SPANGAS

Direction Bidirectional
Binding

None

Type

4-element floating point array

Value range

Typically 80% of RNGHI

Units ppm
Description

Contains the value of span gases, element 1 containing the span gas for range 1 etc.

Usage

During a span function, the analyzer adjusts the value of SPAN for the selected range
such that the value of PVA becomes equal to the value of the appropriate element of
SPANGAS, to within 0.02% of the range value. This variable should be kept updated
with the current value of the span gas as shown on the bottle label. If the bottle is of
dubious quality, it may be desirable to compare its reading with that of a known good
standard, and then mark the bottle and this variable accordingly.

Direction Bidirectional
Binding

None

Type

4-element floating point array

Value range

Each element typically around 0.0005, depending on range and analyzer.

Units None
Description

The value of the span factor SPAN at manufacturing checkout time.

Usage

The check out personnel copy a known good set of span coefficients into this variable,
and then if desired the user can copy them back into SPAN.

Units None
Description

Each bit of the first and second element of STCONT shows the state of the
corresponding alarm named in this variable; These are standard alarms supported by
each analyzer. MAINTENANCE REQUEST means that GENERALSTATE is greater
than 0; FAILURE that it is equal to' FAILURE. RANGE OVERFLOW means that the
reading is greater than the CURENTRNGHI value, RANGE UNDERFLOW that it is
less than the RNGHI value of the range below the present one. INVALID SELECTION
is not shown on the display.

Usage

Used to allow the 1/0 Module to select which specific alarm to assign to which relay.
These values are shown on the 1/0 module alarm selection menu.
