Communication
Settings
Under the Global Configuration menu item, you can change communications settings,
enter and/or change the Master Password, set the date and time, and saving the changes.
The Global Configuration settings apply to the flowmeter as a whole and are not
associated with numbered Configuration Sets. Changes take effect when you highlight
Save Changes and press the ENTER soft button. The Setup Root Menu then re-
appears. This may disrupt communication, depending on what changes have been made.
Any changes are lost if the flowmeter loses power before the changes are saved or the
user presses the ESC soft button until the Setup Root Menu returns to the top level
and then one more press.
The following sub-sections explain further what happens when you highlight a choice
and acts on it by pressing the ENTER soft button.
