Configuration Utility 
Setup

The following is an example setup using National Instruments 
Configuration Utility v3.1.

Figure 2 below shows the Configuration Utility with an 

XMT868

 flow 

meter on the network (GE Flow-XMT).

Figure 2: Configuration Utility Setup Example

Note:

The following procedures assume that the device has been placed 
in the OOS (out-of-service) mode before executing.

Selecting the Desired 
Measurements

To set the measurement unit for each AI:

1.

Double click on the 

FLOW

 Transducer Block (in the tree under 

GEFlow-XMT

).

2.

Select the 

Others

 tab and open the drop down list for the 

PRIMARY_SELECTOR

 and 

SECONDARY_SELECTOR

 (see Figure 3 on 

page 4).

3.

Choose the unit from the list (see Figure 3 on page 4).

This unit will correspond to the unit that is available in the AI block for 
network connection. The 

PRIMARY_SELECTOR

 unit will correspond to 

ANALOG_INPUT_1

 and the 

SECONDARY_SELECTOR

 will correspond to 

ANALOG_INPUT_2
