Process status 
Definitions 
The process status (see below) provides information on measurement values 
and the process being monitored by the analyzer. 
System status (see page 318) provides information on the gas analyzer itself. 
Process status 
The term "process status" includes 
•  Transgression of measuring range limits 
•  Transgression of limit values 
by the measured values. 
Transgression of measurement range limits 
If a sample component value is > +130 % or < −100 % of the span, the meas-
ured value in the display flashes. A status message is also generated in each 
case; these messages will not be entered into the logbook. 
The thresholds established cannot be changed. 
Transgression of limit values 
If a measured value is above or below a limit value, this status is output as a 
binary signal at one of the digital outputs.   
Two prerequisites must be met to this effect: 
•  The limit value must be assigned (see page 181) to a digital output by 
means of function block configuration. 
•  The limit value monitoring parameters (direction of effect, threshold 
value, hysteresis) must be set (see page 162). 
The assignment of limit values to certain digital outputs is factory-set; this 
is documented in the analyzer data sheet.
