Important
If you are changing communications parameters for the connection type that you are using, you will
lose the connection when you write the parameters to the transmitter. Reconnect using the new
parameters.

Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Characterize
Overview
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts your transmitter to match the unique traits of the
sensor it is paired with. The characterization parameters (also called calibration
parameters) describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
Depending on your sensor type, different parameters are required. Values for your sensor
are provided by Micro Motion on the sensor tag or the calibration certificate.
Tip
If your flowmeter was ordered as a unit, it has already been characterized at the factory. However,
you should still verify the characterization parameters.
Procedure
1. Specify Sensor Type.
• Straight-tube (T-Series)
• Curved-tube (all sensors except T-Series)
2. Set the flow characterization parameters. Be sure to include all decimal points.
• For straight-tube sensors, set FCF (Flow Cal or Flow Calibration Factor), FTG, and FFQ.
