Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter’s measurement algorithms to match the unique
traits of the sensor it is paired with. The characterization parameters (also called calibration parameters)
describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature. Depending on your sensor type,
different parameters are required. Values for your sensor are provided by Micro Motion on the sensor
tag or the calibration certificate.
Note
If your sensor and transmitter were ordered together, the transmitter has already been characterized at
the factory. However, you should still verify characterization parameters.
