Variable

Name

Units

Description

V

valve_number

Valve number (0 to 6);

determines which zero/span

valve is selected

V

press_offset

kPa

Sample cell pressure measured

with no flow; used to infer valve

flow

V

valveTctl_ON

Boolean flag: True if valve

module temperature control is

enabled

V

valve_flow

LPM

Zero/span flow

V

valve_tmpr

ºC

Temperature of the valve

module

V, S

scrub_tmpr

ºC

Temperature of the scrub

module

V, S

scrub_press

kPa

Pressure measured at the scrub

pump outlet

buff_depth

Number of scans in the pipeline

buffer that have not yet been

processed (a copy of BuffDepth

from the Status table)

config_history

The user may change the configuration of the CPEC200 program at any time,

as discussed in Section 5.4, Configure the Program. All the configuration

variables and compile switches are written to the

config_history table at

startup, when a configuration variable is changed, and once a day at 15 minutes

past midnight. This provides a historical record to be used as a troubleshooting

aid.

The values stored in table

config_history are shown in TABLE C-5.
