[MFC] is used to select the MFC Profile for the active MFC-CB device channel.
When an optional MFC Switchbox is connected and activated on the current device
channel, [MFC] also specifies which Switchbox channel to use (see Section 3.4.6).

ATION
To select the MFC profile for the active MFC-CB device channel, press [MFC] from the
run screen.
If an optional MFC Switchbox is connected and
active on the active MFC-CB device channel (see
Section 3.4.6), when [M
FC] is first pressed the
screen prompts the operator:
Enter Switchbox channel <1>, <2>, <3>, <4> or <5> as desired.
If an MFC Switchbox is NOT being used, the first
display is:
The number refers to the MFC profile number (see Section 3.3.1, PRINCIPLE).
The
profile number shown is the last profile number used. Edit the profile number to the
desired profile and press [ENTER]. When the profile number is entered, a summary of
the profile is displayed. Press [ESCAPE] to back up and select a different profile.
Press [ENTER] to return to the run screen with the selected MFC profile active.
MFC-CB cannot operate with a different type of electrical signal on its two
device channels. Selecting an MFC profile whose electrical signal is different for the
electrical signal active on the other channel prompts a warning that confirming the profile
will cause the other channel to switch to the default factory profile that specifies the
same electrical signal as the profile being selected (#1 for voltage, #2 for current).
MFC profiles #1 and #2 are factory default profiles. #1 is for 0 to 5 V operation and #2 is
for 4 to 20 mA operation. These do not support operation in a flow unit. If you have not
yet set up any custom profiles, use profile #1 or #2 to operate. To set up custom MFC
profiles that include flow units, see Section 3.3.1.
Pressing [+/-] from a run screen causes an instant display of a summary of the MFC
profile that is active on the active device channel. This can be used for a quick check of
the characteristics of the currently active MFC profile.
MFC profile selections made using [MFC] are device channel specific. The set point
entered on one device channel does not affect the other channel.
