DigitalFlow™ XGS868i Programming Manual

1.9 Entering Global Data

The

Global

menu is used to enter information that is not specific to either of the individual channels. Information

programmed via this menu is used to compute parameters such as the sum, difference or average of the channel 1 and
channel 2 signals (for a 2-Channel meter). In addition, several general system parameters may be entered in the

Global

menu.

IMPORTANT:

When calculating the sum, difference or average readouts, data from the

Global-System

submenu is used.

Any conflicting data entered in the

Channelx-System

submenu is overridden.

The following submenus are included in the

Global

menu:

•

SYSTM

- use to specify the units of measure used in calculations (see the next page).

•

I/O

- used to set up error handling and to configure analog inputs and outputs (see page 23).

•

COMM

- used to set up the serial communications port (see page 36).

Based on the selection made above, proceed to the appropriate section of this chapter for instructions. While following
the programming instructions, refer to Figure 30 on page 79. Remember to record all programmed data in Appendix B,

Data Records
