4.15 Scaling ( calibration ) of the external analogue inputs
The external analogue inputs are scaled via the MANUAL CAL menu entry. The
mechanism for scaling of the inputs is to specify the variable value that corresponds
to the minimum analogue input ( 0 or 4mA ) and the maximum analogue input (
20mA ). The instrument then applies a linear scaling to input signals between these
limits. The user also defines if the analogue input is true zero ( 0-20mA ) or live zero
( 4-20mA ). The variable value specified for the maximum analogue input value (
20mA ) must be a positive number and must be greater than the variable value
specified for the minimum analogue input ( 0 or 4 mA ). The procedure for definition
of the analogue input scaling is given in table 4.10.
