Conguring the Rate Display
The Rate display comprises two parts: a volume unit and a time-base unit. The volume portion of the Rate
display can be congured in one of ve preprogrammed engineering units or in a user-dened unit (for
use with a calculated divisor). To display the volume portion in multiples of 1,000 units, continue scrolling
through the volume unit options until the ×1000 entry is displayed, along with the appropriate unit of
measure.
The time-base portion of the Rate display can be congured in one of four preprogrammed engineering units:
per day, per hour, per minute, or per second.
Users can specify a decimal point position, ranging from no decimal up to 0.001 of a unit.
To Congure the Rate Display:
Enter the Display menu. Press DISPLAY MENU.

Note—If a calculated divisor was
entered, select user-dened (no units
visible).
Enter the time-base factor used to
express ow rate (Ex. /day in bbl/day).
Press LEFT ARROW. The time-base

Caution: An overrun error occurs when the number of digits in the ow rate value exceeds the
display capacity of the device. To clear this error, reduce the number of decimal places
(for example, display rate in tenths rather than hundredths), or enable the “× 1000” unit
setting for the rate display, as described in the procedure above, to display rate in terms
of thousands of units.
