Required Transmitter Configuration

4.4Configuring the measurement units

For each process variable, the transmitter must be configured to use the measurement unit appropriate to your application.

To configure measurement units, see the menu flowchart in Figure 4-6. For details on measurement units for each process variable, see Sections 4.4.1 through 4.4.5.

4.4.1Mass flow units

The default mass flow measurement unit is g/s. See Table 4-3 for a complete list of mass flow measurement units.

If the mass flow unit you want to use is not listed, you can define a special measurement unit for mass flow (see Section 6.4).
