Advanced Configuration Functionality
5.5.4 Special volume unit
Special volume unit enables you to display the volume unit format to which you have converted
the base volume units. For example, if the special units are abc/min, the special volume variable
is abc. The volume units variable is also used in totalizing the special units flow.
5.5.5 Special flow rate unit
Flow rate unit is a format variable that provides a record of the units to which you are converting.
The Handheld Communicator will display a special units designator as the units format for your
primary variable. The actual special units setting you define will not appear. Four characters are
available to store the new units designation. The 8732EM LOI will display the four character
designation as configured.
Example
To display flow in acre-feet per day, and acre-foot is equal to 43560 cubic feet, the procedure
would be:
1. Set the volume unit to ACFT.
2. Set the base volume unit to ft3.
3. Set the conversion factor to 43560.
4. Set the time base unit to Day.
5. Set the flow rate unit to AF/D.
