Weighting factor
The weighting factor is used for transducers installed on the same pipe in order to compensate differences between the
measured values of the flow velocity of different channels.
The differences can be caused by profile deformations or transverse flows. These influences can be reduced by averaging
the measured values of several channels. If a channel has a temporarily malfunction, the average will change abruptly. In
order to avoid differences, all channels have to be adjusted with the weighting factor.
The weighting factor for the channel x results from the flow velocity v

and the average flow velocity of all channels v

Transducer temperature and transducer temperature violation as diagnostic value
When configuring outputs, the list items
Transducer temp.
and
Transd. temp. violat.
are available in the menu

Diagnostic values
. The diagnostic values can either be transmitted via the output of the transmitter or defined as
source of the event trigger. The diagnostic value
Transducer temp.
is available on physical channels only.
