11.1 Test or tune the system using sensor simulation
Display Menu > Startup Tasks > Commissioning Tools > Sensor Simulation
ProLink III Device Tools > Diagnostics > Sensor Simulation
Field Communicator Service Tools > Simulate > Simulate Sensor
Use sensor simulation to test the system's response to a variety of process conditions, including boundary
conditions, problem conditions, or alert conditions, or to tune the loop.
Restriction
Sensor simulation is available only on flowmeters with the enhanced core processor.
Prerequisites
Before enabling sensor simulation, ensure that your process can tolerate the effects of the simulated process
values.
Procedure
1. Enable sensor simulation.
2. For mass flow, set Wave Form as desired and enter the required values.
