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
Specific Gravity, Molecular
Weight, or Relative Density
Line Temperature
Line Pressure
Sensor Time Period
Pickoff Voltage
Drive Gain

View process variables and diagnostic variables

Process variables provide information about the state of the process fluid. Diagnostic
variables provide data about meter operation. This information can be used to understand
and troubleshoot your process.
