Chapter 1. Programming Site Data
1.7.2 Entering Channel System Data
While following the programming instructions, refer to the menu map in Figure 11 on page 83.
IMPORTANT: Do not confuse this SYSTM submenu, which is used to enter channel-specific information, with the
SYSTM submenu of the GLOBL menu, which is used to enter information applicable to both channels.
1. To enter the SYSTM submenu, press [F2] at the Channel PROGRAM prompt.
2. Enter a
Channel Label of up to 9 characters. Press
[ENT] .
3. Enter a Channel Message of up to 21 characters. Press [ENT] .
4. At the
Equation prompt, press
[F1] to display the measurement data in
standard volumetric units, or press
[F2] to
display the measurement data in
actual volumetric units. The GS868 uses the appropriate gas equation to
calculate the flow rate in the volumetric units indicated.
5. Use the [F1]-[F4] and
 
] keys to select the desired
Volumetric Units for the flow rate display.
The abbreviations and definitions of all the available volumetric and totalizer units are shown in Table 2 on page 11.
The choices shown on the option bar are determined by the selection made at the previous SYSTEM UNITS screen.
6. Use the [F1]-[F4] keys to select the
Volumetric Time (units for the volumetric flow rate display).
7. Use the [F1]-[F4] keys to select the Vol Decimal Digits (the desired number of digits to the right of the decimal
point) in the volumetric flow rate display.
8. Use the [F1]-[F4] and


] keys to select the Totalizer Units.
The abbreviations and definitions of all the available volumetric and totalizer units are shown in Table 2 above. The
choices shown on the option bar in the prompt screen above are determined by the selection made at the previous
SYSTEM UNITS prompt screen.
9. Use the [F1]-[F4] keys to select the Total Decimal Digits (the desired number of digits to the right of the decimal
point) in the totalized flow display.
