Basic Meter Operation
Overview
In its most basic form, the meter provides a digital display in engineering units of
any process variable from a transmitter, such as temperature, pressure, level,
flow, etc. The meter is calibrated for the appropriate range, the output of the
transmitter is connected to the meter and the meter displays the process. As a
standard feature, the meter can also provide the power to drive the input
transmitter and the 4-20 mA output option while maintaining isolation between
the input and the output signals.
