5.3 Meter Output
Meter Output determines what will control the mode of operation to be used for a test. Click on the arrow at
the right of the box to display the drop-down menu. Select from one of the following modes of operation:
• UC (Uncorrected): No correction is made for temperature or pressure. If using an
Optical Scanner for test control, it will read the non-comp volume dial.
• TC (Temperature Corrected): A correction is made for temperature. If using an Optical
Scanner for test control, it will read the Temperature Compensated Volume odometer dial.
• PC (Pressure Corrected): A correction is made for pressure. If using an Optical Scanner
for test control, it will read the pressure Corrected Volume dial.
• PCTC (Pressure and Temperature Corrected): A correction is made for both pressure
and temperature. If using an Optical Scanner for test control, it will read the Pressure and
Temperature Corrected volume dial.
If you choose TC or PCTC additional information will appear in the window labeled TC Options.
Use the mouse and highlight the desired item on the list. TC Options are described below.
TC options, when English units of measure are the default, include the following:
• Diaphragm TC: Click on Diaphragm TC when testing a diaphragm meter.
• ROOTS Mechanical TC: Click on ROOTS Mechanical TC when testing a ROOTS Meter
that is smaller than a 16M size.
• 16M Only ROOTS Mechanical TC: Click on ROOTS Mechanical TC when testing a
16M175 ROOTS Meter.
• ROOTS Electronic VTC: Click on ROOTS Electronic VTC when testing the ROOTS VTC.
• ROOTS Electronic IMC: Click on ROOTS Electronic IMC when testing the ROOTS IMC.
