Keypad
Control of the flow computer is via the front-panel 34 button, imprinted
alpha-numeric character membrane keypad with tactile domes and audio
feedback. Imprinted characters are color coded to indicate operator
and program functions as well as primary and secondary alpha-numeric
functions.
The Keypad provides the user with a unique on-line capability to configure
measurement and control data, perform diagnostic tasks and display
operator information. Context-sensitive help screens are provided
as an additional aid.
Configuration program and diagnostic data can be entered via the keypad
or remotely by serial hook-up into battery-backed up, CMOS SRAM memory.
Security codes and an internal mechanical switch ensure that configure/program
functions can be disabled when required.

Display
The 4 line x 20 alpha-numeric character back-lit Liquid Crystal Display
is updated every 500 ms and displays all messages and system variables
in English language engineering units. Four dual-color LEDs indicate
various operating modes and alarms. Three nonresettable 6 digit electromechanical
counters are included on the front panel and can be programmed to
count gross, net, mass or energy units at any rate up to 10 counts
per second. |
