LONPVUPDATE
Direction Bidirectional
Binding
LONPVUPDATE
Type Enumerated
Value range
ASAP; 10 per second; 1 per second; normally 10 per second, though systems
should be set to 1 per second.
Units None
Description
The frequency with which the main reading variable PVA is updated over the
network.
Usage
The network is capable of supporting about 250 variable updates per second. If this
value is exceeded, collisions occur and the overall response becomes degraded. In
this case, menus are not easily accessed, and the editing of variables does not
appear to work reliably. PC software also becomes degraded. This can be
ameliorated by reducing the update rate of the primary variable using
LONPVUPDATE. The system response time is not directly affected, though of
course the output will appear to step if the Once per second value is used.

MAXRANGE
Direction
Analyzer: bidirectional; 1/0 module: Input
Binding
MAXRANGE
Type Floating
point
Value range
0 - 1,000,000
Units ppm
Description
The maximum range that the analyzer physics is capable of measuring.
Usage
This value is set in the manufacturing data screens, and is used to limit the range
high end selection in the expert set up screens. This value should only be changed if
the physics is changed so as to support the new value.
This is an input to the 1/0 module for informational purposes only.

MINRANGE
RNGHI
MCHECKTIME
Direction Output
Binding
None
Type Integer
Value range
0-600
Units Seconds
Description
NDIR only; the remaining time during the present phase of a modulation check.
Usage
Used to indicate how much longer any given phase of the modulation check will last.

MEAS_STAT
Type Enumerated
Value range
READY; MEASURING; ABORTED; WRONG RANGE!; TIMED OUT
Units None
Description
Reports what the analyzer is currently doing - or has done - in the self linearization
process.
Usage
Used to give feedback to the user.
