Control parameters of the positioner
Usethisfunctiontosettheparametersforthepositioner(deadbandandamplicationfactors(kp)).
Deadband: Insensitivity range of the positioner
Entry for the deadband as a % in reference to the scaled stroke range;
i.e. stroke limit maximum - stroke limit minimum (see auxiliary function stroke limit (X.LIMIT)).
