Setpoint A value compared to the reading to force the state of a relay. Term often used
interchangeably with “alarm setpoint.” The relay action can be latching or non-
latching and utilize a hysteresis band or deviation band. Hysteresis bands and
deviation bands are specified by two symmetrical limits around the setpoint.
Tare A constant value that is subtracted from the meter reading to set the reading to
zero. In weighing applications, tare refers to the weight of the empty container.
Tare is subtracted from gross weight to obtain net weight.
TEDS 1451.4 Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS), a set of electronic data in a format
defined by the IEEE 1451.4 standard. This data is on a chip that is part of the
transducer. The data specifies the type of sensor, the scaling constants, and
the unit of measure. By incorporating this chip, the sensor can describe itself to
a smart load cell meter or network Plug and Play system configuration.
Valley Display
The minimum (or most negative) reading since that minimum was last reset.
Reset can be via the meter keypad, a control input, or a serial USB command.
The displayed value can reflect the filtered or unfiltered reading.
Zero A setting by ZEro menu item, which allows the meter to display zero when the
signal level is below a specified percentage of full scale span. This avoids
meaningless noise readings when the reading should be zero.
