3.5 Taking Measurements
The Model XGM868i is capable of displaying several different variables in a variety of formats. However, this manual
will discuss only the basic measurement displays using the LCD display or the PanaView display. Refer to Chapter 2,
Displaying Data, in the Programming Manual for instructions on setting up alternate choices. Also, refer to the
Programming Manual and/or the PanaView User’s Manual to use PanaView or the analog outputs to obtain the flow
rate data.
3.5.1 Programming the LCD
Note: When you first initialize the XGM868i, the number of LCD parameters is set to OFF. You must program the
LCD to display any measured parameters.
Through the Keypad Program, you can program the LCD display to display up to four variables in sequence. Complete
the following steps to program the LCD display:
1. Power up the XGM868i and wait until it has initialized.
2. Press [Escape], [Enter], [Escape].
3. In the Keypad Program window, scroll to PROG and press [Enter].
4. In the PROG menu, scroll to GLOBL and press [Enter].
5. Scroll to I/O and press [Enter].
6. Scroll to LCD and press [Enter].
7. The window now asks for the # of LCD Parameters. Scroll to the desired number (from OFF through 1-4 and KEY)
and press [Enter].
The OFF setting switches the measurement display off, while the KEY setting enables users to change the measurement
display via the arrow keys, without accessing the Keypad Program. If you select KEY:
• To view a parameter other than the one currently displayed, press the [] or [] keys to scroll through the various
parameters.
• To scroll through the channel options on a two-channel XGM868i, press the [] and [] keys until you have
reached the desired option.
For a 1-Channel XGM868i, the data for Channel 1 is displayed automatically, and you can skip to step 9. However, for
a 2-Channel meter, the channel data to be displayed must be specified at the following prompt.
