Using the Transmitter
5.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to use the transmitter in everyday operation. The following topics and
procedures are discussed:
• Recording process variables (see Section 5.2)
• Viewing process variables (see Section 5.3)
• Viewing transmitter status and alarms, and the alarm log (see Section 5.4)
• Viewing and using the totalizers and inventories (see Section 5.5)
For information on using the filling and dosing application, see Chapter 8.
Note: All ProLink II procedures provided in this section assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 2 for more
information.
5.2 Recording process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of the process variables listed below, under normal
operating conditions. This will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or
low, and may help in fine-tuning transmitter configuration.
Record the following process variables:
• Flow rate
• Density
•Temperature
• Tube frequency
• Pickoff voltage
•Drive gain
For information on using this information in troubleshooting, see Section 11.11.
