NGA2000 Reference
TEMPCOMP
Direction Bidirectional
Binding
None
Type Enumerated
Value range
DISABLED; ENABLED
Units None
Description
CLD only; selects whether the temperature compensation is enabled or not
Usage
If enabled, the CLD uses the sensor block temperature controller duty cycle to
determine the ambient temperature. The temperature compensation algorithm uses
this to adjust the output for temperature changes.

Direction
Analyzer and 1/0 module: output
Binding
None
Type
NDIR, PMD, I/0 module: Integer; FID: 3-element integer
Value range
0 - 300 or so; 0 - 999 in I/0 module
Units Seconds
Description
The time remaining in a function.
General use (FID only).
Number of ignition tries in the present sequence.
Timer for the air purge.
ACAL, SCAL only; shows the time left in the current procedure.
Usage
Analyzer:
Used to show how much time remains for the present function. In the case
of the FID, element two counts how many ignition tries so far (unsuccessful if greater
than 1); element 3 times the purge air. This is stopped if DIGDIAGA element 3 is set,
i.e., the purge is successful.
I/O module
: Shows the time left until time out for the current section of a calibration
cycle. This either refers to the time until a fixed event, such as the remaining time on a
zero gas soak before the analyzers are told to zero themselves, or the time left until a
time out occurs, such as while waiting for an analyzer to zero itself, this value will count
down from 999. At the end of this time the procedure will abort if the analyzer has not
reported a successful calibration. Otherwise the procedure will move on as soon as the
analyzer has reported a successful calibration, whatever the value of this variable.

Type
2-element floating point array (6-element in the FID and CLD)
Value range
User selectable, depending on application
Units

C
Description
Internal temperature measurement limits:
Case temperature upper limit (NDIR, PMD, FID), Converter temperature (CLD).
Case temperature lower limit (NDIR, PMD, FID), Converter temperature (CLD).
Flame temperature upper limit (FID), Sensor block temperature (CLD).
Flame temperature lower limit (FID), Sensor block temperature (CLD).
Sensor block temperature upper limit (CLD), Preamp temperature (FID).
Sensor block temperature lower limit (CLD), Preamp temperature (FID).
Usage
Limits on the temperature measurements. If transgressed, the alarm system Will issue
warning alarms.
