    6.1 Calibration structure Fig 6 shows the BA354D calibration structure. The 4/20mA input current, which in flow applications represents flow rate, is displayed on the five digit rate display.

    For example, if a BA354D is displaying rate in litres per minute, setting 'SCALE-t' to 4.5461 produces a total display in UK gallons. Alternatively, setting 'SCALE-t' to 4546.1 will produce a total display in thousands of UK gallons. The total is calculated and the display updated twice per second, which defines the resolution of the total flow display.
