2.2Programming Procedure
Print Program - Pressing this key will make the flow meter print out a complete list of the current program choices retained in memory.
Print Report - One function of the flow meter is to print reports of all recorded activity at regular intervals. The contents of these reports are defined in step 1. If you set up the report generator, you can have a report printed anytime by pressing this key. The report will cover the time from the last scheduled report up to when you press this key.
The flow meter will print its next report at the next scheduled time. Note that if power fails for five minutes or more, the flow meter will print a report when power is restored that will cover the interval between the last report and the time that the power failed. The next report will cover the time from the power failure to next scheduled report time.

Number keys - These keys let you enter numeric values into the flow meter when programming.
Decimal Point - This key lets you enter a decimal point into a numeric value when programming. On flow meters equipped with the optional modem only, you can use this character as a comma (delay) when entering dialout numbers.
Arrow keys - These keys, referred to as the left and right arrow keys let you select a programming option by moving across the menus shown on the second line of the display.
+/– key - This key lets you enter a plus or minus to a quantity entered. Its most common use is in entering values for the equation, a method of flow conversion. On flow meters equipped with the optional modem only, you can use this character as a dash when entering dialout numbers.
To start programming, turn on the flow meter and wait for the display to settle. Then either press the Enter/Program Step key (generally referred to as Enter) or the Go To Program Step key.
The display will change to two lines of text; the first line describes the step you are programming and the second line shows the choices available. One choice shown will be flashing. The flashing indicates that this is the current one held in the memory. If you are satisfied with this choice, just press Enter, and the flow meter will advance to the next step.
