A 16-bit value must be sent to the ITV. The lower or least significant 12 bits represent the count
value. Counts sent to the ITV for a desired pressure or vacuum output must be scaled to an integer
value between 0 and 4095.
The βMaximum Pressure Scaling Formulaβ for converting pressure to counts is:
πΆπππππ = (
π
ππππππ
ππππππππ
πππππππ ππππππππ
) Γ ππππ
Some of the typical pressure unit types are precalculated below in the table. If another type is need
counts can also be determined by using the βScale Factor Formulaβ:
πͺπππππ = π
ππππππ
ππππππππ Γ πππππ ππππππ
The following table shows some precalculated the scale factors for the ITV body types and pressure
units
Figure 11 - ITV Scale Factors
For example: The desired output pressure is 10 PSI for an X030 ITV. From the table, the scale
factor for this body type is 56.46. Use the βScale Factorβ formula to obtain the count value.
πͺπππππ = ππ Γ ππ.ππ = πππ.π β
πππ = ππππππ
The calculated count value must be rounded if necessary and converted to hexadecimal.
