Edit User Actuation File

The User Actuation function allows you to define a new sensor range that does not exist in the recorder.
Each User Actuation is stored in a *.ua file separated from the configuration files for easy exporting.
Electrical measures can be matched with engineering units either by a set of segments or a set of
polynomials. Thus, you must create a table defining segments.
A User Actuation file (*.fua) defined with polynomials can be established so that the sensor actuation will
have the same accuracy as the recorder standard ranges.
To create a specific range of sensor:
1. Click on "User Actuation".
2. Click on "Edit User Actuation File" in the main menu to create a specific range of sensor.
3. Enter the actuation file name in the "File name" field
4. The "Sensor type" may be TC, RTD or SPECIAL.
5. The Description textbox is the range name of the sensor that will be displayed by the recorder,
when reading the input range configuration.
6. The grid for electrical and engineering values represents the sensor actuation. Up to 50 pairs of
points can be entered.
- Electric unit: mV, V, mA or Ohm
- Engineering unit: - for TC or RTD sensor: Deg C or Deg F
- for SPECIAL sensor: to be entered
7. The "Cold Junction Correspondence" grid is for TC sensors only.
8. Click on "Check and Draw actuation" to check if data have been correctly entered.
9. Click on "OK" to close and save the actuation file or click on "Cancel" to abort changes and keep
the previous data.
