Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the differences between PLC and PCL, specifically in the context of an unspecified instrument. Participants seek clarification on definitions and applications of both terms, with a focus on understanding their meanings as presented in a datasheet.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes that PCL indicates the time when the instrument integrates on the useful signal but seeks further definitions for both terms.
  • Several participants express frustration over the lack of context provided by the original poster (OP), asking for clarification on the specific instrument in question.
  • There is a suggestion that the difference may simply be a typographical error.
  • Another participant provides a link to a datasheet, indicating a specific page where the terms are discussed, implying that this may clarify the confusion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that more context is needed to address the question effectively. There is no consensus on the definitions of PLC and PCL, and multiple interpretations are suggested.

Contextual Notes

The discussion is limited by the OP's lack of specific information about the instrument and the definitions of PLC and PCL, which may depend on the context in which they are used.

The order of the letters?

Really, you'll have to give more context.

I found these tables in a datasheet. I do not understand difference between PLC and PCL. I know that PCL shows time when the instrument integrates on the useful signal but i would like other definitions of both of them

Please stop making us guess what you are asking about. What is the instrument? Can you provide a link to the soft copy of the datasheet (like at the manufacturer's website)?
 
Could be typo?
