which is used to read the phase time of the specified portion (high or low time) of the input signal, as determined by
this function.

signal is the high or low time of the signal.

scale factor for the time measurement of the input signal. This allows the input signal to be converted to a value
with meaningful units such as GPM (gallons per minute), FPM (feet per minute), etc.
•
'None'. It specifies the number of decimal places shown when viewing or transmitting the scaled phase time and
pulse count. When P864 is not available (due to P863 = 'None'), four decimal places are used for displaying the
phase time and zero decimal places for the pulse count.
•
This parameter will be updated every time the specified number of input pulses (per P860) occurs. If P863 is not
'None', then the value provided by P50 will be the measured time multiplied by the scaling factor specified by P863
and the number of decimal places used when displaying and transmitting P50 is specified by P864. Otherwise
'PhsTm's P50 will show four decimal places.

GSE Scale Systems
P852: "TNam": Allows a name to be assigned to I/O parameter 50
P860: "#Pls": Specifies the number of pulses (or cycles) whose time
P861: "MTyp": Specifies whether the measured portion of the input
P863: "SFac": Specifies which parameter is intended to provide a
To specify a scaling factor, first allocate a Var for this purpose, then
key in 80.X [ENTER] where 'X' is the Var number to be used.
(Although we allow parameters other than Vars to be used as scaling
factors, most applications would logically use only Vars as scale
factors.) Then, in the weigh mode, enter the value of the pre-scale
value into the specified Var.
P864: "# DP": This parameter is only available if P863 is not set to
The 'weigh mode' parameters available for 'PhsTm' are:
P50: The high or low time (as specified by P861) of the input signal.
This value may be entered; however it will be overwritten once the
frequency has been recalculated. This may be useful for detecting
when the frequency is updated.
The name used for displaying and transmitting P50 is specified by
P852. If no name is specified, PIOA'X' is used, where 'X' is the
channel number.
P51: The total count of pulses of the input signal. Whenever this
If P863 is not 'None', then the value provided by P51 will be the total
number of pulses multiplied by the scaling factor specified by P863
and the number of decimal places used when displaying and
transmitting P51 is specified by P864. Otherwise, zero decimal places
are displayed for the pulse count.
This total count may be entered or cleared at any time and the new
total will be further incremented by any further pulses.
The name used for displaying and transmitting P51 is specified by
P853. If no name is specified, PIOB'X' is used, where 'X' is the
channel number.
These parameters may be viewed on the display by keying in the
parameter number followed by a decimal point and then the channel
number followed by the [SELECT] key (i.e. 51.3 [SELECT] causes
P51 for channel 3 to be displayed). While a parameter is displayed,
