  • Page 92: Extended Operation Modes

    External Control Group Switching (EGS) Use the ST100A Series configuration software (configurator) to set up an extended mode. The optional front panel HMI menu cannot be used to set up this feature. Once the instrument is set up with an extended operation mode, the mode’s initials (EFI or EGS) are shown on the optional front panel display to show that the mode is active.

  • Page 93: Figure 61 - Example Extended Op. Mode Tab (Configuration)

    This mode connects two separate ST100A Series flow meters for continuous flow averaging. This is done by sending 4-20 mA output current (relative to flow rate) from one ST100A Series flow meter (Slave) to the Auxiliary Input port of the other ST100A Series flow meter (Master).
