7.1 Test or tune the system using sensor
simulation
Use sensor simulation to test the system's response to a variety of process conditions,
including boundary conditions, problem conditions, or alarm conditions, or to tune the
loop.
Restriction
Sensor simulation is available only on flowmeters with the enhanced core processor.
Prerequisites
Before enabling sensor simulation, ensure that your process can tolerate the effects of the
simulated process values.
Procedure
1. Navigate to the sensor simulation menu.
