You can choose from direct, indirect, or indirect
square root signal conversion with the L_TYPE [16]
parameter.
Direct
Direct signal conversion allows the signal to pass
through the accessed channel input value (or the
simulated value when simulation is enabled).
PV = Channel Value
Indirect
Indirect signal conversion converts the signal linearly
to the accessed channel input value (or the simulated
value when simulation is enabled) from its specified
range (XD_SCALE [10]) to the range and units of the
PV [7] and OUT [8] parameters (OUT_SCALE [11]).

Indirect Square Root
Indirect Square Root signal conversion takes the
square root of the value computed with the indirect
signal conversion and scales it to the range and units

When the converted input value is below the limit
specified by the LOW_CUT [17] parameter, a value of
zero is used for the converted value (PV [7]). This
option is useful to eliminate false readings when the
differential pressure measurement is close to zero.
Note
Invert is the only I/O option supported
by the AI block. You can set the I/O
option in Out of Service mode only.
