4.2.2.3 Adjustment of the transfer function
The characteristic curve of the analogue output can be selected. The cor-
relation between the PV range and the analogue 4-20 mA value is calcu-
lated by a transfer function PV (x) -> analogue output (a). The digital, via
HART available values are not altered by this function (except the current
value). Therefore, it is possible to control e.g. a valve with a non-linear flow
curve directly with the analogue output of the transmitter.
