INTRODUCTION

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM

MICROCOMPUTER is an advanced state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based
computer used to control and measure the numerous physical and dynamic
characteristics of fluids, such as liquids and gases. Compatible with most process
flowmeters and transmitters, the MODEL 2500 is a state-of-the-art instrument with
both a large input/output capacity and a powerful processor possessing the
programmable capabilities necessary for the hundreds of applications required for
a demanding environment.

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 software can be configured to:

- Perform a broad range of flow measurement and process applications

without compromising the exact needs of the application and without
the expense of a custom instrument.

- Monitor and read live transmitter inputs, both analog and digital.

- Produce multiple calculated outputs.

- Act as a controller for meter prover applications.

- Serve as a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) furnishing calculated data on

demand to a "Host" computer or a Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) system.

____________________________________________________________________

SECTION 1 1
______________________________________________________ MODEL 2500
The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM
MICROCOMPUTER consists of the following:

- MODEL 2500 computer

- BASE25 operating system (resident in the EPROM of the MODEL

2500 microcomputer)

- Specialized application software that provides for customized

configuration of the microcomputer for specific tasks

____________________________________________________________________

MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
MODEL 2500 HARDWARE

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM

MICROCOMPUTER hardware comes in either a one-board system or a two-board
system. Both systems function identically with the same baseline and software.
The number of inputs and outputs required by the user will dictate whether a one-
or a two-board system is needed.

Refer to Figures 1-1 and 1-2 for a graphic depiction of the differences between the
two systems. For more detailed specifications, refer to the MODEL 2500
Microcomputer Hardware Manual, Daniel P/N 3-9000-590.

MODEL 2500 SOFTWARE

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 specialized application software is

developed in conjunction with the CONFIG25 program. The CONFIG25 program
is designed to run on an IBM PC or compatible personal computer.

This manual provides the basic operational information to download and operate
software in the MODEL 2500, which contains a Revision 5.00 level or higher. The
new generation of BASE25 allows the user to download any Revision K.2 or
higher applications without requiring a new analysis of an application under a
different Config25.

Prior to Revision 5.00 baseline, applications had to be developed, analyzed, and run
on software that was of the same revision level. Revision 5.00 and higher
firmware (hereafter referred to as 5.nn), is designed to support applications
developed on multiple Daniel CONFIG25 software releases.

The following table lists the CONFIG25 software releases that are supported and
the baseline used for execution. The following compatibility rules are imposed by
the download routine.

MODEL 2500 DISPLAY SCREEN

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM

MICROCOMPUTER front panel has a LCD screen located at the top of the front
panel which is electro-luminescent backlighted for readability under various
ambient lighting conditions.

This screen displays two lines of alphanumeric characters with 16 characters in

each line, which provide for the readout of data, system command and prompts,
and computation results. Numeric values are displayed in appropriate engineering
units when applicable.

The display also has an adjustable viewing angle so that instruments, which are
mounted either at a relatively low or high height, may be adjusted for comfortable
viewing.

To adjust the LCD for comfortable viewing after installation:

- Release the catch located at the bottom of the panel

- Pull the display unit forward approximately one inch

- Locate the small potentiometer on the left hand side of the display
board in the center, approximately 1/2 " from the front, as illustrated
below. With a small screwdriver adjust the angle for the most
comfortable viewing.

SECTION 2 9
______________________________________________________ MODEL 2500
MODEL 2500 KEYPAD

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM

MICROCOMPUTER front panel has a 16-key keypad which gives the user the
ability to enter and change data and system commands. The keypad is located
approximately in the center of the panel, and is symmetrically arranged in four
columns of four keys each.

Ten of the 16 keys are marked with the numbers 0 through 9, arranged in
descending order. The remaining keys are marked with a decimal point, a minus
sign, an UP arrow, a DOWN arrow, and the command words of EXIT and ENTER.

The UP arrow, DOWN arrow, EXIT and ENTER keys have been assigned specific
functions. The keys and their functions are defined below:

UP/DOWN
Arrow Keys Sequences the front panel display forward or backward
through a menu or sub-menu. The display can be
changed one step at a time by depressing a key
repeatedly, or it can be sequenced rapidly by holding
down a key.

EXIT Key Moves the display to the next higher menu.

ENTER Key Selects the sub-menu displayed on the front panel, enters
the data that has been keyed-in on the display, and
initiates a printout of a report when the name of the
report is displayed on the front panel.

A further discussion of the keypad is provided later when operation of the

instrument is explained in greater detail.

MODEL 2500 REMOTE FRONT PANEL

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM

MICROCOMPUTER remote front panel is an external terminal connected to the
MODEL 2500 by means of a serial port. The same functions that are possible on
the front panel of an on-site MODEL 2500 are also possible with the remote front
panel. However, only one front panel may be active at a given time.

Activation of the remote front panel is made possible by assigning it to a serial port
using one of the PORTUSE selections in the Serial Ports sub-menu. Control is
returned to the front panel of the on-site unit from the remote front panel by
changing the PORTUSE selection to an option other than the remote front panel.

Selecting the remote front panel or returning control to the front panel of the
on-site unit may take as long as 30 seconds before the operation is complete. The
remote front panel responds more slowly than the front panel of the on-site unit to
both keyboard entry and display refreshing.

When the remote front panel is selected, the LCD screen of the on-site unit
displays the following message:

REMOTE FRONT
PANEL SELECTED

_________________________________________________________

NOTE! If the remote front panel fails when the remote unit is
in control or if for some other reason, communications
is lost between the on-site unit and the remote front
panel, control can be returned to the front panel of the
on-site unit by simultaneously pressing the zero,
decimal, and minus keys.

INITIALIZING SEQUENCE

After power is applied to the DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500

INSTRUMENT SYSTEM, it automatically performs an initializing sequence,
whether the startup is considered to be a "cold" or "warm".

In a "cold" startup, power is switched on to the MODEL 2500, and the initializing
sequence:

- Determines if the instrument is configured for a specific application

- Performs a series of self-diagnostic tests

The self-diagnostic tests ensure that all internal circuitry and devices in the
instrument are operational.

In a "warm" startup, which occurs after the power supply has been briefly
interrupted or a "watchdog" message has indicated a problem in the program, the
initializing sequence, again:

- Determines if the instrument is configured for a specific application

- Performs a series of self-diagnostic tests

During a "warm" startup, the front panel displays a copyright message and
copyright date for several seconds before performing the initializing sequence.
However, during a "cold" startup, the copyright message does not appear.

FILE TYPES

Each application for the MODEL 2500 has three files composed of an application
name and a file name extension, indicated by the three letters following the file
name and separated by a dot or decimal point, to indicate the type of information
contained in the file. The extensions are defined in the following table.

EXTENSION DEFINITION
This file contains a configuration and should
.CFG not be erased unless the configuration is no
longer needed.
This file contains an analyzed configuration in
.BTA a format that is ready to be downloaded to a
MODEL 2500 microcomputer.
This file contains documentation that describes
a configuration in a format that can be listed
.LST on a printer. Listing a .LST file on a printer
provides a hard copy record of the
configuration.

SECTION 3 17
______________________________________________________ MODEL 2500
MEMORY RESIDENT SOFTWARE

Frequently, utility software packages such as "Sidekick" and "Prokey" are loaded
by the user and remain resident in the Random Access Memory (RAM) of a
PC-compatible computer when the computer is booted (activated). Usually these
resident utilities do not interfere with running the DANIEL IPL25 program.

However, if the resident utility software package requires an excessive amount of

memory or a utility software package with serial communications, which causes
problems when downloading a configuration to a MODEL 2500 instrument, then
both of these problems may be corrected by removing the user’s resident utility
software package(s).

____________________________________________________________________

18 SECTION 3
MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
HARD DRIVE USE

When using an IBM PC (or compatible computer) equipped with a hard drive,
standard practice suggests that regularly used programs should be grouped in a
sub-directory which is separate from the data sub-directory. The DANIEL
application program IPL25 supports this practice and all the files on the distribution
disk for IPL25 should be copied to the program sub-directory on the hard drive.

However, to do this proper MS-DOS PATH commands must be used to indicate

the sub-directory where the files for IPL25 are located. If necessary, refer to the
applicable computer manuals for details on the proper use of PATH commands.

SECTION 3 19
______________________________________________________ MODEL 2500
DOWNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS

The application software may be downloaded with the DANIEL program on the
application diskette, designated as IPL25. The IPL25 program, which is a new
window’s program, invokes the LOAD2500 program that can also be used directly.

Before attempting to download the application to the MODEL 2500, the user
should complete the following preliminary procedures:

- Activate both the PC and the MODEL 2500.

- Make certain the communications link between the PC and the Model
2500 is established. If necessary, refer to the Hardware Manual, Daniel
P/N 3-9000-590, for system wiring diagrams.

- Ensure that the MODEL 2500 has the proper communication ports and
baud rates installed and that a communications identification number
is designated.

- Make a working copy of the application diskette(s).

- Copy the application diskette(s) onto the hard drive, if the PC has a
hard drive installed.

_________________________________________________________

NOTE! Since diskette(s) wear out over time, file copies should
be made and stored in safe place.

DATA ENTRY SECURITY

Data entry security is provided by:

- Three-position security switch

- Two-level password system consisting of a lower-level password and

a restricted-user password

The lower-level password provides for changing constants and variable values that
are not designated as limited-access variables. The restricted-user password
provides access for changing the limited-access variables. Functioning of the
passwords is controlled by the three-position security switch.

____________________________________________________________________

32 SECTION 3
MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
SECURITY SWITCH

A three-position security switch controls operator changes to variables in the

system through the front panel. The switch is located at the rear of CPU I/O
board.

The three selections provided by the switch are defined in the table below.

POSITION DEFINITION
DOWN Lower-level security password entry is not required to change
data. Restricted-user password entry may be required.
CENTER Password entry is allowed and required to change data.
UP Password entry is not allowed. Data cannot be changed at the
front panel of the instrument.

____________________________________________________________________

SECTION 3 33
______________________________________________________ MODEL 2500
LOWER-LEVEL SECURITY PASSWORD

If the security switch, which is located at the rear of CPU I/O board, is in the
center position, an operator must enter the lower-level security password before
entering or changing variable values in the system. The lower-level security
password remains active for five minutes after the last key is pressed. The system
command "Unit Lock" disables the unit password and the password must be entered
again in order to change data.

When the instrument is downloaded, the default lower-level password is eight 1s,
(11111111). Installing a new, user-originated, lower-level password at the initial
startup of the MODEL 2500 system, is recommended.

____________________________________________________________________

34 SECTION 3
MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
RESTRICTED-USER PASSWORD

The restricted-user password provides an additional level of security for

user-specified, limited-access variables. The restricted-user password may not be
entered until the lower-level password is activated.

Until the restricted-user password is entered, limited-access variables can be

displayed, but cannot be changed, regardless of the state of the lower-level
password. After the restricted-user password is entered, limited-access variables
can be changed.

If the three-position security switch is in the center position, the restricted-user

password remains active for five minutes after the last key is pressed. In this
switch position, the system command "Unit Lock" disables the restricted-user
password and the lower-level password.

If the three-position security switch is in the up position, the restricted-user

password will not automatically time-out after five minutes, and must be disabled
using the "Unit Lock" command.

The factory-installed restricted-user password is "11111111". A new,

user-originated, restricted-user password should be entered at initial startup.

_________________________________________________________

CAUTION! Since neither the standard-unit password, nor the

restricted-user password can be retrieved after
being entered, a record of each should be kept in
a secure location for future reference. However,
the standard unit password may be over-written
if the security switch is in the down position.

DATA ENTRY AT INITIAL STARTUP

Before a DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM

is placed in service, constants and variables for the application must be entered in
the microcomputer memory, or changed if this data differs from factory-installed
values. Data entry is made through the MODEL 2500 front panel keypad.

The following occurs when a MODEL 2500 system is configured for a specific
application:

- Default value for each constant and variable required for that
configuration is stored in the computer memory.

- Variables are stored in either a fixed or a dynamic mode, depending

on how the values are specified when the Model 2500 is initially
configured with CONFIG25.

- Variables will remain as configured until modified.

- All variables and constants are named and are available for display in
real time on the front panel.

- Calculation variables are displayed only if units for the variables are
assigned.

- Calculation variables can be changed manually only if units for the

variables were assigned the first time the variables were defined.

MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
PROCEDURE OF DATA ENTRY AT INITIAL STARTUP

The procedural steps for entering data during initial startup of the DANIEL
INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM are as follows:

1. Turn on the MODEL 2500 and ensure that the normal start-up message,
which is illustrated below, is displayed.

2. Unlock the front panel for data entry by pressing the DOWN arrow on the
front panel keypad several times until the message "SYSTEM
COMMANDS" appears on the lower text line of the LCD screen display.

_________________________________________________________

NOTE! Continuously holding down the key, rather than

pressing it several times will cause the display to
scroll rapidly through the MAIN MENU and may
result in overshooting the SYSTEM COMMANDS
sub-menu. If this occurs, continue to press the
DOWN arrow one step at a time until the message
SYSTEM COMMANDS reappears.
_________________________________________________________

3. Press the ENTER key once.

4. Press the DOWN arrow one step at a time until the message "UNIT

"11111111" to appear on the LCD screen,

7. Press the ENTER key. This will cause the green LED on the front panel to
glow.

_________________________________________________________

NOTE! The password may be changed at this time by keying in

eight numbers on the front panel keypad. (The MODEL
2500 accepts prefixed zeros as discrete, which means the
instrument requires all eight digits of a number such as
00000004 in order to interpret the number 4 as the
password.) When the new password has been keyed in,
press the ENTER key. The keyboard now can be
unlocked for data entry only with the new password.
The password cannot be retrieved once entered, and
should be recorded in a secure location.

Depending on the MODEL 2500 configuration, the MAIN MENU contains up to

11 sub-menus, each of which either provides a functional category for accessing
system data or for controlling the instrument.

____________________________________________________________________

44 SECTION 4
MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
SUB-MENUS

The MAIN MENU’s 12 possible sub-menus are listed below with those menus that
appear in all system configurations marked with an asterisk (*).

- INPUT CHANNELS
- OUTPUT CHANNELS
- ALARMS*
- OPERATOR ENTRY
- CALCULATIONS*
- REPORTS
- TABLES
- TUBE SWITCHING
- MODBUS MASTER
- SERIAL PORTS*
- ARCHIVE
- SYSTEM COMMANDS*

When required by an application, each sub-menu may have one or more lower

TABLES

The TABLES sub-menu, which is the seventh sub-menu on the MAIN MENU, has
a lower level sub-menu for each data table defined in the configuration.

TUBE SWITCHING

The TUBE SWITCHING sub-menu, which is the eighth sub-menu on the MAIN
MENU, provides the following list of variables that define common switching
parameters for all tube sets and individual switching parameters for each tube in
a set.

Common switching parameters for all tube sets:

Time delay variable The time delay variable is a user-entered interval

that allows time for a valve to change position, and
for the position change to affect the differential
pressure across the tube set before the position of
the next valve in the set is changed. The default
value for this variable is 120 seconds.

Verify DP variable The verify DP variable enables or disables

automatic verification of the differential pressure

____________________________________________________________________

SECTION 4 49
______________________________________________________ MODEL 2500
level after a valve position change is ordered by the
MODEL 2500. When the variable is OFF, no
verification is performed.

Verify level variable The verify level variable specifies the cutoff value
for differential pressure across a tube set to be used
in verifying a valve position change. The default
value of this variable is 2.

Control number
variable The control number (#) variable displays the
number of the tube assigned as the current control
tube.

Individual tube switching parameters are listed for the first tube in a set in the
following order and repeat in that same order for each subsequent tube. Tubes are
listed in the desired sequence for switching the valves.

DP name Differential pressure name is the analog input variable

with a value that represents the current differential
pressure transmitted.

Low Low differential pressure switchpoint (expressed in

engineering units) across a tube when the valve
controlling the tube is closed. The default value for this
variable is 2.

High High differential pressure switchpoint (expressed in

engineering units) across a tube when the valve
controlling the tube is opened. The default value for this
variable is 98.

State Operational status of the tube being displayed (i.e.,

enabled, disabled, fault). The default status of this
variable is "enabled".

definition sub-menu provides for identifying or changing the remote name ID, the
communications address and state variable, and the control option for each of the
two remote units.

Name Identifies the remote unit

Communications
Address Integer variable for the communications address of the
slave unit. If a communications address is not entered,
the default variable is zero. When the communications
address is zero, communications with the remote unit is
disabled.

State Integer variable that contains the current MODBUS

function code transmitted and received for the remote
unit. The state entry provides a means of monitoring the
activity between the master and remote units. Error
conditions are also visible by means of this variable.

Control Three options available here are:

MENU DISPLAY AND SELECTION PROCEDURE

Menu selections are selected and displayed on the DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL
2500 by pressing the UP and DOWN, and the EXIT and ENTER keys.

A detailed explanation of the functioning of each of these four keys follows:

ENTER Key

- Enters data and selects entry options displayed on the MODEL

2500 front panel LCD screen.

- Prints a line report when the name of the report is displayed on

the LCD screen.

- Provides access to selections on the menu levels.

For example, if the TIME and DATE message is displayed,

which indicates that the MAIN MENU is currently active,
pressing any key one time displays the first selection of the
MAIN MENU. This first selection is INPUT CHANNELS, if
INPUT CHANNELS is active in the configuration, which is
then displayed on the LCD screen.

Pressing the ENTER key again displays the first selection of the
INPUT CHANNELS sub-menu. This first selection is ANALOG
INPUTS, if ANALOG INPUTS is active in the configuration,
and which is then displayed on the LCD screen.

____________________________________________________________________

60 SECTION 4
MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
EXIT Key

- Moves the display to the next higher level menu.

For example, if INPUT CHANNELS and ANALOG INPUTS

are active in the configuration, and if the message "ANALOG
INPUTS" is displayed on the bottom line of LCD screen, this
indicates that the current menu level is the INPUT
CHANNELS.

Pressing the EXIT key one time displays the message "INPUT
CHANNELS" on the bottom line, indicating the current menu
level is now the MAIN MENU.

UP ARROW Key

- Steps the display up through the selections on the active menu.

For example, if the MAIN MENU is active and the last

selection, SYSTEM COMMANDS is displayed, pressing the UP
ARROW key one time displays the next higher selection on the
MAIN MENU, and the message "ARCHIVES" appears, if
ARCHIVES is active in the configuration.

Pressing the UP ARROW key another time will display the next
higher MAIN MENU selection, SERIAL PORTS.

Holding down the UP ARROW key rather than pressing it one

step at a time causes the display to continue moving up through
the menu selections rather than displaying one selection at a
time. If INPUT CHANNELS is active in the configuration, and
if the UP ARROW key is pressed when the first selection,
INPUT CHANNELS, is displayed, the display does not loop to
the last selection, but continues to read INPUT CHANNELS.

____________________________________________________________________

SECTION 4 61
______________________________________________________ MODEL 2500
DOWN ARROW Key

- Displays through the selections of the menu level that is active.

For example, if INPUT CHANNELS and OUTPUT

CHANNELS are both active in the configuration, and if the
MAIN MENU is active with one of the menu selections, such
as INPUT CHANNELS, being displayed, pressing the DOWN
ARROW key one time displays the next selection on the MAIN
MENU, and the message "OUTPUT CHANNELS" appears.

Pressing the DOWN ARROW key again will display the next
MAIN MENU selection, ALARMS. Holding down the DOWN
ARROW key rather than pressing it one step at a time causes
the display to continue moving down through the menu rather
than displaying one selection at a time. If the DOWN ARROW
key is pressed when the last selection, SYSTEM COMMANDS,
is displayed, the display will loop back to the first selection,
INPUT CHANNELS, if INPUT CHANNELS is active in the
configuration.

EXAMPLES FOR FINDING, FIXING AND CHANGING CALCULATIONS

This section presents examples involved in finding, fixing and changing

calculations. In addressing the steps or procedures involved in accomplishing this,
the specific application example chosen to demonstrate this will be "Application
Number 51119110". In this application example, the MODEL 2500 has been
configured to measure the mass and volume flow rate of a process gas containing
a mixture of natural gas and carbon dioxide.

The MODEL 2500 computes a variable named CURSCF (current standard cubic
feet) based on analog input variables, and the following procedures find, fix, and
change the value of the calculated volume.

FINDING THE CALCULATION

The calculation for current volume appears as CURSCF on the display, and is
displayed, fixed, and changed in the CALCULATIONS menu, which is a sub-menu
of the MAIN MENU.

The CALCULATIONS sub-menu is accessed with the following procedure.

Begin with the following illustrated display screen, which shows the first
menu selection on the MAIN MENU, and indicates that the MAIN MENU

REPORT PRINTOUTS

Reports are normally printed on a serial printer connected to a RS-232 port on the
MODEL 2500.

A report printout can be initiated by using four different methods. They are:

- Automatically by including a report command statement on a

Calculation Entry Sheet in the configuration program

- Operator command from the front panel

- Remote terminal or computer attached to the REPORTS serial port

- MODBUS communications link

____________________________________________________________________

120 SECTION 7
MODEL 2500_______________________________________________________
AUTOMATIC REPORTS

Automatic reports are initiated by report command statements in the configuration

program. The report command statements are used in either of two ways. They
are:

- Part of a program that performs a specific function associated with the

MODEL 2500 application configuration

- Independent statement that initiates a report printout when a specific

condition is met

An example of the first type of automatic report would be a report added to a

calculation program so the report will be printed each time the calculation is made.
An example of the second type of automatic report would be a report printed at a
specified time each day.

Program command statements are explained in detail in the CONFIG25 USER

MANUAL.

An operator can print a report manually at the front panel of the MODEL 2500 by
performing the following procedure.

- Begin with the MAIN MENU

- Locate and display the sub-menu REPORTS using the arrow keys

- Press the ENTER key

- Locate and display the report name (for example, AMREPORT) by

using the arrow keys

- Press the ENTER key

At this point, the report should be printed out on the line printer.

REMOTE TERMINAL OR COMPUTER REPORTS

A report can be requested using a remote terminal or computer attached to the

reports serial port on the MODEL 2500. A modem can also be attached to the
reports serial port to permit transmission of the report by telephone. A remote
report is initiated by performing the following procedure.

- Simultaneously press Control (^) and B (Shift 6 and B for some

keyboards) on the terminal/computer keyboard

- Enter the communications identification number (COMMID) of the

MODEL 2500 followed by an optional minus (-) sign and the number
of the report desired

- Press the ENTER key

The MODEL 2500 identification number must be three digits in length and the
report number must be four digits in length. Unit numbers with fewer than three
digits, and report numbers with fewer than four digits must have additional zeros
added at the beginning of the number series to make them long enough. For
example, an extra zero must be added to unit number 23 to be transmitted as 023,
and three extra zeros must be added to report number 1 to be transmitted as 0001.
Including the optional minus (-) sign requests a checksum that uses every character
transmitted to generate the report. For example, entering "^B023-0001<LF>" or
"^B023-0001<LF><CR>" is the correct format for requesting report 1 from unit 23,
including the checksum request, which is printed at the end of the report, and can
be used by the computer receiving the report to check for transmission errors. The
line feed command (<LF>) is required if <LF> is not included in the <CR>
command of the computer or terminal.

Requesting report 1 from unit 23 without the checksum is entered as

"^B0230001<LF>" or "^B0230001<LF><CR>". Again, the line feed command
(<LF>) is required if <LF> is not included in the <CR> command of the computer
or terminal.

PRINTING REPORTS FROM A COMPUTER USING MACROS

Using a communications package that supports macros, this request could be

entered as a macro. Depending on your hardware in use, refer to the information
on macros. For several communication packages the following table shows
equivalents.

STX = Start of text

LF = Line feed
CR = Carriage return

CODE HEX
SHIFT 6 = ^

CTRL B = ^B STX 02
LF = ^J LF 0A
CR = ^M CR 0D

An example of a request generated for a standard communication package is as

follows.

^B0010001^J^M

A line feed command (<LF>) is required if <LF> is not included in the <CR>
command of the computer or terminal.

runs. Typical selections are ONE, which provides for one
meter run, TWO, which provides for two meter runs, etc.

-S-

SCFSCALE SCFSCALE provides for selecting the standard cubic foot

(SCF) volume units scaling factor. Selections indicate the
scale by which the volume in SCF is divided. In other
words, selecting X10 divides the volume in SCF by 10;
selecting X100 divides the volume in SCF by 100; X1000
divides the volume by 1000, etc.

STREAMID STREAMID provides for selecting one of several

possible product streams. Typical selection options are
ONE, TWO, THREE, etc., each of which selects the
stream indicated by the option.

TAPLOC# TAPLOC# provides for choosing the tap location for

orifice meter runs. Multiple runs may be designated by
number or letter suffixes (accompanied with the symbol
# in TAPLOC#). For example, TAPLOC1 is the variable
name used to select the tap location for run number 1.
The selections for TAPLOC# are UPSTREAM and
DNSTREAM (downstream).

TAPTYPE# TAPTYPE provides an operator selection entry for

choosing the tap type for orifice meter runs. The
selections for TAPTYPE# are pipe and flange.

TESTPULS TESTPULS provides a turbine meter test signal. The

selections are ON, which initiates the test signal, and
OFF, which turns off the signal.
