4. REGISTER USAGE
Figure 1 below describes the most common way to implement a
master application that is synchronised with the MPU Series B.
In this example, the master application running on an external flow
computer is responsible for writing the correct pressure and
temperature to the MPU Series B.

4.1. The MPU Series B Alarm Status
The MPU Series B Alarm Status is a bit coded value indicating the
state of the MPU Series B alarms. To correctly interpret the bits, the
32-bit float value has to be converted into a 32-bit integer value. The
table below shows the alarm bits used and their interpretation.
Bit Value Alarm interpretation
0 1 High Flow Alarm
1 2 Hardware Error
2 4 Transducer Failure
3 8 Calculation Failure
4 16 Burst Percent Low
5 32 Gain Error
6 64 Velocity-of-sound difference too large
7 128 Flow corrections active
