Chapter 1. Programming site data
1.1 Introduction
The XGF868i flow transmitter must be properly installed
and programmed, as described in the
Startup guide
,
before it can provide accurate flow rate measurements.
After completing the installation and initial setup, use this
chapter to program the advanced features of the XGF868i
keypad program
.
Step-by-step programming instructions are presented in
this chapter. Also, as a programming aid, a complete set
of menu maps for the XGF868i are included in
. The specific figure numbers will
be referenced throughout this chapter, as required.
Refer to the appropriate section for a discussion of the
following
keypad program
features:
•
Channelx-ACTIV
- activate one or both channels
and scroll to the desired measurement method.
•
Channelx-SYSTM
- enter the individual channel
parameters.
•
Channelx-PIPE
- enter the pipe geometry and other
parameters.
•
Channelx-I/O
- set up the inputs and outputs.
•
Channelx-SETUP
- set the signal limits, response times
and mass flow status.
•
Global-SYSTM
- scroll to system units (English or metric).
•
Global-I/O
- set up error handling, option cards
and the display.
•
Global-COMM
- set the serial port parameters.
NOTE:
The “x” in CHx represents the channel number.
To get the XGF868i up and running as quickly as possible
you must, as a minimum, activate the channel(s), enter the
channel and global system data and the pipe parameters.
The
procedure options
section at the end of each menu will
help you in programming the required (quick startup) and
optional data.
NOTE:
In this manual, only the programming of channel 1 will
be described. To program channel 2 of a 2-channel meter,
simply repeat the same procedure presented for channel 1.
1.2 Programming methods
You can program the XGF868i via either the keypad on the
lower part of the glass window, or
PanaView™
, a PC-based,
non-resident software program that communicates with
the XGF868i via its RS232 serial port. PanaView supplements
basic XGF868i functions with several additional capabilities.
With PanaView, you can:
• Load and save site file data
• Create and save graph and log files
• Display text output and graphs of live measurement data
• Create custom templates for displaying text, graph and
log data
• Interface with multiple Panametrics instruments.
Although the actual displays differ somewhat, the general
procedures are the same for all three programming
methods. This chapter provides detailed programming
instructions for use with the magnetic keypad. If you
are using PanaView™, see
the XGF868i with PanaView on page 51
, and/or the
PanaView™ user’s manual
(910-211) for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT
This manual is for instruments using software version
Y4AM or later.
