Emerson Micro Motion 1000 Series User Manual

56 Micro Motion Series 1000 and Series 2000 Transmitters
Using the Transmitter
7.3 Recording process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of the process variables listed below, under normal
operating conditions. This will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or
low, and may help in fine-tuning transmitter configuration.
Record the following process variables:
• Flow rate
• Density
•Temperature
• Tube frequency
• Pickoff voltage
•Drive gain
For information on using this information in troubleshooting, see Section 12.13.
7.4 Viewing process variables
Process variables include measurements such as mass flow rate, volume flow rate, mass total, volume
total, temperature, and density.
You can view process variables with the display (Model 1700 and 2700 transmitters only), ProLink II,
or the Communicator.
7.4.1 With the display
Process variable values are displayed using either standard decimal notation or exponential notation:
•Values < 100,000,000 are displayed in decimal notation (e.g., 123456.78).
•Values ≥ 100,000,000 are displayed using exponential notation (e.g., 1.000E08).
- If the value is less than the precision configured for that process variable, the value is
displayed as 0 (i.e., there is no exponential notation for fractional numbers).
- If the value is too large to be displayed with the configured precision, the displayed
precision is reduced (i.e., the decimal point is shifted to the right) as required so that the
value can be displayed.
See the Configuration and Use Manual Supplement for your transmitter for additional information
and instructions on viewing process variables with the display.
7.4.2 With ProLink II
The Process Variables window opens automatically when you first connect to the transmitter. This
window displays current values for the standard process variables (mass, volume, density,
temperature, external pressure, and external temperature).
To view the standard process variables with ProLink II, if you have closed the Process Variables
window, click
ProLink > Process Variables.
To view API process variables (if the petroleum measurement application is enabled), click
ProLink >
API Process Variables
.
To view enhanced density process variables (if the enhanced density application is enabled), click
ProLink > ED Process Variables. Different enhanced density process variables are displayed,
depending on the configuration of the enhanced density application.
