Added Damping affects the reporting of mA Output Process Variable through the mA output
only. It does not affect the reporting of that process variable via any other method (e.g., a
frequency output or digital communications), or the value of the process variable used in
calculations.
Note
Added Damping is not applied if the mA output is fixed (for example, during loop testing) or if the mA
output is reporting a fault. Added Damping is applied while sensor simulation is active.
Procedure
Set Added Damping to the desired value.
The default value is 0.0 seconds. The range is 0.0 to 440 seconds.
When you specify a value for Added Damping, the transmitter automatically rounds the value
down to the nearest valid value.
Interaction between mA Output Damping and process variable
damping
When mA Output Process Variable is set to density or temperature, Added Damping interacts
with Density Damping or Temperature Damping.
Example: Damping interaction
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable = Density
• Density Damping = 1 second
• Added Damping = 2 seconds
Result: A change in density will be reflected in the mA output over a time period that is
greater than 3 seconds. The exact time period is calculated by the transmitter according to
internal algorithms which are not configurable.
