Chapter 1. Programming Site Data
1.1 Introduction
The Model GF868 flowmeter cannot provide accurate flow rate measurements until the instrument has been properly
installed and the basic system and pipe parameters have been programmed into the meter. See the Startup Guide for
detailed instructions on performing these tasks. After completing the installation and initial setup, use this chapter to
program the Model GF868’s advanced features.
IMPORTANT: If you are using PanaView™ software to program the GF868, refer to Appendix C.
Ten submenus within the User Program provide access to the various programmable features of the Model GF868.
Step-by-step programming instructions are presented in this chapter. Refer to the appropriate section for a discussion of
the following User Program submenus:
• ACTIV - select the desired measurement method
• SYSTM - enter the system data
• PIPE - enter the pipe parameters
• I/O - set up the inputs and outputs
• SETUP - set the signal limits and response times
• CLOCK - set the time and date
• COMM - set the serial port parameters
• SAVE - save site files
• RECLL - recall stored site files
• SECUR - enter a passcode
As an aid in following the programming instructions, a complete menu map of the User Program is included in
Appendix A, Menu Maps.
Note: In the menu map drawings, plain text represents prompt area messages and boxed text represents option bar
choices. Fx represents a function key to select an option bar choice.
