and allow editing of the action equation
DV1 Rset Eq P1
___,___,___,___,
The action equation defines the internal triggers that are to be used to trigger the reset of cumulative variables.
DERIVED VARIABLE DESCRIPTOR
DV1 Descript.
????????????????
The derived variable descriptor is a character string, of up to 16 characters, which appears above the current
value in a single channel display, and which is printed on the chart when the dv range is printed, or the channel
logged. The descriptor string is entered using the up/down/side arrow keys as described in section 4.4.
DERIVED VARIABLE UNITS
DV1 Units
?????
The derived variable units entry is a character string, of up to 5 characters. The string appears whenever the
associated dv appears. The descriptor string is entered using the up/down/side arrow keys as described in section
4.4.
DERIVED VARIABLE DECIMAL POINT
The currently selected decimal position is shown. The up/down arrow keys move the decimal point that appears
in the displayed value. These positions are selectable:
X.XXXX, XX.XXX, XXX.XX, XXXX.X, XXXXX.
If a value is to be displayed, the use of number positions to the right of the Decimal Point should be considered
carefully. The use of multiple decimal positions can imply a reading accuracy beyond the sensor and/or recorder
capability.
Also, the least significant (right end) digits will be the fastest changing digits. Multiple decimal positions may
change so quickly that the display will be difficult to read.
