RANGE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
In general, PPC2+ functions and settings are range specific. They are set and stored
for each range so that changing them when in one range does not change them in the
other ranges. When you return to a range, you will find the settings you left.
Functions and settings that are NOT range specific are:
•
Functions: HEAD, ANALOG
•
Setup Menu: <1ControlRef>, <4Drivers>
3.2.2 UNIT
m
PURPOSE
To specify the pressure unit and measurement mode in which PPC2+ displays
pressure values.
See also Section 3.4.3.
m
PRINCIPLE
PPC2+ allows the pressure measurement unit and mode to be changed.
Internally, PPC2+ always operates in Pascal (Pa), the SI unit of pressure. Values of
pressure are represented in other units by the application of conversion factors to convert
from Pa (see Section 7.3).
RPTs designated AXXXX intrinsically measure absolute pressure relative to an evacuated
and sealed reference. These can also be used to measure in gauge mode by the
subtraction of atmospheric pressure. PPC2+ supports extensive on-board logic and
measurements to assure the precise atmospheric compensation of absolute RPTs to
deliver gauge measurements (see Section 3.4.1). This allows simple, one step switching
between gauge and absolute measurement modes by the operator without special
procedures or hardware. RPTs designated GXXXX intrinsically measure gauge pressure
and can be used in gauge pressure measurement mode only.
m
OPERATION
To change the pressure unit and/or the
measurement mode, press the [UNIT] function key.
The display is:
Select <1> to change pressure units or <2> to change measurement mode. If a
measurement mode change is not currently possible (if the active RPT is gauge only or if
the current pressure unit is an altitude unit which can only be absolute), the <2mode>
selection is not offered.
If <2mode> was selected the next screen offers the choice between <1gauge>
and <2absolute>. Making a selection returns to the main run screen with the selected
measurement mode active.
