In this case, it is necessary to examine the cause of the large variation that occurs under normal 
conditions, and to reduce this effect. Use the following the guidelines for adjustment.
Guidelines for parameter adjustment
Phenomenon Adjustment
The index value sometimes decreases 
significantly under normal operating conditions. 
At this time, the process variable changes or the 
standard deviation becomes large.
Decrease the Press Freq Filter Constant in 
steps of 0.02–0.05.
The index value under normal operating 
conditions changes significantly depending on 
the operating conditions.
Check whether the operating conditions are 
related to the process variable. If there is a 
PV range where the difference between the 
maximum index value and the minimum 
is relatively small, or a PV range where the 
minimum under normal conditions is not 
small, set Press Freq Calc PV High Limit and 
Press Freq Calc PV Low Limit to the values of 
this range.
When these parameters are used, diagnosis 
should be carried out only when there is a 
flow, and should be stopped when the flow is 
stopped. By doing so, diagnosis can be done 
reliably even if the fluid flow is intermittent.
(B) The variation of the index when there is a clog is small.
In this case, although variation in the index is relatively small under normal operating conditions, 
the value of the index is almost the same as with simulated clogging, as shown in the figure below.
