4.2.1 Analysis and monitoring
If the monitoring line has a smaller gradient
than the reference line, this pinpoints to a re-
duced compression of the actuator springs.

Valves with ATC (air to close) closed posi-
tion
In valves with ATC closed position, the posi-
tioner generates a zero error when the valve
position in the tight-closing position is larger
than the sum of the initialization zero points
and 'Zero limit' or smaller than the negative
'Zero limit' after the adjusted 'Lag time' has
elapsed.
