Abstract:
1. A system to configure a field device of the type used to calculate a flow of a process fluid, the system comprising: a flow repository comprising: and associated primary element equation data which provides information related to primary element equations for calculating primary element parameters; and a flow application adapted to retrieve data from the flow repository and to receive user data including user-selectable options related to the retrieved data, the user-selectable options including at least one option to select a particular primary element and a particular process fluid, the flow application responsive to the user data to configure the field device through an interface based upon a selected fluid and corresponding fluid equation data and a selected primary element and corresponding primary element equation data; wherein the flow application further comprises a graphical user interface (GUI) generator to generate a GUI including the user selectable options accessible by a user to configure the field device through the interface, the user selectable options related to the list of primary elements and list of the process fluids, from the flow repository.
