Note: The following procedures assume that the device has been
placed in the OOS (out-of-service) mode before executing.
Selecting the Desired
Measurements
To set the measurement unit for each AI:
1. Double click on the FLOW Transducer Block (in the tree under
GEFlow-XMT).
2. Select the Others tab and open the drop down list for the
PRIMARY_SELECTOR and SECONDARY_SELECTOR (refer to
Figure D-2 on page D-3).
3. Choose the unit from the list (see Figure D-2 on page D-3).
This unit will correspond to the unit that is available in the AI block
for network connection. The PRIMARY_SELECTOR unit will
correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_1 and the SECONDARY_SELECTOR
will correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_2.
