  Click on Radio Button to select. 
Ensure that units and gauge 
pressure settings are 
consistent with the meter 
block. 
Flowing Pressure 
Measurement 
Atmospheric 
Pressure 
 
Sets whether pressure 
measurements are absolute 
or gauge pressure. If you 
are using gauge pressure, 
a value of atmospheric 
pressure is required in the 
pressure units chosen. 
Enter an Atmospheric pressure 
value in units selected by the 
UNITS configuration parameter 
Override 
Expanded 
Range Error 
  Under certain situations, 
the gas component values 
may exceed the expanded 
range recommended by the 
AGA 8 Report. Setting this 
checkbox will override the 
expanded range error so 
that a flow rate will be 
calculated. It should be 
noted that calculated flow 
rates for conditions where 
the expanded range is 
exceeded are outside of the 
recommended uncertainty 
values for AGA 8 
calculations. 
Check this box to Override the 
expanded Range Error 
Gas Analysis 
Use Remote 
Gas 
Component 
Values 
 
  If using this setting, the gas 
component parameter pins 
X [1..21] 
are always 
visible whether or not 
this is selected. Unused 
pins can be left floating, 
since an unconnected 
pin is always read as 0.
 
Note that the analyzer 
values must be normalized 
to ensure the gas 
component sum is equal to 
1.0. 
Check this box to use the 
block’s input pin values from an 
online analyzer. 
Uncheck this box to use Local 
Gas Component Values.
