C.6.1c  Programming mass flow data

1.  Double-click on the desired mass flow units for flow rate 

display. The options are listed in 

Table 20

 below.

Table 20: Available mass flow units

English

Metric

Pounds

Kilograms

KiloPounds (thousands of 

pounds)

Tonne = metric tons  

(1000 KG)

MillionPounds

TONS (2000 LB)

2.  Double-click on the desired 

mass flow

 time units  

(from seconds to days).

3.  Double-click on the desired number of 

MDOT dec.digits

 

(digits to the right of the decimal point) in the mass flow 

rate display.

4.  Double-click on the desired 

mass totalizer units

.  

The available units for the totalized mass flow rate 

display are listed in 

Table 20

 below.

5.  Double-click on the desired number of 

mass decimal 

digits

 (digits to the right of the decimal point) in the 

totalized mass flow rate display.

The XGF868i returns to the global 

program

 window.  

Click [exit page] to return to the 

site edit menu

You have completed entering selections in this option.  

The program returns to the global 

program

 menu. 

C.6.2  Setting up inputs and outputs

Set up the XGF868i inputs and outputs via the I/O submenu. 

While following the programming instructions, see 

Figure 

58 on page 83 

in 

Appendix D, PanaView menu maps

Remember to record all programmed data in 

Appendix B. 

Data records on page 45

. The I/O submenu consists of the 

following options:
• 

Error handling

 - program the meter’s response  

during an error condition

• 

Options

 - set up any option cards and the slot 0  

analog outputs

• 

Display

 - set up the LCD display. To enter the I/O submenu:

1.  In the 

site data menu

, double-click on the global entry.

2.  Highlight and double-click on the 

input/output

 option in 

the center pane.

NOTE: 

In this section, 

slot 1

 appears as an option only 

 if a suitable option card is installed in slot 1.

C.6.2a  Setting up error handling

This menu option lets you set how the XGF868i will handle 

the outputs for measurements and average (two-path) 

measurements during an error condition. See 

Chapter 2, 

Error codes

, in the 

Service manual

 for a discussion of the 

built-in error codes.
1.  From the input/output option, highlight and  

double-click on the 

error handling

 option in the  

center pane.

2.  Double-click on the desired error handling selection  

(as shown in 

Table 21

 and 

Table 22

 below).

a.  If you selected 

error level in mA

, enter the 

4-20 mA 

error level

 (the number of milliamps the analog output 

will put out during a fault condition). Enter a whole 

number between 0 and 22, and click [next item].

See 

Table 21

 an

Table 22 on page 66 

for a description  

of the error handling options available and how the 

totalizers and display respond to them for a single and 

 two-channel meter.
