Data updates
The Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter samples the input analog signal(s) and
updates the corresponding data point(s) (
LiveFlowPressure, LiveFlowTemperature) once per
second regardless of the input selection (disabled, live, or fixed).
Every five seconds, the meter updates the “in-use” flow-condition pressure and temperature
values (
FlowPressure, AbsFlowPressure, FlowTemperature) depending upon the input selection,
validity of the input data, and the selected data source upon alarm according to Ta bl e 5-7 .
The flow-condition absolute flow pressure is calculated as shown in Equation 5-6.
