Using the transmitter display
Enter a floating-point value using the display
Certain configuration values (for example, Lower Range Value and Upper Range Value) are
entered as floating-point values. The display supports both decimal notation and
exponential notation for floating-point values.
The display allows you to enter a maximum of 8 characters, including the sign. The decimal
point is not counted as a character. Exponential notation is used to enter values that
require more than 8 characters.
Enter a floating-point value using decimal notation
Decimal notation allows you to enter values between –9999999 and 99999999. You can
use the decimal point to enter values with a precision of 0 through 4 (4 characters to the
right of the decimal point).
Decimal values entered via the display must meet the following requirements:
•
•
When you first enter the configuration screen, the current configuration value is displayed
in decimal notation, and the active character is flashing. If the value is positive, no sign is
displayed. If the value is negative, a minus sign is displayed.
Note
Display refers to the display on the remotely mounted transmitter, not directly mounted to the
meter. If there is a display directly on the meter, it can only view process variables, and it cannot be
used for any other operation.

• Wait until the display times out and returns to displaying process variable data.
They can contain a maximum of 8 digits, or 7 digits plus a minus sign (−) to indicate
a negative number.
They can contain a decimal point. The decimal point does not count as a digit. The
decimal point must be positioned so that the precision of the value does not exceed
4.
To change the value:
1. Activate Select until the digit you want to change is active (flashing).
Select moves the cursor one position to the left. From the leftmost position,
Select moves the cursor to the rightmost digit.
2. Activate Scroll to change the value of the active digit.
3. Repeat until all digits are set as desired.
To change the sign of the value:
- If the current value is negative, activate Select until the minus sign is flashing,
then activate Scroll until the space is blank.
