Modifying the Display Format for a Thermocouple or Thermowell Channel

At a Glance

This parameter defines the display format for the measurement of an analog module channel whose range is configured as Thermocouple or Thermowell .

The available display formats are degrees Celsius (centigrade) or Fahrenheit, eventually with short-circuit or open circuit notification.

The display format may be:

Standardized, which corresponds to the default scale of the selected thermocouple or thermowell, as defined in tenths of degrees (for instance : -600 to +1100 °C for a Ni1000 probe) (1/10 °F or 1/10 °C),
user-defined (User).

Instructions

The following table provides step-by-step instructions defining the display scale assigned to an analog module channel whose range is configured as a Thermocouple or Thermowell.

Step	Action
1	Access the hardware configuration screen for the appropriate module.
2	Click in the cell of the Scale column for the channel you wish to configure. Result: an arrow appears.
3	Click on the arrow in the cell of the Scale column for the channel you wish to configure. Result: The Channel Parameters dialog box appears.
4	If necessary, check the Wiring Fault Control box to enable this function.
5	Select the temperature measuring unit by clicking °C or °F.
6	Check the Standardized box to select the standardized (or "normalized") display.
7	Close the dialog box to confirm your selection. Note : If default values have been selected (standardized display), the corresponding cell in the Scale column displays %.. whichever temperature unit was selected. If not, it displays the word User (user-defined display).
8	Validate the change with Edit → Validate.
