D.11 Simulation Mode
Simulation mode allows the user to test the FF implementation without the instrument providing real data. The meter
PCB is shipped with simulation mode disabled. To enable simulation mode, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the PCB from the meter.
2. Locate the jumper
P5 (see Figure 34 below).
3. Move the
P5 jumper to the left one place (pins 2 & 3) to enable simulation mode.
4. Re-install the PCB into meter
5. Verify that the
Block error field in the Resource Block shows SimulationActive status.
