18.3 Batch process screen
Figure 18-1 shows the Series 3000 display in batch operation mode, ready to start a batch.
The display shows that there have been zero kilograms of actual delivery in this batch. When flow
starts, the display is continuously updated to show the actual amount that has been delivered.
The display can be set up to show either the amount that has been delivered (Count Up) or the amount
remaining to be delivered (Count Down). To configure Count Up or Count Down, see Section 11.5.
