The following table provides a description of the various station
signals.

Station Signals

D
ESCRIPTION
Displays the time reference signal derived from the internal clock that
increments continually. This signal exists to support data acquisition by
test program applications, such as Basic TestWare and MultiPurpose
TestWare. It is not practical to monitor the time signal with an external
readout device.
Displays the time reference signal derived from the internal clock that
resets every hour. Like the time signal, this signal exists to support data
acquisition by test program applications. It is not practical to monitor the
hourly rollover time with external readout devices.
Displays the test control signal sent to the valve driver in volts.
Displays the program command signal in engineering units.
Displays the value of the compensated command signal in engineering
units. This signal is only valid when using PVP, PVC, AIC, APC, or ALC
compensators.
Displays the number of segments played out so far in the selected
control channel. When using a Station Manager meter, this signal is only
available for the Timed meter.
Displays the error signal in engineering units. The error is the difference
between the command signal and the sensor feedback signal.
Displays the absolute value of the error signal in engineering units.
