3. ► Select IODD for the required operating mode. Each of the three operating modes has its own IODD: - SAxxxx (operating mode REL for flow measurement in liquids and air) - SAxxx_GAS (operating mode GAS for flow measurement in air) - SAxxx_LIQU (operating mode LIQU for flow measurement in liquids) If the required IODD is not available in the unit catalogue, it has to be downloaded in the online mode (→...
