CALSTAT
Type
Enumerated type
Value range
READY; ZEROING - WAIT; SPANNING - WAIT.
Units None
Description
SCAL only; shows present calibration status of associated analyzer.
Usage
Bound to the CALSTAT of analyzer 4, this shows analyzer 4's current calibration
status, and is used by the SCAL module as a signal as to what part of its sequence
to do next. For example, it updates AMFNO with a value meaning "Do a zero", and
then monitors CALSTATA(B, C or D) to see if the analyzer has both received the
message and is doing a zero. Once it has done, and CALSTAT is back to normal
again, it goes on to the span step. If the analyzer does not update CALSTAT with
its zeroing message, the S CAL module realizes that the analyzer zero has failed,
and it will abort the calibration cycle at this point.

CONC_ALARM
Direction output
Binding
None
Type Enumerated
Value range
None; HIGH ALARM; HIGH HIGH ALARM; LOW ALARM; LOW LOW ALARM.
Units None
Description
Reports any concentration alarm detected.
Usage
This reports the any concentration alarm that has caused the appropriate relay to
change state. If there are two or more alarms, the more extreme of them will be
reported, e.g. if the module has two HIGH alarms and a HIGH-HIGH alarm, and all
three are in alarm, this variable will report a HIGH-HIGH alarm. Otherwise it will
report the latest alarm that occurred (if there are overlapping high and low alarms).

Direction Input

CRANGE
Type Enumerated
Value range
1; 2; 3; 4.
Units None
Description
Tells the 1/0 module what the analyzer current range is.
SCAL only uses CRANGEIA etc. to bind to each of its analyzer modules.
Usage
The general range selection variable, set manually or automatically by 1/0 modules
of various types. Note that this is an enumerated type - its value is one less than
the range, i.e. a value of 0 refers to range 1, a value of 1 refers to range 2 etc.
