Configuration → Totalizers/Inventories
The transmitter provides seven configurable totalizers and seven configurable inventories. Each totalizer and each inventory can be configured independently.
Totalizers track the process since the last totalizer reset. Inventories track the process since the last inventory reset. Inventories are typically used to track the process across totalizer resets.
Tip
The default configurations cover the most typical uses of totalizers and inventories. You may not need to change any configurations.
Prerequisites
Before configuring the totalizers and inventories, ensure that the process variables you plan to track are available on the transmitter.
Procedure
1. Select the totalizer or inventory that you want to configure.
2. Set Totalizer Source or Inventory Source to the process variable that the totalizer or inventory will track.
Option
Mass flow
Description
The totalizer or inventory will track Mass Flow Rate and calculate total mass since the last reset.

Net volume flow
Description
The totalizer or inventory will track Volume Flow Rate and calculate total volume since the last reset.
The totalizer or inventory will track Gas Standard Volume Flow Rate and calculate total volume since the last reset.
The totalizer or inventory will track Temperature-Corrected Volume Flow
Rate and calculate total volume since the last reset.
The totalizer or inventory will track Standard Volume Flow Rate and calculate total volume since the last reset.
The totalizer or inventory will track Net Mass Flow Rate and calculate total mass since the last reset.
The totalizer or inventory will track Net Volume Flow Rate and calculate total volume since the last reset.
Note
The totalizer/inventory value will not automatically be reset when the source is changed. The user must manually reset the totalizer/inventory.
Tip
If you are using the API Referral application and you want to measure batch-weighted average density or batch-weighted average temperature, you must have a totalizer configured to measure temperature-corrected volume flow.
3. Set Totalizer Direction to specify how the totalizer or inventory will respond to forward or reverse flow.

Important
Actual flow direction interacts with Sensor Flow Direction Arrow to determine the flow direction that the transmitter uses in processing. See the following table.

4. Optional: Set User Name to the name you want to use for the inventory or totalizer.
User-Defined Label can have a maximum of 16 characters.
The transmitter automatically generates a name for each totalizer and inventory, based on its source, direction, and type.
Example
• Source =Mass Flow
• Direction =Forward Only
• User-Defined Label = Mass Fwd Total
Example
• Source =Gas Standard Volume Flow
• Direction =Bidirectional
• User-Defined Label = GSV Bidir Inv
The specified name is used on the transmitter display and on all interfaces that support it. If User Name contains only spaces, the transmitter-generated name is used. Not all interfaces support totalizer and inventory names.
Example: Checking for backflow
You suspect that there is a significant amount of backflow through the sensor. To collect data, configure two totalizers as follows:
• Source =Mass Flow, Direction =Forward Only
• Source =Mass Flow, Direction =Reverse Only
Reset both totalizers, allow them to run for an appropriate period, then look at the amount of reverse flow as a percentage of forward flow.
Example: Tracking three different process fluids
Three tanks are connected to a loading dock through a single meter. Each tank contains a different process fluid. You want to track each process fluid separately.
1. Set up three totalizers, one for each tank.
2. Name the totalizers Tank 1 , Tank 2 , and Tank 3 .
