Watlow F4T • 165 • Chapter 5 Function Reference
Maximum
This function selects the maximum of up to four inputs. Only inputs connected to a source
are considered. A filter and offset may be applied to the output. The output has the units of
the signal with the maximum value.

Function
To output the greatest of up to four inputs, set Function to Maximum.
Offset
Adjustment added to the result of the calculation.
Range: -99,999.000 to 99,999.000
Filter
Set the amount of filtering to apply. Filtering smooths signal fluctuations. Increase the time to
increase filtering. Excessive filtering slows the function’s response.
Range: 0.0 to 60.0 seconds
Square Root
This function calculates the square root of input X. A filter and offset may be applied to the
calculated value. The output has the same units as X.

Function
To calculate the square root of an input, set Function to Square Root.
