Meter Dials
Meter odometers appear similar to these examples. All meters contain six-indexing wheels,
and the shaded dials are fixed zeros printed on the meter dial face. The E-CODER
®
register
displays a nine-dial output and transmits eight.
Number of Dials
In N_SIGHT
®
, the host software adjusts the reading to the value of the Dials field in the import
file whether the Adjust Dials option is enabled. The unadjusted reading is also exported to a
different field.
N_SIGHT captures eight-digit readings (reflecting the higher resolution of the E-CODER).
Readings from ARB
®
V and ProRead™ encoders are padded with trailing zeros to fill the eight
digits.
Example:
A two-board ARB V register reading of 1234 becomes 12340000 in the N_SIGHT host
software. There are settings in N_SIGHT that allow the number of dials displayed to be eight
or less.
