Navigating The Sitrans Menu; Figure 5-5 Main Menu Screen - Siemens SITRANS F Operating Instructions Manual

Communicating with SITRANS Flowmeter

5.2 Navigating the SITRANS Menu

5.2 Navigating the SITRANS Menu
When the "? For help" response is seen the user may simply type "menu<CR>" to gain
access to the SITRANS flowmeter menu, they can then utilize the 4 directional arrow keys to
navigate the menu just as with the meter's keypad. The iOS screen will mimic the flowmeter
display screen as you navigate through the menu. Programming of the flowmeter can be
carried-out identically to utilizing the flowmeter keypad. Since programming fundamentals
are well documented in the SITRANS "Quick Start" and "Operating Instructions" manuals,
they will not be replicated in this manual.
Note
If no menu navigation occurs for 30 continuous seconds the connection will time out. Simply
type MENU again to re-establish communication. This time period can be extended by typing
"menu_N" with "N" representing the number of seconds before time out (e.g. menu 1000)
