Digital Span Selection For Bargraph Display

Brightness Selection

Bargraph does not light up for

Input Signals up to 3999 counts

Bargraph lights up for Input

Signals above 4000 counts

Example of Setting the Digital Span of the Bargraph Display

to be Different than the Digital Display Range

The bargraph can be set to display full scale (0-101 bars) any portion

of the digital reading from a minimum of 100 counts to a maximum of

12,000 counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for

those applications where the normal operating input signal range is less

than the desired full scale display range of the digital display.

For Example:

If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -1999 to

9999 (0-12,000 counts), but the normal operating range of the

input signal is between 4000 & 6000. The bargraph high param-

eter [bhi] can be set to 6000 and the bargraph low parameter [bLo]

can be set to 4000.

This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal

from -1999 to 9999 (0-12,000 counts), the bargraph display only

begins to function at a reading of 4000, and reaches full scale

indication at a reading of 6000. Although the digital display will

continue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bar-

graph display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings

above 6000.

STEP C Press the

button. Display toggles between [br] and the

previous brightness setting.

Set the Bargraph and Digital Display Brightness

1) Using the and buttons, adjust the display to the desired

brightness setting (4 is the brightest setting).

2) Press the

button. Display toggles between [Anhi] and the

previous [Anhi] setting.

Note: If at this point, the display skips directly to STEP G and toggles

between [Cto] and [oFF], the software is detecting that the optional analog

output hardware is NOT installed.

Texmate, Inc. Tel. (760) 598-9899 • www.texmate.comPage 6 May-29-2009 FL-B101D40H DS (FL8)

Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode

with a Unipolar Input

If the meter's full scale range is set to 5000 counts, the midpoint would be

2500 counts. If a signal of 2500 counts is applied only one segment at the

2500 count mark will light up. If a signal of 4000 counts is applied the seg-

ments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 4000 count mark

light up.

If a signal of 1000 counts is applied, the segments between the center seg-

ment (2500 counts) and the 1000 count mark will light up.

Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode

with Bipolar Signal Inputs

The meter may also be calibrated to display symmetrical bipolar signals such

as ± 1 V or ± 10 V. When the center point display mode is selected, it will then

function as a center zero meter. When positive signals are applied, the bar

will go up from the center point, and when negative signals are applied, the

bar will go down from the center point.

STEP D Selecting the [Anhi] Digital Value for Analog High Output

1) Using the and buttons, adjust the display to the desired

digital value at which the [chi] Calibrated Analog High output will

occur. For digital readings outside the digital span selected, the

analog output will linearly rise above the value set for chi, up to the

maximum analog output capability. However, the analog output will

not go lower than the calibrated value set for cLo (see below).

2) Press the button.

Display toggles between [AnLo] and previous

[AnLo] setting.

STEP E Selecting the [AnLo] Digital Value for Analog Low Output

1) Using the and buttons, adjust the display to the desired

digital value at which the [cLo] Calibrated Analog Low output will

occur. For Digital readings outside the Digital Span selected, the

analog output will not go lower than the calibrated value set for cLo.

2) Press the button. The display toggles between [cto] and [oFF].

Note: Any two digital span points from –1999 to 9999 can be selected. The digital

values for [Anhi] analog high and [AnLo] analog low can be reversed to provide a 20 to

4mA output. The digital span selected can be as small as two counts, when using the

analog output to function as a Control or Alarm Driver. Small digital spans will cause

the high resolution 16 bit D to A to increment digitally in stair case steps.

See Two Point Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration at the top of the next page.

Digital Span Selection for Analog Range OutputDigital Span Selection for Analog Range Output

Bargraph Center Point Display Mode Selection

STEP F

Bargraph Center Point Mode Selection (See example above)

1) To select bargraph center point mode, press the or

button. Display changes from [oFF] to [on].

2) Press the button. Display toggles between [diSP] and [on]

or [oFF].

STEP G Digital Display ON/OFF Selection

1) To set the display to [oFF], press the or button. Display

toggles between [diSP] and [oFF].

2) Press the button. The display exits the calibration mode

and returns to the operational display. Only the bargraph

display is on and the digital display is off.

If the digital display is selected to be off, pressing any button to

make programming changes or to view setpoints activates the digital display.

When the procedure is complete, the digital display will then automatically

switch off.

The Display/Bargraph settings are now complete.

Determine if the Analog Output Selection Header is in the 4 to 20mA (0-

20mA) position or the 0 to 10VDC position. If necessary, the module may

have to be removed and the header position changed (see Component

Layout below).

Note: Always disconnect power from the meter before removing the ana-

log output module to adjust the mA or Volts output selection header and

reinstalling it. When power is reconnected, the meter’s software will auto-

matically detect the presence or absence of the analog output module.

STEP A Enter the Calibration Mode

Press the and buttons at the same time. Display

toggles between [cAL] and [oFF].

Press the or button. Display changes from [oFF] to [on].

Press the button. Display toggles between [cAL] and

[out] input calibration.

Note: If at this point the display skips directly to toggle between Zero and

the previous Zero setting, the software is detecting that the optional ana-

log output hardware is NOT installed.

STEP B Enter theTwo Point Analog [ouT] Output Range Setting and

Calibration Mode

Press the button. Display toggles between [cLo] and an

internal scale factor.

STEP E Set or Calibrate [cLo] the Low Analog Value of the

Analog Output Range

Connect a multimeter to analog output pins 17 and 18 (see

Rear Panel Pinouts on page 10). Using the and buttons,

adjust the analog output to the desired low value as measured

on the multimeter. cLo may be adjusted to any value from –0.3

mA to 18 mA (mA output selected) or from –0.6 V to 8 V (volt

output selected). However, the output of cLo must always be

less than the value selected for chi. If a reversed analog output

is desired, the values selected to establish the Digital Span can

be reversed (see top of page 6). For digital readings outside the

Digital Span selected, the analog output will not go any lower

than the calibrated value set for cLo. However, the analog out-

put will linearly rise above the value set for chi, up to the the

maximum analog output capability (see chi below).

Press the button. Display toggles between [chi] and an

internal scale factor.

STEP F Set or Calibrate [chi] the High Analog Value of the

Analog Output Range

1) Using the and buttons, adjust the analog output to

the desired high value as measured on the multimeter dis-

play. chi may be adjusted to any value from 18 mA to 24 mA

(mA output) or from 8 V to 10.3 V (volt output). However, the

value must be higher than the value selected for cLo. For

digital readings outside the Digital Span selected, the ana-

log output will linearly rise above the value set for chi, up to

the maximum analog output capability.

2) Press the button. The meter exits the calibration

mode and returns to the operational display.

Note: The analog output range established by the values selected for

cLo and chi will occur, automatically scaled, between the two digital

values selected for AnHi and AnLo. However, the analog output can

linearly rise above the chi value set for digital readings outside the

digital span selected. See Digital Span Selection on page 6.

To comply with the latest safety requirements, the tri-color bargraph is designed like a traffic light, to

display either red, orange or green, but only one color at a time. When the bar reaches a selected

color change point, the entire bar will change to the color designated for that zone. This eliminates any

ambiguity as to the signal status, especially just after transitioning to a new zone.

First (Step Q) is to select the color to be displayed, when the bar is “below*”, whichever set point is set

to the lowest position.

Second (Steps R, S, T, and U) is to select the color to be displayed when the bar is above each specific

set point, regardless of the order or position to which the set points are set.

However, if two or more setpoints with differently specified colors are positioned at the same set point

value, the color specified for the set point with the highest identifying number will be displayed. When set

points are set to the same value, the SP4 color overrides the SP3 color, the SP3 color overrides the SP2

color, and the SP2 color overrides the SP1 color.

STEP Q Select Bargraph Color when the bar is BELOW* the Setpoint that is set to the lowest

position
