Chapter 3. Programming Site Data
On the PT878, a Program Menu (part of the Main Menu) enables you to 
enter information that is specific to each site: 
Transducer types and paths
Pipe materials and linings
Fluid types
Heating or cooling energy flow rate
Analog input and output parameters
Digital output parameters
User functions
Correction factors
For immediate operation, the PT878 requires only transducer, pipe and fluid 
data. However, additional information allows you to tailor measurements as 
specifically as possible to your particular application. Once you have 
entered this data, you can save it in files and recall these files for later use. 
The PT878 can store up to 1 MB (or 32 site files) of data in the meter at any 
one time. But through the infrared link, users can store an unlimited number 
of sites in a PC, and then upload the sites they will actually use.
This chapter covers entering:
Transducer, pipe, and fluid parameters
Input/output and other setup parameters
User functions.
