TEST - System Prompts - Section 10
Prompt section which provides access to various test routines.
Text
A general term which refers to a parameter that is a series of characters, such as a display tag, units, or contents
of a configurable message.
TIME BASE - System Prompts - Configuration - Totalizers - Page 4-54
Parameter that specifies the time base of the flow rate, so the instrument can calculate the total. The choices are
units: PER SEC, PER MIN, PER HOUR, PER DAY, and PULSES.
Time between print cycles - see Print interval
TIME FORMAT - System Prompts - Configuration - Instrument Settings - Page 4-75
Parameter that specifies the format for displaying time; AM/PM or 24 HOUR.
TIME FORMAT - System Prompts - Configuration - Timers - Page 4-62
Parameter that specifies the time format for timers; SECONDS, MINUTES:SECONDS, or
HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS.
TIMER TYPE - System Prompts - Configuration - Timers - Page 4-62
Parameter that specifies the type of timer; OFF, COUNT UP, or COUNT DOWN.
TIMERS - System Prompts - Configuration - Page 4-61
Prompts section that configures periodic actuators that can control instrument activities. Timers can count up to a
terminal value or count down from a value to zero. At the end of the timing function, their respective actuators are
set true. Each timer has a reset actuator, which when true, causes the timer value to be set to its initial value.
TMx RESET ACTUATOR - System Prompts - Confiugration - Timers - Page 4-63
Parameter that selects an actuator, which when true, causes the specified timer value to be set to its initial value
(zero or the Timer Period value), depending on whether the Timer Type is Count Up or Count Down.
TOTAL IS FLOW - System Prompts - Configuration - Totalizers - Page 4-55
Parameter used to specify what scaling factor the flow value should be multiplied by in calculating the total value.
If the choice TIMES 1,000,000 is selected, and the flow was 0.3 MGD (Million Gallons per Day), at the end of a
day the total would be 0.3 million gallons, but the totalizer would display a value of 300,000 (0.3 times 1,000,000)
and the total would correspond to gallons, maybe displayed as GAL.
TOTALIZER GENERAL FORMULA
The general formula for the totals, calculated each second is:
TOTAL = TOTAL + (VALUE / TTB) * FACTOR
Where:
VALUE is the once a second value or one second average for the
selected input source.
TTB is
1 for TOTAL TIME BASE - PER SECOND
60 for TOTAL TIME BASE - PER MINUTE
3600 for TOTAL TIME BASE - PER HOUR
86400 for TOTAL TIME BASE - PER DAY
FACTOR is the selected factor (.0001 to 100000)
TOTALIZER TYPE - System Prompts - Configuration - Totalizers - Page 4-56
Parameter that specifies one of four types of totalizing; CONTINUOUS, PRE-LOAD, COUNT TO PRESET, or
COUNT DOWN PRESET.
