LINEARISATION OF VESSELS
This feature is available only in Reflex single point mode
This feature allows volume conversion to be applied on irregular shaped vessels providing that
level/volume relationships are known.
The system allows the entry of a volume profile at up to 16 points of level to be entered into
memory, that is then used to produce the required volume values when in 'RUN' mode. The
required profile is stored in parameter 44.
Before proceeding it is useful to write down a table of the point numbers and 'A'/'B' values to
facilitate programming.
The facility is enabled by Pr.40 = 8. The profile is stored as percentage of level, against
percentage of the total volume. See example on Page 69.
PROCEDURE
The procedure uses a 16 point curve to map the profile, but all 16 points do not have to be used.
% Level is designated "A"
% Volume is designated "B"
The profile data is input into Pr.44 which, when accessed, [Pr.44, 'DSP', 'ENT'] will display 'A1',
which means the data pointer is at value 1 on 'A' data. The values displayed can be changed as
required.
Pr.44 - Keyboard Controls
# - Toggles the display between data blocks 'A' and 'b'
'▲' -} Increases and decreases through the 16 point numbers, when either the point
-} number
'▼' -} or its value is displayed.
CE - Clears the display when inputting a new value.
DSP - Toggles the display between the block and point number and the value.
ENT - Enters a new value.
TEST - Exits Pr.44 and returns the operator to the normal programme.
0-9 - The number keys and decimal point are used to input new values. Increasing or
decreasing through the 16 point numbers can be done only by using the '▲' and
'▼' keys.
