B-series Operation
B - 9
Auto Exit
The flow meter has a built in
Auto Exit
timer that will return the meter to
Run Mode
from
any of the user modes if there has been no user input for more than 3 minutes. If the
user placed the meter in
Program Mode
and made changes and didn’t return the meter
to
Run Mode
, the meter will save the changes to EEPROM before returning to
Run Mode
after 3 minutes of no user activity.
Entering Data
Data is entered using the numeric (
0-9
), minus (
-
) and decimal (
.
) keys for floating point
or integer parameters. After the value is entered, the
E
key is pressed to accept the
entry. When entering data, the
D
key will clear one character to the left, similar to the
backspace key on a computer keyboard. The
C
key will clear the entire value and restart
the entry of the value at the first digit.
For parameters with a selection list, the up arrow (
^
)
and down arrow
(
v
) keys are used
to scroll the list to the desired value. When the desired list value is displayed, the
E
key
is pressed to accept the entry.
String/text parameters are entered using the numeric keys similar to entering a text
message on a cellular phone. Alphabetic characters and special characters (eg <,>,%,
etc) are mapped to the numeric keys as follows:

The alphabetic and special characters are entered by repeated pressing of the
corresponding numeric key. When the desired character is displayed, the
E
key is
pressed to accept the character and advance the cursor to the right. During text input
mode, a cursor is visible to indicate the current character entry position on the display.
As with numeric entry, the
D
key will clear one character to the left and the
C
key will
clear the entire string and restart text input at the first character of the string.
