Analog Signal Resolution

Engineering units per ADC count and per milliamp of a 16 mA live span.

Instrumentation & Controls

Engineering units per ADC count and per milliamp of a 16 mA live span.

App id: INST-36. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

EU/count = EU_span / count_span;  EU/mA = EU_span / 16

Inputs

NameUnit
EU lowerpsi
EU upperpsi
Count lower (optional)1
Count upper (optional)1

Outputs

NameUnit
EU per count (hero result)psi
EU per mApsi
Engineering spanpsi

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • EU/count and EU/mA are displayed in the engineering pressure unit.

Provenance

  • Default count span is 12-bit unipolar (0–4095). EU/mA always uses a 16 mA live span.
