Displaying Gas Flow Rate - HP 5890 Series II Plus Reference Manual

Electronic Flow Sensing
Two channels of electronic flow rate sensing continuously monitor gas
flow rates (usually carrier) in the HP 5890 SERIES II. Proper scaling of
displayed values for different commonly used gases is defined through
keyboard entries. The two flow channels are distinguished through
and
If carrier gas flows are monitored, A implies flow through column A
(nearest the instrument front); B implies flow through column B (nearest
the instrument rear).
Displayed flow rate values are in ml/minute.
