Output Parameters Explained

Table 5

Parameters Supported by GMW90 Series

Parameter Symbol

Unit(s)

Description

Carbon

dioxide

CO2

ppm

Concentration of carbon dioxide

gas (CO

2

).

Temperature T

°C

°F

Temperature in Celsius or

Fahrenheit scale.

Relative

humidity

RH

%

Ratio of the partial pressure of

water vapor in the air to the

saturation vapor pressure of air

at the current temperature.

Dewpoint

Td

°C

°F

Temperature at which the water

vapor in the air will condense into

water at the current pressure.

Dewpoint

Tdf

°C

°F

Same as Td, except when the

dewpoint is below 0 °C, the

transmitter outputs frostpoint (Tf)

instead of dewpoint.

Dewpoint

depression

dTd

°C

°F

Difference between ambient

temperature and dewpoint (Tdf).

Wet bulb

temperature

Tw

°C

°F

The minimum temperature that

can be reached by evaporative

cooling in the current conditions.

Absolute

humidity

a

g/m3

gr/ft3

Quantity of water in a cubic meter

(or cubic foot) of air.

Mixing ratio x

g/kg

gr/lb

Ratio of water vapor mass per

kilogram (or pound) of dry air.

Enthalpy

h

kJ/kg

btu/lb

Sum of the internal energy of a

thermodynamic system.

NOTE

All of these parameters are visible and selectable using the service port

(serial line and MI70 indicator use) even if your transmitter model does

not have a humidity sensor. However, the transmitter will not show any

measurement results for parameters that it cannot measure or calculate.
