6.13.3 %-Error function
The calibrator features a special function which can calculate the error in the pressure
value from the mA value as a percentage of the 4 ... 20 mA span. The %-Error mode
uses all three screens and has a special menu structure. It displays pressure, mA and
%-Error simultaneously.
Example:
Suppose a pressure transmitter under test has a full scale range (measuring range) of
20 bar and gives a corresponding 4 ... 20 mA output signal. The user can programme in
a 0 ... 20 bar pressure span into the calibrator and the calibrator will then calculate and
display the deviation or %-Error value from the 4 ... 20 mA output. This then eliminates
manual calculations of the test item deviation.
