Units of independent readings

Linearization

Define the analog input span from this menu location. The Portable FlowShark Pulse
allows you to modify the weighting of the analog input using a 16-digit (maximum)
breakpoint table. When properly used, this feature can introduce some beneficial
options for setting parameters.

For example, you can convert a level/height signal into a volume-proportional signal,
which can be saved, or direct this signal to one of the analog outputs for further
processing or display purposes.

First, simply enter the number of breakpoints and press

. Then, confirm the entry

and press

again. The screen will display a table with the respective units.

Linearization of independent readings

Enter the mA value in the X-column and the other value in the Y-column (Verify the
appropriate unit has been selected before entering these values.).

For typical applications, such as saving a measurement value, simply enter 2 as the
breakpoint value. Then, define the analog input span (i.e., enter the respective values
for 4 mA and 20 mA).

Delay Time

Echo-sounding level (i.e., depth) sensors typically require several seconds to reliably
detect ultrasonic signals. Therefore, specify a time delay from 0 – 20 seconds for this
parameter.
