Custom algorithm prompts

Table 4-7 describes the custom algorithm prompts. See Table 4-2 for additional prompts. These
prompts appear only if CUSTOM INPUT is enabled under FEATURES. See Section 0.

Table 4-7 Custom Algorithm Prompts

Prompt

Range/Selections

Definition

INPUT SIGNAL

EMF, TC, or RTD.

Selects the input hardware.

RJ ENABLE

Select YES for reference junction
compensation, NO for no
compensation.

Reference junction
compensation.

EMISSIVITY ENABLE

Select YES for emissivity
compensation for emf input.

Emissivity compensation for
emf input.

Xn

Yn

You must input at least 2 coordinates.
X must increase by at least 0.00001.
Y values are not limited except in the
following 2 cases.

1. If the incoming signal is from a
thermocouple and reference junction
compensation is on, make sure that
a, b, and c are all true.

a) All Y's are increasing or all are

decreasing.

b) Y range includes 0-65°C.

c) Temperature units are °F, °C, K,

or °R.

2. If Online adjustment of the value is
desired, make sure that all Y's are
increasing or all are decreasing.

Use these prompts to plot a
curve of up to 20 points, where
Xn is the incoming signal in

the electrical units selected
and Yn is its corresponding

value in the temperature units
selected. Interpolation is
straight-line.

ELECTRICAL UNITS

MV, OHMS, VOLTS

Units of the electrical signal.

LAG

0 seconds or OFF

LAG is a time constant applied
to the input measurement
value. This provides digital
filtering (LAG) to the
measurement.

Lag appears on menu only if
EXPANDED INPUT is enabled
under Enable Features in the
Program menu.

SAMPLE HOLD

OFF, discrete parameter, 0, 1

Holds Input. The input value is
measured normally when this
discrete is OFF(0) and holds
its last value when the discrete
is ON(1).

Hold appears on menu only if
EXPANDED INPUT is enabled
under Enable Features in the
Program menu.

Press Menu when entries are complete. At the prompt "PRESS ENTER TO SAVE", press Enter to save
your changes, or press Menu again to exit the session without saving the changes.
