Note: The following procedures assume that the device has been placed in the OOS (out-of-service) mode before
executing.
D.3 Selecting the Desired Measurements
To set the measurement unit for each AI:
1. Double click on the FLOW Transducer Block (in the tree under GEFlow-XMT).
2. Select the Others tab and open the drop down list for the PRIMARY_SELECTOR and SECONDARY_SELECTOR (refer
to Figure 40 on page 115).
3. Choose the unit from the list (see Figure 40 on page 115).
This unit will correspond to the unit that is available in the AI block for network connection. The PRIMARY_SELECTOR
unit will correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_1 and the SECONDARY_SELECTOR will correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_2.
