    OOPs Main Display Loop The PAX2D offers three display loops to allow users quick access to needed information. In the Main display loop, the D key is pressed to sequence through the selected Line 2 values. A left justified 2 or 3-character mnemonic indicates which Line 2 value is currently shown.

  • Page 15 SCALING CALCULATION General Rules on Scaling Each counter has the ability to scale an input signal to a desired display value. This is accomplished by the counter mode (Cnt x), decimal point (dEC Pt), scale 1. It is recommended that, the scale factor be as close as possible to, but not factor (SC FAC), and scale multiplier (SCALEr).
  • Page 16 Non-linear Application – Up to 10 Scaling Points RATE LOW CUT-OUT For non-linear processes, up to 10 scaling points may be used to provide a LO-CUt piece-wise linear approximation representing the non-linear function. The Rate 999999 Display will be linear between sequential scaling points. Thus, the greater the number of scaling points, the greater the conformity accuracy.
  • Page 17 RATE C DISPLAY MULTIPLIER SCALEr 1000 Set the Display Multiplier to obtain the desired Rate C display resolution. For Rate C percentage calculations, the result is internally multiplied by 100 to show percent as a whole number. By using a Display Multiplier of 10, 100 or 1000, along with the proper decimal point position, percentage can be shown in tenths, hundredths or thousandths respectively.

To have output capabilities, a setpoint option card needs to be installed into the PAX2D (see Ordering Information). Depending on the card installed, there will be two or four setpoint outputs available. If no output card is installed, programming for the setpoints is still available.
