To set up a 6-channel bar graph screen:
1. Enter the parameter handle of the first register you want to display on
the screen, then press ENTER. If you want to keep the register that is
currently in use, press the button labeled KEEP PREVIOUS. Repeat this
step for the remaining 5 registers.
2. The next value you are prompted for is the minimum value attained by
the first register in the display. If you have linked the first register you
are displaying to a Minimum module, you can display that minimum
value on your bar graph. To do so, enter the handle of the appropriate
Minimum module output register, then press ENTER. If you have not
linked to a Minimum module, just press ENTER to continue.
3. Next, you are prompted for the maximum value attained by the first
register in the display. If you have linked the first register you are
displaying to a Maximum module, you can display that maximum value
on your bar graph. To do so, enter the handle of the appropriate
Maximum module output register, then press ENTER. If you have not
linked to a Maximum module, just press ENTER to continue.
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining 5 registers that you want to
display. If at any point you want to return to the main menu, press the
ESC button.
6. Enter the minimum boundary for the bar graph scale for the first three
registers, then press ENTER. Note that this value should be the lowest
value you expect any of these registers to attain.
7. Enter the maximum boundary for the bar graph scale for the first three
registers, then press ENTER. Note that this value should be the highest
value you expect any of these registers to attain. Enter the minimum
boundary for the bar graph scale for the second three registers, then
press ENTER
8. Enter the maximum boundary for the bar graph scale for the second
three registers, then press ENTER.
9. You are prompted to specify if you want to display min and max bars on
the bar graph. If you specified parameter handles in steps 2 or 3 and
you want to display these values, select 1, then press ENTER. If you have
not linked to any Minimum or Maximum modules, or you do not want to
display these values, select 0 and press ENTER.
10. Next, you are prompted for a title for the top three bar graphs (Title 1).
Enter a title of up to 9 characters, then press the ENTER button.
11. Next, you are prompted for a title for the bottom three bar graphs (Title
2). Enter a title of up to 9 characters, then press the ENTER button.
Parameter Function
7 = min for parameter 1
8 = max for parameter 1
9 = min for parameter 2
10 = min for parameter 2
11 = min for parameter 3
12 = max for parameter 3
13 = min for parameter 4
14 = max for parameter 4
15 = min for parameter 5

The closer together your
min and max values are, the
more pronounced your
graph’s response will be to
changes in the register
value.
