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