Flowlink 5.1 Software Instruction Manual - Isco

Isco Flowlink 5.1 ® Software
Site Window - Pulse Doppler
Sleep - puts the instrument to sleep; it will not wake up or take a
reading at the specified sample time. It will only begin operation
again when awakened with the Connect button.
Adjust Level - lets you edit the current measured value for
Level 1 (primary) and/or Level 2 (secondary sensor, if attached).
Offset values are automatically adjusted.
Advanced Commands - used to override one or more
programmed parameters. Contact Teledyne Isco before using.
Flow Rate - Pulse
Doppler
Data - Pulse Doppler
Use the Flow Rate tab to specify the appropriate channel
geometry and dimensions. The instrument and its functions
determine which settings are available.
From this tab you may:
• Select the channel type
• Enter channel dimensions
• Enter sensor mounting information
If you have made any changes, click Apply to update the settings
in the instrument.
View and manage data storage for Pulse Doppler series
instruments from the Data tab of the Site window:
Data Storage or Sample Interval - shows the data storage
interval, selectable in minutes, the number of individual
measurements (samples) per reading, and the estimated velocity
precision as a percentage of maximum expected velocity.
Secondary Rate (accQmin only) - allows you to increase the
measurement interval during higher flow conditions. To program
this secondary interval, select the Enable Burst Sampling check
box.
Data Format (all except H-ADFM) - For more manageable file
size, Reduced format is recommended.
Standard format is selected for recording additional raw data
such as Velocity, Amplitude, Percent Good, and Correlation, with
a selectable interval (Full Data Interval).
All data may be stored on the instrument’s internal recorder in
slate or wrap mode, as well as output via serial port.
Velocity Model (H-ADFM only) - The Velocity Model type is
referred to as the Linear Regression model. This model
calculates the average velocity V at time t. A, B, and C are sitespecific
regression coefficients. These will have been determined
by the installer using independent calibration data when the
H-ADFM was installed and configured. V i is the index velocity,
computed as an average of the velocity bins specified in the index
range. (See your H-ADFM user manual for more information
about configuring the instrument.)
