Chapter 3 Getting Started
3.6.2 Input Scale
To set the Input scale:
1. From the Point Setup menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Input scale and then press
the ENTER button.
2. You will be presented with a character keypad and asked for the value to represent the low or bottom end
of the input scale and for this range; it will default to 0.0000. Up to thirteen characters can be entered. For
our programming example, press the ENTER button to accept 0.0000 as the low end value.
3. You will then be asked for the value to represent the high end of the input scale. This value will default to
1.2500. For the sake of this exercise, use the character buttons to enter 1.0 and then press the ENTER
button which will return you back to the Point Setup menu.
3.6.3 Output Scale
The Output scale is the value that will be reflected on the display or recorded to the units and will once again be
scaled by using the Chart scale programmed at a later time.
To set the Output scale:
1. From the Point Setup menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Output scale and the press
the ENTER button.
2. You will be asked to specify the number of decimal places? (0-5). For this example, use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or
DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to select 3 decimal places and then press the ENTER button.
3. You will be presented with the value for the low end of the output scale which defaults to 0. Press the
ENTER button to accept 0.
4. You will be presented with the high value which defaults to 1. Use the character buttons to enter 100.0 and
then press the ENTER button which will return you back to the Point Setup menu.
You have now effectively programmed the Output scale to represent 100 times the Input scale.
3.6.4 Engineering Units
To set the Engineering Units:
1. From the Point Setup menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Eng Units and then press the
ENTER button.
2. You may enter up to five characters representing the Engineering units using the alphanumeric keypad in
the page mode as done for the Point tag. For this example, press the PAGE button until you see the
percent sign (%) button.
3. Press the % button and then press the ENTER button which will return you back to the Point Setup menu.
You have now programmed the Engineering units to percent (%).
3.6.5 Chart Scale
To finalize the display scaling, we need to set the Chart scale. The actual Chart scale values are programmed
elsewhere and are covered in section 3.7.
To set the Chart scale:
1. From the Point Setup menu use the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to highlight Chart scale and then press
the ENTER button.
2. You must choose one of eight scales (A-H). The default is chart scl= A. For the sake of this example, use
the UP (↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ) or DOWN (↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ) button to specify chart scl= B and then press the ENTER button which will return
you back to the Point Setup menu.
You have now successfully programmed a point. To save your programming, press the EXIT button. You will be
asked if you want to keep setup?. Press the ENTER or YES button to save your programming. Then press the
EXIT button twice to return to the default display.
