Terminal Mode Menu Commands
In addition to Menu, the following commands (followed by the <ENT> key) can be used to control the
flowmeter while in Terminal Mode.
Note that "n" refers to the flowmeter Channel number. For a dual channel Arithmetic site (Ch1 + Ch2 or
Ch1 – Ch2) the virtual Channel is number 3.
Logger – Invokes the download of all data stored in the datalogger. Note that the datalogger data is not
