Setting resolution is also six digits in sensor units. The curve format parameter
defines the range and resolution in sensor units as shown in TABLE 5-3. The sensor
type determines the practical setting resolution. TABLE 5-4 lists recommended sen-
sor units resolutions.
Enter the breakpoints with the sensor units value increasing as point number
increases. There should not be any breakpoint locations left blank in the middle of a
curve. The search routine in the Model 336 interprets a blank breakpoint as the end of
the curve.

Curve Entry
Operations
There are five operations associated with front panel curve entry: Edit curve, View
Curve, Erase Curve, Copy Curve, and SoftCal; as detailed below.

Q
( Edit Curve, View Curve, Erase Curve, Copy Curve, SoftCal )
5.9.1 Edit Curve Use the Edit Curve operation to enter a new curve or edit an existing user curve. Only
user curves (21 to 59) can be edited. Entering the identification parameters associ-
ated with the curve is as important as entering the breakpoints. Curve header param-
eters are listed in TABLE 5-3. Typical curve parameters for common sensors are listed
in TABLE 5-4. Read this section completely and gather all necessary data before
beginning the process.
If the curve you wish to enter has similar parameters as an existing curve, first copy the
similar curve (as described in Section 5.2.4) to a new location, then edit the curve to the
desired parameters.

TABLE 5-4 Typical curve parameters
Operation Description Refer to section:
Edit Curve
Edit Curve allows you to edit curves at any user curve location. Stan-
dard curves cannot be changed.
5.9.1
View Curve
View Curve allows you to view any curve at any curve location. No
curves can be changed.
5.9.2
Erase Curve
Erase Curve allows you to delete a curve from any user curve location.
Standard curves cannot be erased.
5.9.3
Copy Curve
Copy Curve allows you to copy a curve from any location to any user
curve location. Curves cannot be copied into standard curve locations.
5.9.4
SoftCal
SoftCal allows you to create a new temperature curve from a standard
curve and known data points entered by the user.
