Reading Configuration (If Process was selected) INPUT/READING (SCALE AND OFFSET) SUBMENU: Input Voltage or Current can be converted or scaled into values appropriate for the process or signal being measured. So, a reading may be displayed, for example, in units of weight or velocity instead of in amperes or volts. The instrument determines Scale and Offset values based on two user-provided input values entered with the corresponding readings.
Conversion number is a coefficient of conversion between input values and real full display range (10000 counts). See Table 3.2 below for proper conversion number. Table 3.2 Conversion Table RANGE CONVERSION NUMBER 100 mV 10000 / (100 x 1) = 100 10000 / (1000 x 1) = 10 10 V 10000 / (1000 x 10) = 1...
