Read-only. Shows the status of the totalizer.
The Resolution parameter allows the number of decimal places (up to six) to be set for the
totalized value as displayed on the instrument panel. It does not affect the resolution of
the totalization process. Up to six decimal places may be set for the totalized value.
Allows a units string of up to five characters to be entered for the totalized value.
Allows a units scaler to be selected. Typically this will be used to scale between unit types
rather than to influence time period.
One example of this would be when an input is measured in Litres/Minute, and Period has
been set to 1Minute. If UnitsScaler is set to 1 then the total volume will be measured in
Litres. If the volume is required in Cubic Metres then conversion of the total will be needed.
There are 1000 Litres in a Cubic Metre so the UnitsScaler should be set to 1000. This
produces an additional division of 1000 and results in a total output in Cubic Metres.
Another example would be a requirement for the output in Gallons rather than litres, still
with an input being measured in Litres/Minute. There are 4.54609 litres in an imperial
gallon so the UnitsScaler would be set to 4.54609. (For a US Gallon the figure would be
3.78541.)
Used to restrict the input operating range of the totalizer. Minimum value = -100 000
Used to restrict the input operating range of the totalizer. Maximum value = 100 000
Low Cut Off and High Cut Off are particularly important as they directly affect the
totalization process. Together these two parameters define the range of valid inputs to the
totalization process. If Input1 value lies between them, then the input is considered valid
