4.12.4. Resolution
In this menu you can adjust the resolution of your flow and totalizer values
shown on the display.
The DB04A has the ability to show the actual flow and the totalizer in
many different engineering units. This means that the number of digits in
the readout can change a lot. In automatic resolution mode (menu option
"Auto") the number of digits are computed depending on range and
current selected unit.
The minimum number of digits is 4, the maximum 6 (Excluding the
decimal point). Below you find the table on how many digits will be visible
in this auto mode.
Notes:
1. Because the value is right-aligned, it is possible that depending on the actual flow you can
see a change in the number of digits behind the decimal point. For example if the flow is
changing from 2 to 2.01 and then 2.1 you can see: 2.0, 2.01 and 2.1 on the display.
2. If the maximum number of digits is exceeded you see out of range on the display. In that
case select another unit (see chapter
4.12.2 Units
).
3. The step size in auto mode between each reading is depending on the range but it is
always well within the accuracy of the flow meter. For other setting mentioned below, this
does not have to be the case.
The other settings are the minimum step that the value will take between values.
Example: If you have a flow of 189.673 mln/min than the unit will show 189.6 in auto mode.
When selecting the other settings you would see:
