Square Root on a SLC 500 help 1

[JaredSweezey]

We need to create a program on a SLC 500. We need to know how to write a program to create a square root extractor on a SLC 500 without square root capibilities.

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

Depending on what it is to be used for a lookup might be enough. How accurate over what range does it have to be?
Or look at

Did it Work?

 

[JaredSweezey]

Yes Francis we got it to work. It worked with good resolution. We used math functions to convert a 4-20 ma signal into 0-250 inches of water column and then into 0-100% flow. The math functions we used gave us the square root capabilities.

Your help was greatly appreciated.
