• If the displayed value is not the same as the value in transmitter memory, SAVE/YES? flashes on the
display. Activate Scroll.
B.3.1 Enter a floating-point value using exponential notation
Exponential notation is used to enter values that are larger than 99999999 or smaller than −9999999.
Exponential values entered via the display must be in the following form: SX.XXXEYY. In this string:
• S = Sign. A minus sign (−) indicates a negative number. A blank indicates a positive number.
• X.XXX = The 4-digit mantissa.
• E = The exponent indicator.
• YY = The 2-digit exponent.
Procedure
1. Switch from decimal notation to exponential notation.
a) Activate Select as required until the rightmost digit is flashing.
b) Activate Scroll until E is displayed.
c) Activate Select.
Tip
If you have modified the value in decimal notation without saving the changes to transmitter memory,
the changes will be lost when you switch to exponential notation. Save the decimal value before
switching to exponential notation.
2. Enter the exponent.
The first character may be a minus sign or any digit between 0 and 3. The second character may be any
digit between 0 and 9.
a) Activate Select to move the cursor to the rightmost character on the display.
b) Activate Scroll until the desired character is displayed.
c) Activate Select to move the cursor one position to the left.
d) Activate Scroll until the desired character is displayed.
3. Enter the mantissa.
The mantissa must be a 4-digit value with a precision of 3 (that is, all values between 0.000 and 9.999).
a) Activate Select to move the cursor to the rightmost digit in the mantissa.
b) Activate Scroll until the desired character is displayed.
c) Activate Select to move the cursor one digit to the left.
d) Activate Scroll until the desired character is displayed.
e) Activate Select to move the cursor one digit to the left.
f) Activate Scroll until the desired character is displayed.
g) Activate Select to move the cursor one digit to the left.
