Example
RANGE_LO 20
RANGE_HI 300
In the above case, the followings are established:
IN=310,IN_LO=20 => PV=310
IN=230,IN_LO=20 => g=(230−20)/(300−20)=0.75
PV=0.75x230+(1−0.75)x20=177.5
IN=90,IN_LO=20 => g=(90−20)/(300−20)=0.25
PV=0.25x230+(1-0.25)x20=37.5
IN=19,IN_LO=10 => PV=10
A3.2.2 Auxiliary Inputs
There are bias and gain parameters for the IN_1, IN_2, and IN_3 auxiliary inputs. The following
shows the equation using them.
t_i=(IN_i+BIAS_IN_i)xGAIN_IN_i
The bias parameter is used for calculating absolute temperature or absolute pressure, while the
gain parameter is used for normalization of square root extraction.
