Temperature Measurement Unit specifies the unit that will be used for temperature measurement.
Procedure
Set Temperature Measurement Unit to the option you want to use.
• Default: °C (Celsius)
Options for Temperature Measurement Unit
The transmitter provides a standard set of units for Temperature Measurement Unit. Different
communications tools may use different labels for the units.

Temperature Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to temperature data from the
sensor. Temperature Damping is not applied to external temperature data.
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. The damping value
specifies the time period, in seconds, over which the transmitter will spread changes in the process variable.
At the end of the interval, the internal value of the process variable (the damped value) will reflect 63% of the
change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Set Temperature Damping to the desired value.
• Default: 4.8 seconds
• Range: 0.0 to 80 seconds
Note
If a number greater than 80 is entered, it is automatically changed to 80.
