Figure 2-35 4-20 mA % Scale display
The analog bar graph displays the current measurement
value. (In the example above, 24 mA is represented as 125%
in the 4- 20 mA % scale.)
You can change the % scale range (4- 20 mA or 0- 20 mA) by
accessing the multimeter’s setup. See “Changing the % scale
range” on page 118 for more information.
Use the % scale with a pressure transmitter, a valve
positioner, or other output actuators to measure pressure,
temperature, flow, pH, or other process variables.
