8. Examples:
8.1 Temperature measurement
A temperature sensor with linear charac-
teristic (non-linear sensors, e.g. thermo-
couples need to be linearized) supplies
0V at -10°C [14°F] and 10V at 80°C
[176°F]. 0 – 10V is chosen as input
range.
Assign -10 as "displayed value at min.
input signal" to the lo west input level (0V)
and 80 as "displayed value at max. input
signal" (10V). The device is now tuned to
the sensor, and measurement values and
their corresponding display values in bet -
ween are calculated.
Displayed value can be freely
adjusted to the input value inside
the display range.

8.2 Level measurement
A level sensor with linear characteristic
(non-linear sen sors ha ve to be li nea ri zed)
supplies 19 mA at full tank and 5 mA at
empty tank. If the tank is filled up, 10 m 3
should be displayed and if the tank is
empty 0 m 3 should be displayed.
4 – 20 mA is chosen as input range.
Assign 0 as "displayed value at min. input
signal" to the lo west input level (5 mA)
and 10 as "displayed value at max. input
signal" (19 mA). The device is now tu ned
to the sensor, and measurement values
and their cor re spon ding display values in
bet ween are cal cu la ted.
8.3 Drawn quantity
Instead of the level, the drawn quantity
should be displayed.
Again 4 – 20 mA is chosen as input
range. Assign 10 as "displayed value at
min. input signal" to the lo west input level
(5 mA) and 0 as "displayed value at max.
input signal" (19 mA).
