Site Window - Pulse Doppler<br />
• Baud Rate - (Direct) Select the baud rate of 38400 from<br />
the pull-down menu.<br />
• Modem - Select an installed modem from the pull-down<br />
list. <strong>Flowlink</strong> will only list those modems installed in<br />
Windows. <strong>Flowlink</strong> will use the selected Modem and its<br />
Windows settings (COM port, baud, etc.) to make the<br />
connection. If you need to change the modem settings,<br />
open the Modem Control Panel (Windows<br />
Start>Settings>Control Panel). A baud rate of 38400 is<br />
recommended for ADFM instruments.<br />
• Select Default from the list to use the modem<br />
specified in Utilities>Options for the appropriate<br />
device type. This automatically selects the modem<br />
used for a specific site, from any computer.<br />
• Phone number - (Modem) Enter the phone number<br />
assigned to the instrument. This number can include the<br />
following commands:<br />
T (tone dial)<br />
, (comma - pause)<br />
@ (wait for silence)<br />
W (wait for dial tone)<br />

Measurements -<br />
Pulse Doppler<br />
When connected, <strong>Flowlink</strong> continually polls the site for “realtime”<br />
readings. This tab of the Site window displays the realtime<br />
readings, as well as test data, in the Output window.<br />
Program and Restart - writes your selected program settings<br />
to the instrument and starts the program.<br />
Erase Recorder - deletes all saved data from the internal<br />
recorder.<br />
Bench Test - The Bench Test function is for diagnostic purposes<br />
and is not required for routine operation. If for any reason the<br />
Bench Test is performed, regardless of the time interval between<br />
tests, first retrieve and save all recorded data before it is<br />
performed again. Prior to redeployment, select "Erase Recorder"<br />
and then "Restart."<br />
Field Test - This system performance evaluation is for use at the<br />
monitoring site with the sensor installed and in the stream.<br />
Quick Data - refreshes the Output window with the current<br />
data readings, and creates a graphical display to verify beam<br />
configuration, ensuring proper performance of the flow meter.<br />
Restart - restarts the instrument using the programmed<br />
parameters currently stored in its memory.<br />
