Effect of Flow Direction on discrete outputs
The Flow Direction parameter affects the discrete output behavior only if Discrete Output
Source is set to Flow Direction.

Effect of Flow Direction on flow totals
Flow Direction affects how flow totals and inventories are calculated.
(3) Refer to the digital communications status bits for an indication of whether flow is positive or negative.
