Modification of the Display Format for a Thermocouple or Thermoprobe Channel

At a Glance

This parameter defines the measurement display format for an analog module channel, for which the range is configured in thermocouple or thermoprobe.

The display format can be for a display in degrees Celsius or in degrees Fahrenheit, with possible short-circuit or open circuit display.

The display format can be:

Standardized, in which the scale is by default for the selected thermocouple or thermoprobe, defined in tenths of a degree (for example: -600 to +1100C for a Ni1000 probe) (1/10F or 1/10C),
User-defined, in which the default scale can be modified by the user.

Procedure

The table below shows the procedure for defining the scale assigned to an analog module channel.

Step	Action
1	Access the configuration screen of the required module.
2	Click in the cell of the Scale column of the channel to set. Result: an arrow appears.
3	Click on the arrow in the cell of the Scale column of the channel to set. Result : the Channel Parameters dialog box appears.
4	Check the Broken Wire Test box is you want to activate this function.
5	Select the temperature unit by checking °C or °F.
6	Check the Standardized box for a standardized display.
7	Validate the choice by closing the dialog box. Caution: if the default values have been selected (Standardized display), the corresponding cell in the Scale column shows %.. regardless of selected temperature unit. Otherwise it will show User (user display).
8	Validate the modification by clicking Edit → Confirm.
