Transport® Model PT878 Portable Liquid Flowmeter User’s Manual 21
Chapter 3. Programming Site Data
On the PT878, a Program Menu (part of the Main Menu) enables you to
enter information that is specific to each site:
• Transducer types and paths
• Pipe materials and linings
• Fluid types
• Heating or cooling energy flow rate
• Analog input and output parameters
• Digital output parameters
• User functions
• Correction factors
For immediate operation, the PT878 requires only transducer, pipe and fluid
data. However, additional information allows you to tailor measurements as
specifically as possible to your particular application. Once you have
entered this data, you can save it in files and recall these files for later use.
The PT878 can store up to 1 MB (or 32 site files) of data in the meter at any
one time. But through the infrared link, users can store an unlimited number
of sites in a PC, and then upload the sites they will actually use.
This chapter covers entering:
• Transducer, pipe, and fluid parameters
• Input/output and other setup parameters
• User functions.
