the
<Raw Output Unit>
. If the desired raw output unit is not available,
directly type in the output unit.
When the selected <Output Type> is the same as the <Device Type> on the
[Header] tab, the entries on the Final Output Frame are disabled. In this case, GFS
Tools assumes that no scaling is required between the raw output and final output.
If necessary, GFS Tools will automatically perform a unit conversion when running a
test definition.
Enter the
<Minimum>
and
<Maximum>
output values. This determines the
raw output span. Depending on the
<Raw Output to Final Output
Relationship>
, the values entered may be used to determine the final output.
In some cases, the actual
<Minimum>
and
<Maximum>
entries are not
relevant. For example, when setting up a resistance output of a DMM, the
raw output and final output typically have a relationship of
<Same>
.
Therefore, no manipulation between raw output and final output occurs. As a
result, there is no need to enter a specific resistance range. The only
restriction is that the entries are not the same to avoid a span of 0.
Select the
<Resolution>
to use when displaying, logging and reporting the
raw output. Use a resolution appropriate for the device and its tolerance.
On the
Final Output
frame, select the
<Unit>
in which the final output is
defined.
GFS Tools
automatically converts from this output unit of measure
to any required display or test unit of measure. The unit must be selected
from the list of available choices. If a flow unit is not in the list select the
[Tool][Unit of Measure Converter]
menu choice to activate the
Unit of
Measure Converter
. This tool provides features to create custom flow units.
Enter
the
<Minimum>
and
<Maximum>
output values. These determine the
span and full scale of the final output.
Select the
<Resolution>
to apply to the Final Output. The selection
determines the resolution with which the final output is displayed and logged
in the test Data File. Use a resolution appropriate for the device and its
tolerance.
Select
a
Tolerance
frame tolerance option that represents the uncertainty of
the device.

DESCRIPTION
Output Type
(required drop down
list selection)
Select the output type of the numeric output of the raw output. This
selection describes the general type of the output. The choice updates the
available units of measure and
<Output Source>
selections for the raw
output.
Raw Output Unit
(required text
entry/list selection)
Select or enter the unit of measure in which the raw output will be obtained.
When manually entering the raw output, or using remote commands to read
the raw output, the values must be acquired in the unit specified in this field.
Minimum
(conditional numeric
entry)
Enter the minimum raw output or final output value. The value entered must
correspond to the output unit selected.
Maximum
(conditional numeric
entry)
Enter the maximum raw output or final output value. The value entered
must correspond to the output unit selected.
