5.3.4 Bargraph configuration The configuration allows for the adjustment of the bargraph indications to the user’s preferences. The bargraph is configured by setting the measured values representing 0% of bargraph indications and the measured values representing 100% of bargraph indications. Both of these values can be positive and negative.
Page 22
- Vertical bargraph For the vertical bar graph, its indication ranges should be defined for the required values. The lower and upper values can be both positive and negative, and the bar graph stays linear throughout its entire range of indications. When the indication area contains a zero point, the zero- position indicator is placed on the bar graph Examples of settings: c) temperature input PT100, the value measured for 0% - 0, for 100%...

Broadcast address: 253 6.2 Map of N21 meter registers In the N21 meter, data are placed in 16 and 32-bit registers. Process variables and meter parameters are placed in the address area of registers in a way depended on the variable value type. Bits in 16- bit registers are numbered from the least significant to the most signifi- cant bit (b0-b15).

b) vertical bargraph Figure 15. Designing an image of measuring value unit The image of measured value unit takes a display area of 18x24 points for the horizontal bargraph, or 17x8 for the vertical bar graph. The area is divided into 3 or 1 row respectively, and each row in the 18 vertical lines of 8 points each.
7. ERROR CODES After switching the meter on the error messages may be displayed. For the horizontal bargraph the list of messages is shortened and looks as follows: Overflow of the upper value range maximum number of digits in the display field (too high dis- play precision).

For the vertical bargraph the list of messages is shortened and looks as follows: Overflow of the upper value range maximum number of digits in the display field (too high display precision). Overflow of the lower value range maximum number of digits in the display field (too high display precision).
8. SOFTWARE UPDATE The features implemented in the N21 meter enable to upgrade its soft- ware using a PC with e-Con software installed. Free eCon software and the update files are available at the website www.lumel.com.pl. Upda- ting is done via the USB interface of the N21 meter.
