2、, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification provides the requirements for design,construction, performa

3、nce, and testing of solid state bargraph-type indicating meters.1.2 The solid state bargraph meters covered by this speci-fication are intended for use in shipboard applications ofelectrical measurement. This specification covers the require-ments and quality assurance provisions for solid state, pa

8、meter, nmeter with display mode char-acterized by a sequentially illuminated string of LEDs startingat the center scale zero position and extending in eitherdirection from zero, proportional to the polarity and magnitudeof the input signal.3.1.3 dual bargraph display, ntwo completely indepen-dent ba

9、rgraph displays included in a single enclosure.3.1.4 end-scale value, nthe value of the actuating electri-cal quantity that corresponds to end scale indication. Whenzero is not at the end or at the electrical center of the scale, thehigher value is used. See Table 1.3.1.5 end-zero meter, nmeter with

10、 display mode charac-terized by a sequentially illuminated string of LEDs startingfrom a zero point, normally at the left for switchboard-stylemeters or horizontally installed edgewise meters, or the bottomof vertically installed edgewise meters, that extends in thedirection of full-scale value.3.1.

11、6 full-scale value, nfull-scale value is the largestvalue of the actuating electrical quantity, which can be indi-cated on the scale. For instruments with zero between the endsof the scale, the full-scale value is the arithmetic sum of thevalues of the actuating electrical quantity corresponding to

12、thetwo ends of the scale.3.1.7 response time, nthe response time is the timerequired for the indicating means to display a new value aftera step change has occurred in the measured quantity to a newconstant value.3.1.8 scale division, na scale division is the incrementbetween the centers of two cons

13、ecutive scale marks. Thenumber of scale marks is one more than the number of scaledivisions. For example, 10 scale divisions require 11 scalemarks.3.1.8.1 linear scale divisions, nlinear scale divisions arescale divisions that are spaced an equal distance apart and ofthe same value, for example, sca
