For typical zero based frequency measurements, the lower point is set to display 0 for 0 Hz input (factory setting) and the upper point set to display the desired value for a given input frequency. For non-zero based applications, the lower point is set to the desired display for 0 Hz input. For non-linear processes, up to 10 scaling points may be used to provide a piece-wise linear approximation representing the non-linear function.

For Rate C percentage calculations, the result is internally multiplied by 100 to show percent as a whole number. By using a Display Multiplier of 10, 100 or 1000, along with the proper decimal point position, percentage can be shown in tenths, hundredths or thousandths respectively.
  • Page 67 Common Rate Low Update Time Range: 0.1 to 999.9 Sec The Low Update Time is the minimum amount of time between display updates for all enabled Rate displays. Small Low Update Time values may increase the possibility of the display indicating an unstable input (jittery display).
  • Page 68 Maximum Capture Delay Time Range: 0.0 to 999.9 Sec When the assigned Rate value is above the present Maximum rate value for the entered amount of time, the unit will capture that Rate value as the new Maximum value. A delay time helps to avoid false captures of sudden short spikes.
