4.8.2 The Curve Algorithm Screen

The Curve Algorithm is a linearization method. It provides from 1 to 9

intermediate points between the ZERO and SPAN values, which can be normal-
ized during calibration, to ensure a straight-line input/output transfer function
through the analyzer.

Each range is linearized individually, as necessary, since each range will

usually have a totally different linearization requirement. Before setting the
algorithm curve, each range must be Zeroed and Spanned.

To linearize the ranges, you must first perform the four steps indicated at

the beginning of section 4.8 Programming. You will then be in the second

System

menu screen.

VERIFY SETUP

Select and

Enter

VERIFY to check whether the linearization has been

accomplished satisfactorily.

Dpt INPUT OUTPUT
Ш Ш.ШШ Ш.ШШ

The leftmost digit (under Dpt) is the number of the data point being moni-

tored. Use the

Δ∇ keys to select the successive points.

The INPUT value is the input to the linearizer. It is the simulated output of

the analyzer. You do not need to actually flow gas.

The OUTPUT value is the output of the linearizer. It should be the ACTU-

AL concentration of the span gas being simulated.
