Chapter 4
Configuring Process Measurement
4.1
Overview
The process measurement parameters control how the transmitter interprets data from the sensor. 
Process measurement parameters include the following:
Characterization parameters – see Section 4.2
General flow parameters – see Section 4.3
Mass flow parameters – see Section 4.4
Volume flow parameters – see Section 4.5
Density parameters – see Section 4.7
Temperature parameters – see Section 4.8
Pressure compensation parameters – see Section 4.9
Before beginning configuration, make an administrative connection to the transmitter and ensure that 
you are complying with all applicable safety requirements.
4.2
Characterizing the flowmeter
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique traits of the sensor 
it is paired with. The characterization parameters, or calibration parameters, describe the sensor’s 
sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
If the transmitter and sensor were ordered together, the flowmeter was characterized at the factory. 
You need to characterize the flowmeter only if the transmitter and sensor are being paired together for 
the first time. However, you may want to verify the characterization parameters.
The characterization parameters are listed in Table 4-1. The characterization parameters for your 
sensor are provided on the sensor tag.
