To edit the Parity setting:
1. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the [Parity] option list.
2. Move the cursor to the required parity setting.
3. Press <ENT> to store the data. This moves the cursor to [Data Bits].
Data Bits
You can specify how many data bits the meter uses to format data words for serial transmissions. The
default setting is [7]. Note that the 996P portable printer requires a word length of [8].
To set the Data Word Length:
1. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the [Data Bits] option list.
2. Use the <Up or Down Arrow> to move the asterisk to the required bit setting.
3. Press <ENT> to store data. This moves the cursor to [Line Feed].
Line Feed
Some serial devices (printers, terminals, etc.) insert a line feed automatically after they receive a car-
riage return character. When communicating with these device types, you should set the Line Feed to
[OFF]. This instructs the flow computer to send a carriage return character without adding a line feed to
avoid creating an additional blank line after each carriage return.
Setting the Line Feed to [ON] tells the flow computer to insert a line feed character after each carriage
return that it transmits. This may be necessary to avoid the constant “wrapping” of transmitted data onto
a single line. The factory setting is [NO] (line feed disabled). Note that the 996P portable printer requires
[NO].
To enable (or disable) Line Feed:
1. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the [Line Feed] option list.
2. Use the <Up or Down Arrow> to move the asterisk to [Yes] Line Feed enabled, or [No] Line Feed
disabled.
3. Press <ENT> to store the data. This moves the cursor to [Network ID].
Network ID
The Network ID menu cell stores an identification number to facilitate host computer polling when you
use this system in a network environment. The Network ID number can be any value other than 0 (zero).
The default setting, zero, disables the network function. Note that entering a non-zero Network ID num-
ber suspends all routine Datalogger activity regardless of any selected options.
NOTE: If you are using the flowmeter for a “stand-alone” application, you must keep the zero
Network ID number.
To assign a Network ID number
1. Press <Right Arrow> to enable numeric entry.
