The COMM Sub-Menu
The Model GF868 flowmeter can transmit stored data and displayed
readings to a remote ANSI terminal or a personal computer by
connecting the meter’s RS232 interface to the serial port of the PC. In
addition, the Model GF868 can receive and execute remote
commands via this link.
Use the COMM sub-menu to set the RS232 communications port
parameters and to enter a network identification number. A network
identification number is required to use the Panametrics Flowmeter
Data Manager software. While following the programming
instructions, refer to the menu map in Figure A-3 on page A-3 in
Appendix A, Menu Maps. Enter the
COMM sub-menu by pressing
