VPFlowScope display lay-out

1. Introduction

The display can be adjusted to fit your application. In this chapter we cover:

Possible settings for the display
How to adjust the settings via the display and VPStudio 2

Each programming manner gives you different possibilities. So read the entire chapter to learn all the options.

2. Display Overview

2.1 Rows

The default rows are:

The rows of the options can be adjusted to fit your application best. Each row can be adjusted to any of the options:

Measurand	Available units	Description
Empty		Leaves the display row empty
Flow	m³_n/sec m³_n/h l_n/min SCFM m³_n/min sfps	Normalized
Pressure	bar psi	Gauge
Temperature	°C °F
Totalizer	m³_n	Normalized
Custom*		5 available units to be configured with VPStudio. Multiply an existing unit with a user-defined factor.

2.2. Custom unit

Create your own custom unit as multiple factors of one of the parameters. This can be handy for instance in extreme conditions like small flows.

Keep in mind that for the VPFlowScope the custom unit has to be configured using the VPStudio 2 software after which it can be selected from the display.

Example: Flow in m³_n/D.

Unit: base for the calculation. E.g. Flow m³_n/hr
Factor: multiplies the unit for the end result. E.g. 24
Name: select your own name (max 5 characters). E.g. m³_n/D.
The end name will be Unit + Name, so here Flow m³_n/D.

Example: Show compressed airflow as costs.
E.g. 1 SCFM costs 0.13 USD:

Unit: base for the calculation. E.g. Flow SCFM
Factor: multiplies the unit for the end result. E.g. 0.13
Name: select your own name (max 5 characters). E.g. USD.

To see your custom unit on the home screen you have to adjust your rows and select the custom unit.

2.3 Display dim time

The display backlight dim time can be adjusted here. The default dim time is set to 10 sec. Other available options are:

Fading off. The backlight will remain on.
5 till 30 seconds with steps of 5 seconds.
