VT1415A/1422A VT1415A/1422A
To calculate accuracy over temperature range outside the
±1 °C range, results after *CAL are given by replacing each of
the above error terms as follows:
Replace
(GainError)2
with
(GainError)2 + (GainTempco)2
Replace
(OffsetError)2
with
(OffsetError)2 + (OffsetTempco)2
Loop Control Specifications
Number of loops:
1 to 32
Default control
PID
algorithm type:
Maximum VT1415A loop update rate
for default PID algorithm:
(Note: VT1422A maximum sample rate is 25 kSamples/s,
compared to 56 kSa/s for the VT1415A. The loop
speeds of the VT1422A are reduced in same ratio.)
1 loop: 3 kHz
8 loops: 1 kHz
32 loops: 250 Hz
Custom algorithm development:
Language: Subset of C programming
language including if-
then-else, most math and
comparison operations.
Variable types: Scalar local and global
variables, array local and
global variables.
Intrinsic functions: interrupt( ), writefifo( ),
writecvt( ),writeboth( ),
min( ), max( ), abs( ).
Other functions: Create own custom
functions to handle
transcendental operations.

I/O General
