78 cHAPTER 5: Advanced Operation
Model 335 Temperature Controller
Breakpoint setting resolution is six digits in temperature. Most temperature values
are entered with 0.001 resolution. Temperature values of 1000 K and greater can be
entered to 0.01 resolution. Temperature values below 10 K can be entered with
0.00001 resolution. Temperature range for curve entry is 0K to 9999.99 K.

Setting resolution is also six digits in sensor units. The curve format parameter
defines the range and resolution in sensor units as shown in TABLE 5-3. The sensor
type determines the practical setting resolution. TABLE 5-4 lists recommended sen-
sor units resolutions.
The breakpoints should be entered with the sensor units value increasing as point
numb
er increases. There should not be any breakpoint locations left blank in the mid-
dle of a curve. The search routine in the Model 335 inte
rprets a blank breakpoint as
the end of the curve.
5.9 Front Panel
Curve Entry
Operations
There are four operations associated with front panel curve entry: Edit Curve, Erase
Curve, Copy Curve, and SoftCal, as detailed in TABLE 5-5.
Front panel curve entry operations
Operation Description Refer to section:
Edit Curve
Edit allows the user to view any curve and enter or edit a curve at any
user curve lo
cation. Standard curves cannot be changed.
5.9.1
Erase Curve
Erase allows the user to delete a curve from any user curve location.
S
tandard curves cannot be erased.
5.9.2
Copy Curve
Copy allows the user to copy a curve
from any location to any user
curve location. Curves cannot be copied into standard curve locations.
5.9.3
SoftCal
Allows creation of a new temperature curve from a st
andard curve and
known data points entered by the user.

5.9.1 Edit Curve
The Edit Curve operation is used to enter a new curve or edit an existing user curve.
Only user curves (21 to 59) can be edited. Entering the identification parameters
associated with the curve is as important as entering the breakpoints. Curve header
parameters are listed in TABLE 5-3. Typical curve parameters for common sensors are
listed in TABLE 5-4. Read this section completely and gather all necessary data before
beginning the process.
