Navigating and Customizing Your Flow Controller
Collecting Live Flow Data
The Main Display has three primary functions:
• Collecting live temperature, pressure and ow data (see below)
• Changing engineering units for temperature, pressure and ow (page 20)
• Changing the ow or pressure control setpoint (page 26)
This screen displays live data for all ow parameters simultaneously. Live
data is measured 1000 times every second but refreshed more slowly on the
display. Press the button above or below any of the four ow parameters once
to highlight its value in the center of the screen. Press the same button again
to enter the engineering unit selection menu for that parameter (page 20).
