8.9.1 Effects of Special mode
In Special mode:
• Not all process variables are updated. The process variables listed below are always updated:
- Mass flow
-Volume flow
- Gas standard volume flow
- Density
- Temperature
-Drive gain
- LPO amplitude
- Status (contains Event 1 and Event 2)
- Raw tube frequency
- Mass total
- Volume total
- Gas standard volume total
- API temperature-corrected volume total
- API temperature-corrected density
- API temperature-corrected volume flow
- API batch weighted average temperature
- API batch weighted average density
The process variables listed below are updated only when the petroleum measurement
application is not enabled:
- RPO amplitude
-Board temperature
- Core input voltage
- Mass inventory
- Volume inventory
- Gas standard volume inventory
All other process variables are not polled at all. The omitted process variables will remain at
the values they held before Special mode was implemented.
• Calibration data is not refreshed.
• Discrete event status is not polled.
• The enhanced density application is not available.
Micro Motion recommends the following:
• Do not use Special mode unless required by your application. Contact Micro Motion before
setting Update Rate to Special.
• If Special mode is required, ensure that all required data is being updated.
• Do not perform any calibrations while in Special mode.
• Do not restore the factory zero or prior zero.
• Do not use discrete events (the dual-setpoint event model) while in Special mode. Instead, use
Event 1 and Event 2 from the single-setpoint event model. See Section 8.11.
