Product Alert #29
Version 3.03 Software - Model 6301A/B - Versions before 3.033 Serial #s to 470
Cross-section areas and flow calculations are 100 times too big
8 January 1996
Problem
The values calculated for cross-section areas (and hence flow calculations which depend on the calculated cross-section area value) are 100 times too big.
Symptom
Areas which should be 16dm2 are reported as 1600dm2, etc.
Correction
Download the Version 3 Update.
This problem has been corrected in software versions 3.04 and later.
Alternative Correction (from Measurement Engineering Australia)
You will need a new copy of PDLEDIT.EXE to fix the problem permanently. However, an interim solution is to enter the files listed below into the main STARFLOW directory. This fix will work automatically every time the scheme is saved.
Edit the existing file PDLSAVE.TXT so it looks like the following:
”Assemble Scheme” 0 0 0x20c 0 “pdlsave $(PDL) $(PDLS) $(SCHEME)” 0
Create a new file called PDLSAVE.BAT, that looks like the following:
@echo off
if not exist schemes\%1.m goto exit
del schemes\%1.cm
ren schemes\%1.dm %1.cm
ren schemes\%1.m %1.dm
pdlmasm -ischemes schemes\%1.src
:exit
NOTE: The m2 instrument cannot be used with this “fix”.
