Process Variable Offset
The Process variable offset is used to modify the measured process variable value. Use this
parameter to compensate for errors in the displayed process variable. Positive values are
added to the process variable reading, negative values are subtracted. Caution: This
parameter is in effect, a calibration adjustment; it must be used with care. Injudicious use
could lead to the displayed value bearing no meaningful relationship to the actual process
variable. There is no front panel indication of when this parameter is in use.
Settings = ±input span Default Value = Off.
Also refer to: Input Span and Process Variable.
Profile Control Menu
If the Profiler option is fitted, a Profile Control menu is available from the Main Menu. It allows
the user to select or run a profile, and then control that profile (run, hold, abort, skip to next
segment etc.).

Profile Events
Events are outputs that can be made active during profile segments. There are 5 possible
events, each of which can be defined to be active or inactive for the duration of each
segment, from the Profile Setup Menu. For end segments, events selected to be active stay
on until the unit is powered down or a new profile runs. It is possible to link event outputs to
certain alarm outputs in a logical AND situation.
