Setting the Display Units or Custom
Tags (units)
Enter the display unit or custom tag that will be
displayed if units are selected in the units menu, or
d unit is selected as the lower display parameter.
See Setting the Display Parameter & Intensity
(dsplay) flow chart on page 32 to access the display
menu to show the unit or tag on the lower display.
The engineering units or custom legends can be set
using the following 7-segment character set:

Setting the Decimal Point (dEc pt)
The decimal point may be set with up to five decimal
places or with no decimal point at all.
Pressing the Right arrow moves the decimal point one
place to the right until no decimal point is displayed,
and then it moves to the leftmost position.
Pressing the Up arrow moves the decimal point to the left.
If the dual-scale feature is selected, the decimal point
selections for PV1 & PV2 are enabled.
Programming the Meter (prog)
The meter may either be scaled (SCALE) without
applying an input or calibrated (Cal) by applying an
input. The meter comes factory calibrated to NIST
standards to read in millivolts, so for initial setup, it is
recommended to use the (SCALE) function.
For strain gauge and load cell applications it is
recommended to calibrate the meter using the
sensor as the input and with ratiometric operation
enabled to compensate for small variation in the
excitation voltage.
The PD2-6100 is a single input meter with dual-scale
capability. If the dual-scale feature is selected in the
Setup menu, the Scale 1 and Scale 2 menus are
enabled for PV1 & PV2 respectively.
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any
display value within the range of the meter.

Applications
Additional parameters, not needed for most
applications, are programmed in the Advanced
Features menu. See Advanced Features Menu on
