Validity Checks of Data Entries

The GC Controller compares each operator entry with preprogrammed range and format
requirements. The Controller does not allow an unacceptable parameter to be entered, such as an
entry that is out of range or has wrong units (e.g., a letter instead of a number).
If an unacceptable parameter has been entered, enter a new or valid parameter. Valid parameters are
normally established as part of the application software. The range requirements are described as
part of the individual parameter description.
Data identification tags will appear to the right of any data box on the display to indicate the type of
entry expected. These identification tags will help you make valid entries.
Data identification tags, and the corresponding valid entries, are as follows:
s = string (size limited to 12-digit insertions)
b = byte
I = integer (limited to numbers)
l = long (4-byte integer)
f = float (4-byte floating point number)
d = double (8-byte floating point number)
t = toggle (switch from one entry to another with SPACE)
m = time
q = sequence (stream series)
x = text (multiple letters/digits)
= none (none=edit field)
