Serial Port - Select which serial port will be connected to the GC. While the port is
configured for communications to a GC, it will not act as a Modbus slave device for
communications from Daniel MeterLink or a SCADA system.
GC protocol - Select the protocol for which the GC is configured. The Daniel Gas Ultrasonic
meter uses 7 data bits, Even parity, and 1 stop bit for ASCII Modbus and 8 data bits, No
parity, and 1 stop bit for RTU Modbus.
GC baud rate - Select the baud rate for which the GC is configured.
GC comms address - Enter the Modbus ID of the GC.
GC stream number - Enter the stream number for the gas composition the Daniel Gas
Ultrasonic meter will read.
GC heating value units - Select the units for which the heating value is configured in the
GC.
–
Btu/ft3
–
kJ/m3
–
kJ/dm3
–
MJ/m3
–
kCal/m3
–

GC heating value type - Select the type of heating value the GC will return.
–
Btu-Dry
–
Btu-Saturated
–
Btu-Actual
Gas composition on GC alarm - Select which gas composition the Daniel Gas Ultrasonic
meter will use if the GC goes into alarm.
–
Fixed - if selected, the meter will start using the fixed gas composition stored in the
meter
–
Last Good Value - if selected, the meter will use the last gas composition collected
from the GC before the GC started to report alarms.
