Programming Parameters
The programming columns are listed below, column by column. Each block name,
the parameter that it represents, the default value, and the range of values is listed
in the order in which the blocks appear when scrolling up through the column. There
may be some blocks that will cause the installer to wonder should I do anything with
this, or not? A comments section follows each column breakdown. These sections
attempt to provide some practical information that the installer may find helpful in
making programming choices.

The count decimal point factor locks a decimal point on the totalizer and batch count
displays. In the batcher, the totalizer display decimal point can be shifted to the right
one or two places from the batch counter decimal point by entering a value of 2 or 3
into block d2. The rate decimal point factor locks a decimal point on the rate display,
for rate setpoints, and for linearization points in column P. Make sure that the deci-
mal point is in the proper position in block F2 before entering points in column P.
The rate time units parameter is the number of seconds in the time unit of the
displayed rate. This will typically be 1 (for seconds), 60 (for minutes), 3600 (for
hours), or for you barrels per day users, 86,400. Entering a large value in this block
may cause the ratemeter to calculate a display greater than 999999, in which case
