Filter Type
There are three settings for the filter type
1.
Filter Type = Off.
The display will respond immediately to any change in the PV input. If, however, there is
any input noise this will result in fluctuations of the reading
2.
Filter Type = Integrating action.
This is designed for all process input types with the exception of weigh cell
transducers as explained in section 3.6. The function is exponential which means that, for a step change in
the input, the displayed value will move rapidly at first towards the new reading then gradually slow as the
reading approaches the PV value. The effect is that small rapidly changing input values are ignored. The rate
of response is set, in seconds, by the parameter
Int.t
, which only appears for this type of filter. The larger
the value the more sluggish the response
3.
Filter Type = Step Band
. This is specifically designed for weighing applications. The filter only responds
when the displayed value becomes close to the measured value. This means that for a step change in the
input the displayed value will change rapidly towards the measured value then slow as it reaches this value.
The step band is set by the parameter
StP.b
which only appears for this type of filter. The units approximate
to 1
µ
V steps – the larger the setting more sluggish the response over the final stages of the reading. This type
of filter is used, for example, where a weigh bridge or load cell is subject to vibrations

User Calibration Lists
These lists only appear if the ‘Type of Calibration’,
<
tYPE
>
, is configured for strain gauge type transducer
applications (see Configuration Chapter for further details). The lists below are shown for each type of calibration.
If
<
Type
>
=
<
OFF
>
the lists are not displayed.
Some parameter mnemonics remain the same for each type of transducer, but their functions may vary in detail
between the different types. The tables are repeated, therefore, for each calibration type.
The tables are followed by a description of procedure to use for each type of calibration.
