V, exceeds the actual input signal, say 5V, only half the
input range is actually used. By adjusting the Input scale setting to be 0 to 5V, the entire input range is
used for 5V. Note that the resolution is halved. Only voltage inputs require setting low and high input range
values.
NOTE: During point programming, input range voltages are programmed in the same engineering units as
the voltage range selected, i.e. mV or Volts.
