The transmitter requires all matrices to be in .matrix format. You can use ProLink III to load matrices in other
formats:
• .edf (used by ProLink II)
• .xml (used by ProLink III)
The transmitter can store matrices in two locations:
• One of the six slots in memory
• The transmitter's SD card
Any matrix in a slot is available for use. In other words, it can be selected as the active matrix and used for
measurement. Matrices on the SD card are not available for use. They must be loaded into a slot before they
can be used for measurement.
All matrices in slots must use the same derived variable. Matrices on the SD card have no requirement for
their derived variables to match.
See the following table for the different ways that you can load matrices.

Action
Load matrix from USB drive to SD card
Load matrix from computer to slot
Load matrix from SD card to slot
Requirements for derived variables
A derived variable is the process variable that a concentration matrix measures. All other process variables are
calculated from the derived variable. There are eight possible derived variables. Each matrix is designed for
one specific derived variable.
The transmitter can store up to six matrices in six slots, and additional matrices on the transmitter's SD card.
All matrices in the six slots must use the same derived variable. If you change the setting of Derived Variable,
all matrices are deleted from the six slots. Any matrices on the transmitter's SD card are not affected.
Tip
Always ensure that Derived Variable is set correctly before loading matrices into slots.
Derived variables and net flow rate
If you want the transmitter to calculate Net Mass Flow Rate, the derived variable must be set to Mass
Concentration (Density). If your matrix is not designed for Mass Concentration (Density), contact customer
support for assistance.
If you want the transmitter to calculate Net Volume Flow Rate, the derived variable must be set to Volume
Concentration (Density). If your matrix is not designed for Volume Concentration (Density), contact customer
support for assistance.
Derived variables based on specific gravity
The following derived variables are based on specific gravity:
