Fault Detection Drive:
Determine maximum
input travel outside engineering range before an
error is detected. E.g. for a 0 to 300°F range, a
10% fault level will trigger at 330°F.
Input Filter:
Adjust the instrument response time
from 0 to 60 seconds in one second increments
to reduce pen jump & dampen out noisy signals.
