Totalizer mode for positive flow total only.
Refers to a memory location used by the flow meter to store data such as the flow total, etc.
Resistive Temperature Device. Temperature sensors used with energy flow of mass flow
systems.
Refers to entire spool piece, in some instances. Also flow sensors that the flow meter uses to
measure the flow rate. Also called transducers and abbreviated as Xdcr.
A user-entered name that the flow meter associates with a stored Site Setup. You retrieve a
particular Site by selecting its name from a site name list.
A collection of parameters used by the flow meter to service a specific site (or location). The
flow meter allows you to store several independent Site Setups.
Section of RAM allocated for permanent data storage. This memory segment stores inactive
site setups (including a backup of active site). The flow meter’s Site Setup storage capacity
depends on the dynamic memory allocation as dictated by each application. In addition, the
flow meter uses Site Storage Memory to store configurable operating parameters such as
pipe, liquid or gas tables.
Siemens software program that interfaces with Siemens flow meters to assess flow meter
installation conditions and to collect data for comparison with prior baseline data.
Refers to the Number Index used by the flow meter to determine the space between the
upstream and downstream sensors on clamp-on systems.
