Flow Tracker Series 1000/2000
Basic Operation
Operation of the Agilent Flow Tracker Series flowmeters is very
intuitive. The operating modes are explored in considerable
detail in the
Operating Modes section.
In general, each operating mode displays all of the parameters
that are associated with that mode of operation. Each
parameter has a button associated with it and is labeled either
by a “dynamic label” on the display, or, if it is a global parameter
(a parameter which is common to all modes) the associated
button is labeled directly. The two global parameters are GAS
and MODE.
Dynamically labeled parameters are either active or passive.
Active parameters are directly affected by the flow and are
constantly changing. These parameters can be moved to the
primary display by pushing the button associated with them.
Passive parameters are usually variables that require input
from the user. The buttons associated with passive parameters
are used to select the value of the variable.
A quick overview of the operating modes and their parameters
is given in
Table 1 , Table 2 , and Table 3 .
