Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. The Damping Value
specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will spread changes in the reported
process variable. At the end of the interval, the reported process variable will reflect 63% of the change
in the actual measured value.
Tips
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value
must change slowly.
• A low damping value makes the process variable appear more erratic because the reported
value changes more quickly.
Procedure
Enter the desired value for Temperature Damping.
The default value is 4.8 seconds. The range is 0.0 seconds to 38.4 seconds.
When you enter a value for Temperature Damping, the transmitter automatically rounds it down to the
nearest valid value. Valid values for Temperature Damping are 0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, ... 38.4.
Effect of Temperature Damping
Temperature Damping affects the response speed for temperature compensation. Temperature
compensation adjusts process measurement to compensate for the effect of temperature on sensor
tube stiffness.
