Overview
Mass Flow Measurement Unit specifies the unit of measure that will be used for the mass
flow rate. The unit used for mass total and mass inventory is derived from this unit.
Any selected measurement unit, (mass, volume or gas standard volume), is automatically
applied to both the mA and Frequency Outputs.
Procedure
Set Mass Flow Measurement Unit to the unit you want to use.
The default setting for Mass Flow Measurement Unit is g/sec (grams per second).
Tip
If the measurement unit you want to use is not available, you can define a special measurement unit.
