executing.
D.3 Selecting the Desired Measurements
To set the measurement unit for each AI:
1. Double click on the
FLOW
Transducer Block (in the tree under
GEFlow-XMT
).
2. Select the
Others
tab and open the drop down list for the
PRIMARY_SELECTOR
and
SECONDARY_SELECTOR
(refer to
Figure 41 on page 131).
3. Choose the unit from the list (see Figure 41 on page 131).
This unit will correspond to the unit that is available in the AI block for network connection. The
PRIMARY_SELECTOR
unit
will correspond to
ANALOG_INPUT_1
and the
SECONDARY_SELECTOR
will correspond to
ANALOG_INPUT_2
.
4. After the desired measurements have been selected for the
PRIMARY
and
SECONDARY SELECTOR
, choose the unit
system (
UNIT_SELECTOR
above the
PRIMARY_SELECTOR
) that has been programmed in the flowmeter (English or SI).
