5.6.1Daniel MeterLink meter configuration overview

The Field Setup Wizard allows you to enter site specific information into the meter and is only available while connected to a meter. It is designed to be used once during initial startup of the meter to enter information unique to the meter’s installation. It can be used at a later time to change the meter configuration. The Field Setup Wizard is the only way in Daniel MeterLink to change the following parameters:

Meter units systemVolumetric flow rate timeGage or Absolute Pressure type

Depending on the version of firmware running on the meter, some options may be disabled or unavailable in the Field Setup Wizard if the firmware can not support the option. The Field Setup Wizard provides an overall guide to configuring the Daniel Mark III Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter.

It identifies the groups of data points that must be configured, along with interrelations and dependencies that should be considered when configuring the meter.

The data displayed in the Field Setup Wizard is from the connected meter. If you use the Field Setup Wizard more than once, you only have to change the properties desired and you will not have to completely reconfigure the meter. Clicking the Finish button on the final page of the wizard will write the changes to the meter.

Daniel MeterLink prompts you to save the meter configuration (if configured), under Program Settings.

For Daniel Mark III Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter meters, the Security switch S2 position 4 on the CPU board must be closed or down towards the board to enable writes to protected configuration registers.

Daniel MeterLink provides context-sensitive help for each screen via the F1 shortcut key. For help at any time, press the F1 key and Daniel MeterLink opens a pop-up window with information or detailed instructions about any topic.
