Input   type,   range   of   displaying   values,   characteristic   of   conversion,     decimal   point

position   and   measure   filtering   ratio,   are   user   configurable   parameters.   All   accessible
parameters can be changed by entering the menu (see: 

DEVICE PROGRAMMING

). Use the

local keyboard or the remote controller to do it. (Note: all parameters can be remote changed

via RS-485  interface).

Configuration of  the device  (via menu or RS 485 interface)

 DETECTION OF THE PEAK VALUES

The 

STI-94 

controller is equipped with peaks detection function. It can detect a peaks of

the input signal and display their values. Presets connected with this function are placed in

“HOLd” 

menu (see description of 

“HOLd” menu

). The detection of the peak can be done if

the measured signal raises and drops of value at least equal to parameter  

“PEA”

. Detected

peaks   are  displayed   during   the  time   defined   by parameter  

“timE”

.  If  a  new peak   will  be

detected while one is displayed, this new peak will be displayed and display time counter will
be cleared

 

(Figure 6.1). If no peaks are detected while time 

“timE” 

elapses

,

 device starts to

show   the   current   value   of   input   signal   again.  

If  

“HdiS”

=

“HOLD”

  then   setting   parameter

“timE”

=

0.0

 causes holding peak value until 

[ESC]

 button is pressed.

 

If 

“HdiS”

=

“rEAL”

 then

value 

“timE”

=

0.0

 means no holding. Displaying peak value is signalized by flashing most right

decimal point.

The relays/LEDs and the analogue output can be controlled depend on the current value

of input signal or the peak value (see 

HOLd” menu

).
