year;
iv) record, store, process, sequence, present and output calendar dates and data related
to dates falling on or after 1 January 2000, in the same manner and with the same
functionality as they do on or before 31 December 1999 and without errors or
omissions; and
v) lose no functionality with respect to the introduction into them of dates or data
related to dates falling on or after 1 January 2000;
provided that, in the case of any non-conforming Deliverables that are returned to the Company

INTRODUCTION
The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM
MICROCOMPUTER is an advanced state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based
computer used to control and measure the numerous physical and dynamic
characteristics of fluids, such as liquids and gases. Compatible with most process
flowmeters and transmitters, the MODEL 2500 is a state-of-the-art instrument with
both a large input/output capacity and a powerful processor possessing the
programmable capabilities necessary for the hundreds of applications required for
a demanding environment.
The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 software can be configured to:
- Perform a broad range of flow measurement and process applications
without compromising the exact needs of the application and without
the expense of a custom instrument.
- Monitor and read live transmitter inputs, both analog and digital.
- Produce multiple calculated outputs.
- Act as a controller for meter prover applications.
- Serve as a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) furnishing calculated data on
demand to a "Host" computer or a Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) system.

The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM
MICROCOMPUTER consists of the following:
- MODEL 2500 computer
- BASE25 operating system (resident in the EPROM of the MODEL
2500 microcomputer)
- Specialized application software that provides for customized
configuration of the microcomputer for specific tasks

MODEL 2500 HARDWARE
The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM
MICROCOMPUTER hardware comes in either a one-board system or a two-board
system. Both systems function identically with the same baseline and software.
The number of inputs and outputs required by the user will dictate whether a one-
or a two-board system is needed.
Refer to Figures 1-1 and 1-2 for a graphic depiction of the differences between the
two systems. For more detailed specifications, refer to the MODEL 2500
Microcomputer Hardware Manual, Daniel P/N 3-9000-590.

MODELMODEL 25002500 SOFTWARESOFTWARE
The DANIEL INDUSTRIES MODEL 2500 specialized application software is
developed in conjunction with the CONFIG25 program. The CONFIG25 program
is designed to run on an IBM PC or compatible personal computer.
This manual provides the basic operational information to download and operate
software in the MODEL 2500, which contains a Revision 5.00 level or higher. The
new generation of BASE25 allows the user to download any Revision K.2 or
higher applications without requiring a new analysis of an application under a
different Config25.
Prior to Revision 5.00 baseline, applications had to be developed, analyzed, and run
on software that was of the same revision level. Revision 5.00 and higher
firmware (hereafter referred to as 5.nn), is designed to support applications
developed on multiple Daniel CONFIG25 software releases.
The following table lists the CONFIG25 software releases that are supported and
the baseline used for execution. The following compatibility rules are imposed by
the download routine.
