8.1 Record the process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of specific process variable measurements,
including the acceptable range of measurements, under normal operating conditions. This
data will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or low, and may
help you better diagnose and troubleshoot application issues.
Procedure
Record the following process variables, under normal operating conditions:
Process variable
Measurement
Typical average Typical high Typical low
Flow rate
Density
Temperature
Tube frequency
Pickoff voltage
Drive gain
