Programming Site Data

Setting Advanced
Parameters

In the

ADVAN

option, you can enter parameters for two specialized

operations: static density and multiple K factors. While following the
programming instructions, refer to Figure A-2 on page A-2

To enter

the

ADVAN

submenu, press

[F4]

at the

SETUP

window.

Static Density

Use this option to specify basic parameters for mass flow
measurement.

To enter the

MASS

submenu, press

[F1]

at the

ADVAN

window.

At the

Static Density?

prompt, press

[F1]

[F2]

YES

. If you

press

, the GS868 returns to the

ADVAN

window.

Enter the

Fluid Density

of the gas to be measured and press

[ENT]

(The meter will only accept values from 0.00001-100 lb/ft

The GS868 program returns to the

ADVAN

window.

Entering Multiple K Factors

In the

MULTK

option, you can enter velocity or Reynolds Correction

values into a K-Factor table. You can thus “curve fit” velocity or
Reynolds calibration multiple data points (from several different data
sources or flow variables) to the flow rate reported by the GS868.

Press

[F2]

to enter the

Multiple K Factors

option.

Press

[F1] = NO

to disable or

[F2] = YES

to enable

Multiple K-

factors

•

If you press

, the GS868 returns to the

ADVAN

window.

If you press

YES

, the program asks for the

Custom type

of data.

Press

[F1]

to select velocity data, or

[F2]

to select Reynolds data.

If you select a Reynolds table, the meter asks for the

Kinematic

Viscosity.

Enter the appropriate value, and press

[ENT]

Press

[F1] = NO

to retain the current K-factor table and return to the

ADVAN

window, or press

[F2] = YES

Edit The K-factor Table.

Note:

If velocity vs. K-factor data was not provided with the Model
GS868, the K-factor table can not be edited.

Enter the

Number of K-factors

to be entered into the table.

Press

[ENT]

. (The meter will only accept values from 2 to 20.)

IMPORTANT:

When editing the K-factor table, the velocities must
be entered in increasing order.
