F=
Customized Full Scale Range
The
F=
command is used in conjunction with the
X=
,
Y=
, and
Z=
command to customize the full scale
range and user compensation of the PPT. The
F=
command allows the user to reduce the full scale
range of the PPT by at least one-half the FS value (
M=
). Some units may allow more than 2x reduction
of the full scale value. The
F=
command value can have up to 5 significant digits with a decimal point.
Enter an
F=0
command to disable this function and return to the factory default (
M=
) full scale value.
Using the
F=
command, the maximum allowable full scale pressure is the
M=
value and the minimum
allowable FS pressure is (0.5 x the
M=
value). The new
F=
value becomes the standard FS number used
for other commands and range calculations. (Default:
F=0
, factory set FS)
Note
: The accuracy specification is always referenced to the factory (
M
=) full scale value.
Note
: After the
F=
command is changed, make sure all parameters are stored in EEPROM
(SP=ALL
) then enter a reset command (
IN=RESET
) or cycle the power off and on.
Inquiry: *dd
F=
Note
: The
F=
inquiry will always send the full scale value in the display units (
DU
) that were set
when the
F=
command was executed. To insure the pressure units of an
F=
inquiry, follow the
F=
command with the
DU
inquiry.

This value can have up to 5 significant digits with a decimal point. First, select the display
units desired (except for
LCOM
,
USER
, or
PFS
) using the
DU
command.
H=
Highest Analog Voltage
Set the DAC
H
igh analog output voltage full scale (FS) reading. The input is a value from 0 to 99% of 5
volts, or 50 millivolts per count. An
H=
inquiry reads the value in 50 millivolt counts. This command is
used in conjunction with the
L=
, and
AN
commands to customize the range of the PPT analog voltage
output. If there is an input error, then the command error flag in the
RS
command will be set and no
change will occur. See Figure 4.4 for command illustration. (Default:
H=100
)
Note
: See the
L=
command for setting the low analog output voltage. See the
AN
command for
enabling and disabling the
H=
and
L=
settings and for the effect on analog resolution. If
H=
value -
L=
value, then no change will occur and an
RS
command error will result.

0 - 100
(%) This number sets the full scale (FS) analog voltage as an integer percent of 5.00
volts. An
H=0
setting will set the high level to 100% (5 volts). It can also be thought of as a
multiplier in 50 millivolt increments. As an example, H=85 corresponds to a FS voltage of
4.25 volt (85 x 50mV or 85% of 5.00V). For
H=0
, the FS voltage is set to 100%, or 5.00 volts.
A
H=
entry greater than 100 will set
H=
100.
