4.4.4 Strapping Table
The strapping table is a 2-point to 21-point table used by
the Universal III to cause output current to follow specied
relationship to level. There are certain strapping tables
that are already built in to the transmitter software. These
are: Linear (vertical tank); Horizontal Tank with at ends;
Horizontal Tank with dished ends; Horizontal Tank with
hemispherical ends; and Spherical Tank. These predened
tables are automatically created by selections made with
Vessel Cong assignment during Conguration procedure
in Section 4.3.
If output-to-level relationship is not dened by one of these
tables, you may create a table in Strapping Table program.
To create a non-linear relationship, you will need at least 3
points and may use as many as 21 points. A 21-point table
will dene relationship to about a 0.1% accuracy. Common
example for a simple table would be Cone Bottom Vertical
tank which would require 3 points—bottom, straight-
side break point, and top. Open channel ow application,
however, could benet from using all 21 available points.
• Plan your table by lling out form below. You may use
rst column which lists every 5% between 0 and 100%,
or you may ll in your own values in column 2.
• Fill out column 3 with output values corresponding to
those listed in column 1 or 2.
