Pressure Transmitter (Current)

Description

The pressure transmitter current sensor is one of two ways of measuring pressure from a range of different interfaces. The pressure transmitter current sensor will output current based on a pressure in the air in processing and has a standard measurement tools for recording the pressure.

To see the pressure transmitter current measurement tools read more about them here:

Name

Name specifies the name of the block.

Manufacturer

Manufacturer is an optional specification you can write.

Model

Model is an optional specification you can write.

Serial Number

Serial Number is an optional specification you can write.

Internal Number

Internal Number is an optional specification you can write.

Range upper

Range upper is the upper limit of pressure that the sensor can measure

Range lower

Range lower is the lower limit of pressure that the sensor can measure

Maximum output

Maximum output is the maximum current the sensor can output at the upper range

Minimum output

Minimum output is the minimum current the sensor can output at the lower range

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is the input sensitivity of the pressure transmitter. It is default calculated based on the range and output but can manually be changed dependent if desired.

Calibration date

Calibration date is last date where the sensitivity has been changed

Non-linear Correction

Non linear Correction is a post calibration from Pa/Pa which corrects any deviations from the sensor. Default this does not do anything, but you have the option to use up to a third-degree polynomial to correct any sensor deviations. Use the coefficients below to apply it.
