Chapter 1. Programming Site Data
•
4-bit - Consists of only a few pulses with no built-in code pattern. This option aids in cases where a small pipe
diameter does not give each transducer the time necessary to send a series of signals before receiving a series
of signals. It is also a good selection for pipes made of materials which tend to blur the signal pattern, such as
PTFE.
•
11-bit - The 11-bit option consists of a series of approximately one dozen pulses with a distinctive binary pattern
that the meter can easily recognize during auto correlation.
Complete the following steps to select the code length:
1.
At the
ADVAN
window, press
[F4] (CODEL) to select Code Length
.
2.
Use the [
and
[F1]-[F4]
keys to select the desired option.
The meter returns to the
Advanced Features
prompt.
Active Tw Measurement
Use this option to actively compensate the transit-time measurement in the fluid for widely varying transducer signal
delays that result from large temperature deviations.
IMPORTANT:
Consult the factory before activating this option.
1.
At the
ADVAN
window, press [
and
[F1] (ActTw)
to select
Active TW Measurement.
2.
Press
[F1] = NO
to disable this option, or
[F2] = YES to enable Active TW Measurement. If you select NO, the DF868
returns to the Advanced Features prompt.
3.
If you enable active Tw measurement, the meter requires the
Minimum Tw
in µsec. (The range is from 0 to 500
µsec.) Use the numeric keys to enter the value, and press
[ENT].
4.
The meter also requires the
Maximum Tw
in µsec. (The range is from 0 to 500 µsec.) Use the numeric keys to
enter the value, and press
[ENT].
Procedure Options
After completing the above steps, the meter returns to the
Advanced Features
prompt. Press
[EXIT]
to return to the
Channel PROGRAM
prompt.

Then, proceed to the appropriate section of this manual for instructions.
•
To leave the
User Program
and retain the previous settings, press
[EXIT]
twice and then press
[F1] = NO at the
SAVE prompt. Any programming changes will be discarded and you will be returned to the data display.
•
To leave the
User Program
and return to measurement mode, press
[EXIT]
twice and then press
[F2] = YES
at
the
SAVE prompt. Programming changes will be entered into the meter memory, and you will be returned to the
data display.
