bit10=1 if the flow rate is negative
bit11=1 if a new measurement value calculated for the display is available
bit12=1 if the counter block signal is active

To request the transmission of a single parameter, assign the values of byte 0 and byte 1 in the request as follows,
bearing in mind that the data in the memory block has fixed positions:
PARAMETER TO READ Byte 0 Byte 1

Flow rate measurement unit 12 5
Totalizers measurement unit 17 3
Decimal figures for the totalizers 20 1
Decimal figures for flow rate display 21 1
Totalizer for TOTAL volume + 22 4
Totalizer for PARTIAL volume + 26 4
Totalizer for TOTAL volume - (or dosage quantity) 30 4
Totalizer for PARTIAL volume -(or dosed quantity) 34 4
Date and time in minutes 38 4
Process flags 42 2
Measurement samples per second in Hz 44 1
Measurement dynamic variation in % 45 1
NOTES:
The values in the “32 bits single precision IEEE floating point” format are floating point numbers which can
be represented during writing by any decimal digits. To keep the same numerical format visible on the
instrument display however, it is necessary to calculate the decimal figures with a rather complex
algorithm which takes account of instrument precision, flow rate measurement unit, etc. For this purpose
