Data Bits
You can specify how many data bits the meter uses to format data words for serial transmissions. The
default setting is [7]. (Note that the 996P portable printer requires a word length of [8].)
To set the Data word length:

Line Feed
Some serial devices (printers, terminals, etc.) insert a line feed automatically after they receive a car-
riage return character. When communicating with these device types, you should set the [Line Feed]
menu cell to [OFF]. This instructs the flow computer to send a carriage return character without adding a
line feed to avoid creating an additional blank line after each carriage return. Setting the [Line Feed] to
[ON] tells the flow computer to insert a line feed character after each carriage return that it transmits.
This may be necessary to avoid the constant "wrapping" of transmitted data onto a single line. The
factory setting is [NO] (line feed disabled). Note that the 996P portable printer requires [NO].
To enable (or disable) Line Feed:
To access the [Line Feed] option list press
Press
To store the data press
Network ID
The [Network ID] menu cell stores an identification number to facilitate host computer polling when you
use this system in a network environment. The Network ID number can be any value other than 0 (zero).
The default setting, zero, disables the network function. Note that entering a non-zero Network ID num-
ber suspends all routine Datalogger activity regardless of any selected options.
NOTE: If you are using the flowmeter for a "stand-alone" application, you must keep the zero
Network ID number.
