Overview
Process variables provide information about the state of the process fluid, such as flow
rate, density, and temperature, as well as running totals. Process variables can also provide
data about flowmeter operation, such as drive gain and pickoff voltage. This information
can be used to understand and troubleshoot your process.
9.2.1 View process variables and other data using ProLink III
Monitor process variables, diagnostic variables, and other data to maintain process quality.
ProLink III automatically displays process variables, diagnostic variables, and other data on
