Helios PD2-6262 Dual Analog Input Rate/Totalizer
Instruction Manual
31
Setting the Decimal Point (
dEc pt
)
The decimal point for any channel, rate, total, or
grand total, may be set with up to five decimal places
or with no decimal point at all.
Pressing the Right arrow moves the decimal point one
place to the right until no decimal point is displayed,
and then it moves to the leftmost position. Pressing
the Up arrow moves the decimal point one place to
the left.
There are seven decimal points to set up for three
channels: Ch-A rate, total, and grand total; Ch-B rate,
total, and grand total; and Ch-C.
After the decimal points are set up, the meter moves
to the
Program
menu.
Programming the Rate/Totalizer
(
prog
)
The meter may either be scaled (
SCALE
) without
applying an input or calibrated (
Cal
) by applying an
input. The meter comes factory calibrated to NIST
standards, so for initial setup, it is recommended to
use the (
SCALE
) function.
The
Program
menu contains the following menus:
1. Scale channel A and B without a signal
source
2. Calibrate channel A and B with a calibrated
signal source
3. Channel A and B total time base &
conversion factors
4. Channel A and B grand total time base &
conversion factors
5. Channel A and B reset modes for total &
grand total
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any
display value within the range of the meter.
Note: The Scale and Calibrate functions are
exclusive of each other. The meter uses the last
function programmed. Only one of these methods
can be employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate
functions can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The
number of points should be set in the Advanced
menu prior to scaling and calibration of the meter.
See Multi-Point Linearization
50 for details.
Additional parameters, not needed for most
applications, are found in the
Advanced Features
menu; see
on page 46.
