out of. There are up to 32 color tables for each
channel.

Tells the flow controller what the value in cc/min is
for that channel. Valid ranges for this parameter
are 0 thru 800 cc/min. Note that the Node Adapter
takes the commanded flow rate and converts it to
a frequency command, in hertz, prior to sending it
to the flow controller. The Node Adapter module
uses the KFR value to perform this conversion
calculation.

K-Factor For Rate (KFR) K-Factor For Rate (KFR) K-Factor For Rate (KFR) K-Factor For Rate (KFR) K-Factor For Rate (KFR)
The KFR is use by the controller to scale the real
time flow rate. The decimal point can be
programmed by setting the KFR DP Data
KFR DP Data KFR DP Data KFR DP Data KFR DP Data value.
This parameter is also used by the Node Adapt-er
to convert the commanded flow rate and flow rate
limits that are specified in cc/min to the frequency
command required by the flow controller. The
formula for calculating the KFR is:
KFR = 6000 / (X Pulses/Engineering unit)
The value of X Pulses per Engineering Unit can be
found in the calibration sheets supplied with the
flow meter. It is advisable to use numbers greater
than 100 and less than 9000.

This parameter is a three byte variable programmed
in ASCII. This parameter is used by the DM-3000
to indicate engineering units for the real time flow
rate display. Any ASCII characters can be
programmed here.

This parameter tells the flow controller how many
decimal places the KFR uses. If the value
programmed for KFR is 3 digits (i.e., 725), set this
parameter to zero. If the KFR is 4 digits (i.e.,
7255), set this parameter to one to indicate that
7255 is really 725.5. Any engineering unit can be
constructed by the ASCII values set.

This parameter is used by the flow controller to
scale the totalized flow rate. The decimal point can
be programmed by setting the KFT DP Data

value. This parameter is also used by the Node
Adapter to convert the flow rate total limits that are
specified in cc/min to the frequency command
required by the flow controller. The formula for
calculating the KFT is:
KFT = 10,000 / (X Pulses/Engineering unit)
The value of X Pulses per Engineering Unit can be
found in the calibration sheets supplied with the
flow meter. It is advisable to use numbers greater
than 100 and less than 9000.

programmed for KFR is 4 digits(i.e., 1206), set this
parameter to zero. If the KFR is 5 digits(i.e.,
12065), set this parameter to one to indicate that
12065 is really 1206.5. Any engineering unit can
be constructed by the ASCII values set.
