Although the algorithm requires an air pressure
entry, the daily fluctuations are small enough
that for most applications a fixed entry of the
standard pressure at the site elevation will
suffice. If a pressure sensor is employed, the
current pressure can be used.
PARAM. DATA
NUMBER TYPE DESCRIPTION
01: 4 Input location of
atmospheric pressure
in kilopascals
[PRESSURE]
02: 4 Input location of dry-
bulb temp. [DB TEMP.]
03: 4 Input location of wet-
bulb temp.
[WB TEMP.]
04: 4 Destination input
location for vapor
pressure
[VP or Z]
Input locations altered: 1
*** 58 LOW PASS FILTER ***
FUNCTION
Apply a numerical approximation to an analog
resistor capacitor (RC) low pass (LP) filter using
the following algorithm.
F(Xi) = W*Xi + F(Xi-1) * (1-W)
Where X = input sample, W = user entered
weighting function (O< W <1). If W=O,
F(Xi)=X
1
; if W=1, F(Xi)=X and F(Xi-1) = output
calculated for previous sample
The equivalent RC time constant is given by
T/W, where T is the sampling time in seconds.
For values of W less than 0.25, the analogous
"cut off" frequency (the frequency where the
ratio of output to input is .707) is accurately
represented by W/(2
π
T). For larger values of
W, this "analog" estimate of the cutoff
frequency becomes less representative.
On the first execution after compiling, F(X) is
set equal to X.

01: 2 Repetitions [REPS]
02: 4 First input location for
input data
[X]
03: 4 Dest. input location for
first filtered result[F(X)
or Z]
04: FP Weighting function, W
[W]
Input locations altered: 1 for each repetition
*** 59 BRIDGE TRANSFORM ***
FUNCTION
This instruction is used to aid in the conversion
of a ratiometric Bridge measurement by
obtaining the value for R
s
which is equivalent to
R
f
[X/(1-X)], where X is the value derived by the
standard CR10 Bridge Measurement
Instructions (with appropriate multiplier and
offset, Section 13.5) and R
f
represents the
MULTIPLIER value. The result of Instruction
59 is stored in the same location that X was.
PARAM. DATA
NUMBER TYPE DESCRIPTION
01: 2 Repetitions [REPS]
02: 4 Starting input location
& result destination [X]
03: FP Multiplier (Rf) [MULT]
Input locations altered: 1 for each repetition
*** 61 INDIRECT INDEXED MOVE ***
FUNCTION
Moves input data from location X to location Y,
where X and/or Y are indirectly addressed (X
and Y are stored in the locations specified by
Parameters 1 and 2). If a location parameter is
specified as "indexed" (xxxx--), then the actual
input location referenced is calculated by
adding the current index counter to the value in
the specified input location. When used outside
a loop, the addressing is simply indirect
because the index counter is zero.
