Method Name: methodCharacterization

Method ID: 0x4088

Method Label: Custom / Standard Characterization

Method Help: Control valves are often characterized to give a specific relationship between flow capacity (Cv) and percent opening of the valve. The valve can be characterized with special purpose trim or with the SVI2AP positioner. Selecting Custom Configuration displays an additional screen where the user can enter a custom characterization curve to fit his/her needs. The curve can have up to 9 points and points in between are linearly interpolated.
