Record the process variables

Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of specific process variable measurements,
including the acceptable range of measurements, under normal operating conditions. This
data will help you recognize when the process or diagnostic variables are unusually high or
low, and may help you diagnose and troubleshoot application issues.
Procedure
Record the following process and diagnostic variables, under normal operating conditions.
Variable
Line Density
Line Temperature
Sensor Time Period
Pickoff Voltage
Drive Gain

View process variables

Process variables provide information about the state of the process fluid, such as flow
rate, density, and temperature, as well as running totals. Process variables can also provide
data about flowmeter operation, such as drive gain and pickoff voltage. This information
can be used to understand and troubleshoot your process.
