Connected Device Information Pane
This pane is always present at the top of the ValveAnalysis window and reports the following informa-
tion:
Device tag name:
The tag name is imported from the device description in AMS.
Device signal source:
Analog: A command signal (normally 4-20 mA) from the host system.
Digital: Control of the device is taken from the host system and given to a digital source. The
digital source could be Flowserve ValveAnalysis, AMS, or a HART handheld. When the user starts
a signature, the device signal source will automatically change the control source from analog to
digital then return to analog when the signature is complete. During the time the device is in digital
mode it will ignore any changes to the analog command signal.
Actuator Action:
