How to set mass counter units in MASS-VIEW?
It is currently not possible to set the counter units in the MASS-VIEW to use “mass” units (ug, mg, g, kg) using the menu. There is a “work around” by setting this parameter using a Windows PC with RS-232 or USB.
This is the procedure how to do this.
Your Question: Customer can not read the Counter unit in mass flow
Solution: Change the sensortype of the instrument using FlowDDE ( parameter 22 from 131 into 130).
Action to take:
- Change parameter 22 from value 131 to value 130:
- Connect instrument to a Serial Comm port of a PC.
- Install FlowDDE Software
- Make FlowDDE connection with the instrument and write/read values by FlowDDE server menu “Test FLOW-BUS and DDE F6 “.
- Select the parameter number by the dropdown menu or by entering the number in the box, select read or write as described.
- change parameter 22 from value 131 to value 130:–
- Parameter 7 (initreset) –> Write value 64 (Soft will enable writing parameter 22).
- Parameter 7 (initreset) –> Read parameter and check value.
- Parameter 22 (Sensortype)–> Write value 130.
- Parameter 22 (Sensortype)–> Read parameter and check value.
- Parameter 7 (initreset) –> Write value 82 (NormalRunningMode).
- Parameter 7 (initreset) –> Read parameter and check value.
Now the Counter value is available in the mass units
