Procedure 4.5: To perform a current loop test
Sensor Test
This mode simulates the sensor output at a number of raw counts you
define. This is before application of:
• Temperature compensation
• Sensor uniformity gain
• Standardize gain
The true sensor output is ignored while the transmitter is in sensor test
mode.
This mode is useful for verifying the electronics and software response to
input counts without having to:
• Change the process
• Shield the source
• Vary the radiation field
While in this mode, after entering a number of counts, it may be useful to
look at the
Process Chain tab to view the variables affected by the raw
counts value.
