PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
Programming the SP3000 Flow Computer for the desired operation is very simple. All programming
selections and data entry are accomplished via the 16 keys located and labeled on the front panel. The
software in the unit contains two Top Level Menus: “Setup” Menu and “Running” Menu. The “Setup” Menu
allows the selection of operating parameters and entry of data variables. The “Computation” selection sets
the formulas used to process the raw input data into meaningful information. The “Engineering Units”
selection establishes the measuring system that is used for entry and display of the data. The “Hardware”
selection sets the type of input data and activates the proper input terminals on the rear of the unit. The
unit will automatically determine the setup parameter requirements based on the “Computation” and
“Hardware” selections. Prompts are displayed for entry of the required data as the operator progresses
through the setup menu. To aid in the setup, a calibration worksheet is provided. Fill out the worksheet
before beginning setup. Review this section for setup procedures and follow the worksheet for data to be
entered.
The “Running” menu allows the setup of the data display and examination of the programmed operating
parameters. The parameters may not be changed in the “Running” menu.
Either menu allows checking the alarm, clearing the totalizer, or accessing the lock.
