5-1C H A P T E R 5Initial Setup and General OperationsThis Chapter describes setup and operation of the flowmeter using the Touch Screen Display. Thealternative method using a PC with “Accuflow” is described in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 contains definitionsof each parameter and variable. (Note: The instrument will not be damaged by entering incorrectparameters.)Touch Screen LCD Display, Parameters and VariablesThe touch screen LCD display is used to set up the flowmeter, start measurements, and observe themeasured variables and status messages. Once the flowmeter starts taking measurements, it will continueto do so at a rate defined during setup. Flow measurements can be interrupted or halted from the display.Set up the flowmeter by entering appropriate values for various parameters. Parameters define thegeometry of each meter section and govern the operating modes of the flowmeter. Variables provide aview of measurements when the flowmeter is in normal “Measure” mode.
