1.1.4. Additional Functions
These instruments contain a number of functions in addition to reporting flow which include:
• Settable alarms and warnings with semiconductor switch outputs
• A digitally reported status of alarms and warnings such as overflow/underflow
• A flow totalizer to track the amount of gas added to a system
• A digitizing channel for an auxiliary analog signal
• An internal curve fitting routine for “fine tuning” the base calibration
• An alternate calibration set of 8 different ranges/gases
