Gauge
Measures pressure relative to atmosphere (zero is ambient pressure)
using PPCH’s automated offsetting of atmospheric pressure with dynamic
compensation for atmospheric pressure changes (see Section 3.2.4).
Range is from zero gauge to full scale.
The maximum pressure of each Q-RPT is the same in absolute and gauge measurement modes.
If the Q-RPT will not be used in absolute mode, absolute mode can be turned off to avoid
using it unintentionally (see Section 5.3.5).
OPERATION
To change the active measurement mode for a range,
press
[MODE]
from the MAIN RUN screen while the
range is active. The display is:
Measurement mode:
1abs 2gage
Only gauge mode is available if absolute mode is OFF (see Section 5.3.5).
Certain PPCH settings, including AutoZ ON/OFF (see Section 3.5.1) are range AND
measurement mode specific. See Table 7 for a listing of settings and what they are specific to.
Absolute mode on an PPCH Q-RPT can be turned OFF in the calibration function (see
Section 5.3.5). When absolute mode is turned OFF, only gauge mode can be activated. <Gauge
mode only, abs mode OFF> is displayed when [MODE] is pressed.

PURPOSE
To automatically set up PPCH to optimize its measurement and control characteristics and
other features to cover a specific pressure range.
[AutoRange] creates new ranges. See [Range] to select from existing ranges (see Section
3.3.1).
PRINCIPLE
PPCH is designed to support the calibration and test of a very wide variety of test ranges in
various measurement modes with a single pressure controller system.
The AutoRange function simplifies the task of selecting the Q-RPT best suited to cover a
specific test range and setting measurement and control parameters appropriately for the
range. These are set automatically based on operator entry of desired measurement mode,
pressure unit of measure and range full scale. The selections and settings made by
AutoRange are summarized in Table 9.
A range set up using AutoRange and all its range specific settings, may be saved for later
recall using
[SETUP]
,
<1range>
(see Section 3.4.1). Saved ranges are available for
selection using
[RANGE]
(see Section 3.3.1). If a range created by AutoRange is not saved,
it is overwritten by the next AutoRange or erased when another range is selected or PPCH
power is turned OFF.
Use [AutoTest], <1QDUT> to AutoRange PPCH based on DUT tolerance (see Section
3.3.6.2).
