4.1.5 Changing default control mode

Instruments are delivered with either analog or digital signal as default, depending on customer’s requirement. After
every (power on) reset the instrument will return to its default control mode.

The default control mode can be changed with the following parameter:

IOStatus

Type Access

Range

FlowDDE

FLOW-BUS

Unsigned char

RW  0…255

86

114/11


Bit 6 [7..0] represents the former analog jumper.
1 = default control mode is analog
0 = default control mode is digital

Procedure for changing default digital operation to default analog operation:

Read IOStatus

Add 64 to the read value

4.1.6 Display filter

The output signal of a LIQUI-FLOW mini instrument (measured value) is filtered. The filter has dynamic behaviour:
when a change in sensor signal is detected, the measured value will be less filtered than when the sensor signal is
constant and stable. There are two filter constants: Static Display Factor and Dynamic Display Factor. These two
factors can be transformed into time constants using the following formula:

factor

factor

cycletime

=

1

τ


The measured value is filtered with a first order low pass filter with a filter time constant between these two τ values.
