Data Format:
The data stream on the screen represents the flow parameters of the main mode

in the units shown on the display.
For mass flow controllers, there are six columns of data representing pressure,

temperature, volumetric flow, mass flow, set-point, and the selected gas
The first column is absolute pressure (normally in psia), the second column is

temperature (normally in °C), the third column is volumetric flow rate (in the

units specified at time of order and shown on the display), the fourth column is

mass flow (also in the units specified at time of order and shown on the display),

the fifth column is the currently selected set-point value, the sixth column

designates the currently selected gas. For instance, if the controller was ordered

in units of scfm, the display on the controller would read 2.004 scfm and the last

two columns of the output below would represent volumetric flow and mass

flow in cfm and scfm respectively.

Note: On units with the totalizer function, the sixth column will be the totalizer

value, with gas select moving to a seventh column.
