Quick start with ProLink II
When you enable sensor simulation, the simulated values are stored in the same memory locations
used for process data from the sensor. Therefore, the simulated values will be used throughout
transmitter functioning. For example, sensor simulation will affect:
• All mass flow, temperature, or density values shown on the display or reported via outputs
or digital communications
• The mass total and mass inventory values
• All volume calculations and data, including reported values, volume totals, and volume inventories
• All mass, temperature, density, or volume values logged to Data Logger
Sensor simulation does not affect any diagnostic values.
Unlike actual mass flow and density values, the simulated values are not temperature-compensated
(adjusted for the effect of temperature on the sensor’s flow tubes).
Important
Do not enable sensor simulation unless your process can tolerate the effects of the simulated process
values.
