Level Diagnostics
After downloading the diagnostics from the module, Flowlink
displays the information in the Report window. This information
can be useful when evaluating the sensor’s performance, or when
troubleshooting a problem with the assistance of Teledyne Isco’s
Technical Service Department. A brief outline on how to read a
level diagnostics report appears below.
The first section identifies when the report was created and the
type of report.
The second section provides information about the attached level
sensor.
The third section lists the ten most recent measurements. Recent
measurement data is listed in columns:
• Date and Time - the instrument’s date and time that
the measurement was taken.
• Level - The value of the measurement. The unit of
measure is shown enclosed in parentheses.
• Calibration and Offset - These values are associated
with an analog to digital conversion process. Erratic or
widely drifting numbers, when coupled with other
measurement problems may indicate a need to consult
with Teledyne Isco’s Technical Service Department.
“(None)” simply indicates that there are no units of
measure associated with the Calibration and Offset
values.
The fourth section lists Possible Measurement Problems in
columns. These columns can be read just as the Recent
Measurements except that an additional column identifies the
type of measurement problem.
