Selecting A Meter Type - Siemens SITRANS F Operating Instructions Manual

Section 1
The Diagnostic Menu area has been similarly conditioned to provide the data generated by the physical
measurement channels when those are selected but suppress elements that are only provided by the
virtual channel. Once you install a multi-path application, explore the diagnostic menus and, using the
Path Select menu item, note those data items which are enabled for each path.
As mentioned above, you should use a partially installed multi-path site in order to direct all meter Input/
Output to a single measurement path. Simply install the single available physical path and you will find
that the meter will produce data based on only this physical input. In this way, you obtain the same
functionality which is provided to the single channel 1010 user.

nology and then go directly to Channel Setup. The site setup procedure for a single-
