2.4 Description of
Program Steps
2.4.1 Step 1 - Operating
Mode
OPERATING MODE determines how you set up the flow meter.
In this step, there are two choices, Program and Setup.
Program advances you to step 2, and from there on you correlate
the flow meter to the flow stream. Setup selects various basic
housekeeping features for the flow meter. Here, you determine
the internal clock, site identification, measurement setup, hys-
teresis (see page 2-14), report contents, operation of the display
backlight, and program lock. In Program you select the units of
measure the flow meter will use for the display, calculations, and
reports.
Note
If you choose NOT MEASURED for any selection, the flow
meter will make no further reference to that value or function
for the rest of the program, and you will not be able to activate
that process or function later on unless you reprogram step 1.
If there is a feature or option you need that does not appear on
your display when the manual says it should, return to step 1
and make sure you have not inadvertently left it turned off in
either the Program or Setup menus.
Note that selecting some features automatically excludes oth-
ers. For example, selection of pH or D. O. excludes the other
parameter, unless you use the YSI 600 Multi-Parameter
Sonde, which measures pH, D.O., and conductivity at the
same time.
This method keeps program size manageable and makes pro-
gramming more efficient. By turning off unneeded features of the
program early, you do not have to keep de-selecting those fea-
tures over and over as you work through the program.
Consequently, you should choose carefully from the first step. We
suggest you study the program first, then fill out the Pro-
gramming Worksheets (in the back of the manual), and program
the flow meter last, if you are unfamiliar with the unit.
2.4.2 Step 2 - Flow
Conversion Type
FLOW CONVERSION TYPE determines how the flow meter cal-
culates flow rate and total flow. For the 4210, flow rate is calcu-
lated by knowing the measured level and (usually) the
characteristics of a primary measuring device.
