Programming the Meter (prog)
It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding
to program the meter:
•
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in
milliamps and volts depending on the input selection. The
calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
• Use the
Scale
menu to scale the process input (e.g. 4-20 mA). A
calibrated signal source is not needed to scale the meter.
• Use the
Calibrate
menu to apply a signal from a calibrator or a
flowmeter.
The Program menu contains the Scale and the Calibrate menus for
channels A & B.
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any display value
within the range of the meter.
Note:
The Scale and Calibrate functions are exclusive of each other.
The meter uses the last function programmed. Only one of these
methods can be employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate functions
can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The number of points should be
set in the Advanced menu under the Multi-Point Linearization (Linear)
menu selection prior to scaling and calibration of the meter, see page
75 for details.
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any display value
within the range of the meter.
