23  Description of Parameters

23.1  Setting the Measurement Place Parameters (Application Menu)

The >Measurement Place< submenu is one of the most important basic menus when it comes 

to parameter setting. The following basic settings are required to set the parameters of the 

measurement place:

•  Name of measurement place
•  Type and dimensions of canal profile 
•  Measurement medium and pipe material
•  Possibly fixed settings on sedimentation
•  Flow velocity evaluation based on the measurement method
•  Low-flow suppression
•  Measurement damping and stability

23.1.1  Name of Measurement Place

Fig. 23-1 

Entering the name of the measurement place

This is the place to enter the desired name of the measurement place. The name space is 

limited to 256 digits.

Default setting

 of the name: NIVUS1.

When entering a new name the default name will be erased automatically as soon as the first 

letter or the first number is selected.

Â

Ü

Procedure:

1.  Enter the name of the measurement place completely into the text field using the 

keypad.

2.  Confirm the name by using the right function key "Enter". The name of the meas-

urement place is accepted and will be indicated in the main menu.
