1.5 Terminology

The following terms are used in this manual:

• Series 3000 – refers to all Model 3300, 3350, 3500, or 3700 devices.

• MVD – Multi Variable Digital, Micro Motion’s advanced method of analyzing and reporting

process variables.

• Application – a specific use of the flowmeter technology, and the specialized software or

hardware required for implementation. Sample applications include enhanced density,
batching, and custody transfer.

• Platform – refers to any component that can run an application. The component may be a

transmitter or a controller (see below).

• Sensor – provides measurement functions.

• Core processor – refers to the component which provides memory and preprocessing

functions on process variable data received from the sensor. There are two versions: the
standard core processor and the enhanced core processor. To check your core processor type,
use the Applications List (see Section 17.5.9).

• Transmitter – refers to the component that accepts process variable data from the core

processor, performs additional processing, and transmits the processed data to a remote device.
In this manual, the Model 3500 and Model 3700 devices are transmitters.

• Controller – refers to the Model 3300 and Model 3350 devices. Controllers receive processed

data from a transmitter such as an IFT9701, use these data in an application that is installed on
the device, and send the results to a remote device. Controllers are not connected to a sensor or
core processor.
