display value directly by the number keys; For the pressure transmitter, the standard source display value can be
directly obtained through the external pressure module. In this case, click the Get icon on the calibration page to
get the standard value of the pressure module directly.
Note: For some transmitters, it is not needed to input the adjustment value, the transmitter automatically uses the upper and lower
limits of the range (the lower limit of the range corresponds to the lower point adjustment value, and the upper limit of the range
corresponds to the upper point adjustment value) as the adjustment value. In this case, just input any value;
(2) Execute the Trim command. After that, the PV value will change according to the trimmed point value.
 Upper point adjustment
Same as the lower point adjustment.
 Single point adjustment
Same as the lower point adjustment.
 Restore to factory setting
After selecting "Restore Factory", there will come to ask "Are you sure to perform this operation?", click OK to continue.
After that, the transmitter's lower and upper points values will be restored to the factory setting.
Note: The current loop test and D/A adjustment is only available when the transmitter address is 0.
Note: The sensor adjustment provides corresponding support items according to the transmitter function.
Note: If the HART transmitter used does not have all the above functions, contact the manufacturer.

3.5.8 Ramp output
The three electrical output features of voltage, current, and frequency of the calibrator and the two simulate
temperature output features of simulate thermocouple and simulate thermal resistance all support automatic ramp output
mode. The Ramp can increase or decrease the output value smoothly and continuously. In fact, a small step value is used
to form a Ramp signal, which is represented by a Ramp gradient in the calibrator. The calibrator will automatically
calculate the Ramp gradient according to the setting start and end values of the Ramp and the rise and fall time. When the
start value and end value are fixed, the longer the ramp time, the slower the ramp output and the smaller the ramp
gradient.
A complete ramp output stroke includes an up stroke (from the start value ramp to the end value) and a down stroke
(from the end value ramp to the start value), when the rise time and fall time are the same, the actual output points of the
up stroke and the down stroke are symmetrical one by one. Click icon to select ramp output and go to the settings, as

7.7.3 The operation of data logging


For more intuitive display and convenient operation, the record operation interface is divided into three functional areas:
data logging curve display area, channel information display area (or data logging operation area) and record operation
information display area.
1. Data record curve display area
♦ The abscissa is the time, which will be automatically adjusted according to the time of the logging operation
♦ The ordinate is the data, which will be automatically adjusted according to the range of recorded data values.
When the curve shows only one channel, only the left vertical axis is displayed, and the axis scale is the engineering
unit of the corresponding channel;
When the curve shows only two channels, the left and right vertical axes are displayed at the same time, and the axis
scale is the engineering unit of the corresponding channel;
When the curve display has three or more channels, only the left vertical axis is displayed, and the axis scale is
percentage. The real-time data of each channel is converted into percentage data according to the recorded
minimum and maximum values for curve display.
♦ Click on the curve area to switch the channel information display area to the data logging operation display area;
2. Channel information display area

90
♦ Display the real-time data and statistical information of each logging channel (maximum, minimum, average, peak
and standard deviation)
♦ Click on the channel to control the display or hiding of the channel in the curve. If the channel is set to hide, the
display color of the channel data text will change to white (using dark theme);
♦ The display area can only show up to two channels at the same time. When the number of channels exceeds two,
you can switch to other channel display by sliding left and right:
3. Record operation information display area
Click the data record curve display area to open the record data operation display area. The recorded data operation
display is divided into three modes: eye pattern mode (default), analysis mode, and following mode.
♦ Eye pattern mode:
The eye pattern mode is the normal data operation mode, and its data curve is drawn by the data of the whole period
of operation.
♦ Analysis mode:
The analysis mode mainly analyzes the data of certain period time on the curve in the data logging and view the
statistical information of the corresponding channel (view through the channel information display area). In the
analysis mode, you can operate the operable buttons in the logging data display area (Move left/right, zoom in/out,
full record time, window time) to move the curve, and then operating the data segment selection axis operation
buttons (X1, X2) to select the data area to analyze and click the return button to view data statistics of each channel.
♦ Following Mode:
The following mode is based on the time width of the current window, when the curve runs to the end of the curve
frame, the start time in the data image will automatically change, so that the image curve can show the latest running
status. You can adjust the width of the display time axis to display the curve in data logging operation area.
