Effect of Flow Direction on frequency outputs
Flow Direction affects how the transmitter reports flow values via the frequency outputs. The
frequency outputs are affected by Flow Direction only if Frequency Output Process Variable is set
to a flow variable.

Effect of Flow Direction on discrete outputs
The Flow Direction parameter affects the discrete output behavior only if Discrete Output
Source is set to Flow Direction.
