After power-up the control mode will be set to ‘Analog input’ or ‘BUS/RS232’, depending on the customer’s default

setting for analog or digital operation. Except when the actual control mode setting is other than 0, 1, 9 or 18 the

actual control mode setting is maintained. For more information see parameter ‘IOStatus’, section 4.2.2.

For dual interface operation or slave factors, see document nr. 9.17.023: Operational instructions for

digital instruments.

The ‘Fluid number’ is a pointer to the set of calbration parameters. Each selectable fluid has its own set of calibration

parameter values. Parameter value 0 = fluid 1 and parameter value 7 = fluid 8. Up to eight fluids can be stored in an

instrument. Default value = 0 (fluid 1).
