Menu Commands<br />

• Perform every ____ days. Enter a value between 1 and<br />

1000. Entering a “0” will disable the database<br />

maintenance.<br />

• Truncate log file at ____ bytes. Enter a value between<br />

10000 and 60000. <strong>Flowlink</strong> will delete the oldest entries<br />

in the log file as the maintenance is performed.<br />

Diagnostics - Advanced <strong>Flowlink</strong> diagnostic displays can be<br />

enabled by checking the “Enable various diagnostic features”<br />

List<br />

Selecting Utilities>Flow Conversion displays the Flow<br />

Conversion List window.<br />

This window lists the flow conversion methods used by the<br />

instruments in the database. Flow conversions are used to<br />

convert level (or level and velocity) measurements into flow rate<br />

data.<br />

Additional flow conversion methods may be added for:<br />

• use as a template to set up a flow measurement<br />

instrument.<br />

• off-line flow conversion.<br />

This window lists the flow rate conversion methods used by the<br />

instruments in the database.<br />

Additional flow conversion methods may be added for:<br />

• use as a “template” to quickly set up an instrument<br />

• off-line flow conversion. Off-line flow conversions can<br />

offer many advantages:<br />

• Use less instrument memory - If the instrument<br />

does not store flow rate data, more partition space is<br />

available for other reading types.<br />

• Shorter data retrieval times - If the instrument<br />

does not store flow rate readings, data retrieval is<br />

typically quicker.<br />

• Better flow rate resolution - An instrument’s flow<br />

rate conversion is limited by its internal flow<br />

conversion table and the number of significant digits<br />

held. Off-line flow conversions have no such limits.<br />

Each line in the window shows the name, type, and whether the<br />

flow conversion is in use by an existing instrument. These are<br />

added to the flow conversion list as you connect to new<br />

instruments.<br />

From this window you may:<br />

• Add a flow conversion<br />

• Edit a flow conversion<br />

• Delete a flow conversion.<br />
