Trends can be zoned into two different areas to allow for higher resolution on one end of the recorded span. The recorded area used on the chart for a trend may not necessarily use the entire area available for recording.

Engineering unit values are printed next to the corresponding scale lines. The ZONE 1 LOW DIVISION param- eter in RECORDERS section of CONFIGURATION specifies the position on the chart corresponding to the bottom of zone 1 and the ZONE 1 HIGH DIVISION parameter specifies the position on the chart corresponding to the top of zone 1 (and the bottom of zone 2 if zone 2 is used). The ZONE 2 HIGH DIVISION parameter specifies the position on the chart corresponding to the top of zone 2, with zero specifying that zone 2 is not used.

The SPAN 1 LOW parameter specifies the value corresponding to the bottom of zone 1 and SPAN 1 HIGH parameter specifies the value corresponding to the top of zone 1 and bottom of zone 2 (if used). The SPAN 2 HIGH parameter specifies the value corresponding to the top of zone 2. If the zone 2 parameter is zero, zone 2 is inactive or not used.

The DIVISION parameters specify location relative to the CHART DIVISIONS parameter (or number of chart rings), which corresponds to the usable recording span of the chart.

The SCALE INTERVAL parameters specify the number of divisions between printed scale values. The values printed are calculated by the instrument. If the SCALE INTERVAL parameter is zero, no scale is printed, but the recorder tag will be printed.

Values corresponding to the bottom of the recordable area are located slightly upscale so that they are printable. Values corresponding to the top of the recordable area are located slightly downscale so that they do not interfere with the time and date. All other values are centered vertically on the corresponding concentric circle.

The UNITS that are configured for display are printed next to the outermost scale value.

The RECORDER TAG for each recorded trend is printed underneath the outermost scale value.

The CHART TAG, time, and date are printed just beyond the recording area, at successive major time lines as follows:

On 10" and 12" Charts:

 

 

 

CHART TAG

TIME

DATE

TIME

On 11" Charts:

The color of the scale line, scale values, units, and recorder tag always correspond to the trend for which they apply.

The color of the major time lines, minor time lines, time, and date/chart tag are each programmable.

3.8.1 CHART PRINTING INTERRUPTIONS

When chart printing is interrupted momentarily, the printing resumes as though no interruption had occurred.

If the interruption lasts beyond the point at which data should have been printed, the chart will advance to the appropriate point, printing minor and major time lines as needed, and resume trending.

If the interruption lasts long enough such that no data would be printed between successive major time divisions, the divisions will not be printed.

When power is restored, the chart is marked with an arrow (" ") to indicate the point of power interuption.
