Continuous operating conditions
Are characterised by numerical values of the individual variables with which the system can be operated without interruption (CETOP RP 100).
Code
Agreed code for the translation of information available in a stipulated form into a different form while maintaining the information content. A code can also be a code for an agreed character set tha
Bourdon tube
Measuring element for pressure gauges. This is a tube bent into a circular shape mostly with an oval cross-section that is clamped at one end. If pressure is introduced to the tube the free end moves
Binary system
Process for the representation of decimal numbers as binary numbers (dual numbers) and vice versa. Example: (diagram)
Instruction
Statement containing what is to be done with which data. There are computational instructions, control and transmission instructions, as well as instructions to the peripherals. They usually comprise
Output device
Implementation of output elements and/or an output unit in a device (DIN 19 237).
Analogue signal
Signal on which a continuous value range for the signal parameter is assigned different information point by point (Figure A 18) (DIN 19 226).
Correcting range
Range within which the correcting variable can be adjusted (DIN 19 226).
Friction losses
The energy irreversibly converted due to the friction, which is removed from the system in the form of heat. In fluid technology, these losses occur due to friction as a result of the viscosity of the
Measuring amplifier
Device which amplifies the mostly very weak during electrical measuring procedures (e.g. 2 mV/V bridge voltage for strain gauges) to a level required for the purposes of display or further processing.
