Damping
Damping
controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the primary process variable: specific
gravity, molecular weight, or relative density.
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement.
Damping Value
specifies
the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will spread changes in the process variable. At the end
of the interval, the internal value will reflect 63% of the change in the actual measured value.
Tip
Damping affects all process variables that are calculated from the primary process variable: specific gravity,
molecular weight, or relative density.
Procedure
Set
Damping
to the value you want to use.
The default value is 0 seconds. The range is 0 to 440 seconds.
Interaction between Damping and Added Damping
When the mA Output is configured to report the primary process variable (specific gravity, molecular weight,
or relative density), both
Damping
and
Added Damping
are applied to the reported value.
Damping
controls the rate of change in the value of the process variable in transmitter memory.
Added
Damping
controls the rate of change reported via the mA Output.
If
mA Output Process Variable
is set to Specific Gravity, Molecular Weight, or Relative Density, and both
Damping
and
Added Damping
are set to non-zero values, the primary process variable damping is applied
first, and the added damping calculation is applied to the result of the first calculation. This value is reported
over the mA Output.
