Glossary
User selection of PV conversion algorithm: Linear or Square Root
Adjustment to digital-to analog (output) conversion algorithm that
aligns minimum and maximum values of scaled digital range to
minimum (0%) and maximum (100%) values of analog output.
Digital algorithm in transmitter MPU that reduces noise in a PV that is
generated in the process or induced in transmitter components.
A standard scale of values, selected by you from a standard set for
convenient display and interpretation.
Physical property (e.g., pressure) applied to a sensor
Digital value, calculated in the transmitter, that represents magnitude
of the physical input
A device associated with a single transmitter and installed locally (in
the transmitter housing) or remotely (in a separate housing) that
displays variables sensed or calculated in the transmitter.
(In Analog Mode only) a set of commands from the HHC that causes
the transmitter to provide 0% (4 mA) and 100% (20 mA) for testing
proper operation of all components of the current loop.
Minimum value in the useful range of the physical property of a
transmitter at which a sensor can operate.
Minimum value in a continuous range of "normal" process values.
When On, the value of PV2 is set to the value of PV1.
User-selected scale of values that provides for convenient
interpretation of values in the associated transmitter.
Analog or digital value, calculated from the input, that is transferred
from the transmitter to a receiver (e.g., process control equipment)
Measured magnitude of a primary physical property such as pressure
or temperature.
Physical property such as pressure or temperature, applied to an input
sensor
Standard scale of values of a PV, selected by you for convenient
display and interpretation.
Standardized designation of the physical design property of a sensor
(e.g., DP, AP for pressure TC, RTD for temperature.)
The continuous range of values in the "normal" operating range of PV
values (that is, URV-LRV).
A measured physical value of a physical property (e.g., temperature)
that relates to the measured primary physical property (e.g., pressure).
