Date A date that can be used however you want. The preferred format is
dd MMM yyyy (e.g. 14 NOV 2001). The program also accepts dates
formatted as dd/mm/yy (e.g. 14/11/01). Years greater than 70 are
assumed to be in the 1900's with years 70 or less assumed to be in
the 2000's. The day precedes the month. Dates as dd/mm/yyyy are
also accepted. The value appears in many views but can only be
changed from the “Configure Tab” on page 571 or with commands
sent from the Monitor tab.
Assembly Number A user assigned number value may be between 0 and 16,777,215.
The value is displayed in many views but can only be changed from
the “Configure Tab” on page 571 or with commands sent from the
Monitor tab.
Status The SVI tracks some errors and fault conditions. When there is infor-
mation on fault codes available in the SVI, this box contains Read
Additional Status.
Signal The value of the input signal expressed as the position it indicates. It
is scaled in percent and is characterized if necessary.
Position The current position of the valve in percent open. 0% is always closed
and 100% is open. Because the travel of a valve may exceed its nom-
inal travel, positions greater than 100% are possible (see Open Stop
Adjustment on the “Calibrate Tab” on page 581).
Setpoint When in operating mode, the setpoint is the position indicated by the
input signal (characterized if necessary).
In manual mode, it is the position to which the SVI is controlling the
valve. The manual setpoint may be changed by dragging the lower
Thumb on the position indicator.
Position Indicator This indicator shows the valve position graphically. The indicator
consists of three parts:
 The upper part contains an indicator that shows the value of
the signal. In Operating mode this is the position setpoint. In
Manual mode. this is the position that the valve moves to if
operating mode is selected.
 The center green bar shows the valve position with full left as
closed and full right as open. The numerical valve position is
shown in the center.
 The lower part contains an indicator (thumb)that shows the
valve setpoint. In Operating mode this is the same as the
signal. In Manual mode it is the valve setpoint. You can drag
the thumb to change the valve setpoint. While dragging. the
number in the center bar shows the manual setpoint that will
be selected when you release the thumb.
