Note: In order to configure properties for Orifice Host Calculated, the Data Source on the Orifice Meter tab must be set to Orifice Host Calculated. This is only available for use in conjunction with AVEVA Enterprise SCADA.

Selected Fields on Meter Properties: Orifice Host Calculated Tab
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Generate history |
Enables the collection of hourly Historical data for this host meter. |
|
Calculate corrected volume |
Enable the calculation of the corrected volume (if not measured). |
|
Compute energy |
Enable the calculation of the energy using the current active gas analysis data (if not measured). |
|
Compute hydrocarbon dewpoint |
Enable the calculation of the hydrocarbon dewpoint and phase envelope (if the Hydrocarbon Dewpoint module is installed). |
|
Compute mass |
Enable the calculation of the mass using the current corrected volume (if not measured). |
|
Orifice Input Paths |
The Orifice Input Path (for example, the Static pressure input path) is more flexible, allowing you to define where the input data can be read from, and should be used whenever you are defining new inputs. The input path should be formatted as follows: tableName.pointName.fieldName |
|
Static temperature input path |
Defines a path to a table, point and field in the RealTime database (RTDB) that measures the static temperature for this meter |
|
Static pressure input path |
Defines a path to a table, point and field in the RTDB that measures the static pressure for this meter. |
|
Differential pressure input path |
Defines a path to a table, point and field in the RTDB that measures the differential pressure for this meter. |
|
Corrected volume input path |
Defines a path to a table, point and field in the RTDB that measures the corrected volume for this meter. |
|
Energy input path |
Defines a path to a table, point and field in the RTDB that measures the energy for this meter. |
|
Mass input path |
Defines a path to a table, point and field in the RTDB that measures the mass for this meter. |
|
Orifice Analog / Rate Inputs |
The Orifice Analog / Rate Inputs (for example, the Static pressure input) restrict the input to either a rate or an analog, depending on the type of input. This is is provided for backwards compatibility. The Orifice Input Paths should be used when defining new inputs. |
|
Static temperature input |
Defines the analog point name in the RealTime database (RTDB) that measures the static temperature for this meter. |
|
Static pressure input |
Defines the analog point name in the RealTime database (RTDB) that measures the static pressure for this meter. |
|
Differential pressure input |
Defines the analog point name in the RTDB that measures the differential pressure for this meter. |
|
Corrected volume input |
Defines the rate point name in the RTDB that measures the corrected volume for this meter (if not calculating). |
|
Energy input |
Defines the rate point name in the RTDB that measures the energy for this meter (if not calculating). |
|
Mass input |
Defines the rate point name in the RTDB that measures the mass for this meter (if not calculating). |
Note: If an invalid name or path is entered, it will not be replicated to the RealTime database. An error will be written to the meas2realtime log indicating the meter with the incorrect path.
