P.Q‘LIN
– Linearization of the process characteristic
This function automatically linearizes the process characteristic.
In doing so, the nodes for the correction characteristic are automatically determined. To do this, the program moves
through the valve stroke in 20 steps and measures the associated process variable.
The correction characteristic and the associated value pairs are saved in the menu option
CHARACT
→
FREE
.
This is where they can be viewed and freely programmed. For a description see Chapter "24.2.1".
If the
CARACT
menu option has still not been activated and incorporated into the main menu (MAIN), this will happen
automatically when
P.Q‘LIN
is being run.
