memory divided into 1840 blocks; 4200 Series Flow Meters have<br />

81,792 bytes of memory divided into 639 blocks. Each block<br />

contains 128 bytes. When a partition is created, it is divided into<br />

whole-block units. That is, a partition could use one or two<br />

blocks, but never 1.5 blocks.<br />

The reading type will determine how many readings can be<br />

stored in a block of memory. Refer to the chart below. As you can<br />

see, some reading types require more bytes to store a single<br />

reading.<br />

Reading type<br />

Readings/Block<br />

Rainfall 124<br />

PH 124<br />

Dissolved Oxygen 124<br />

Level 62<br />

Velocity 62<br />

Temperature 62<br />

Conductivity* 62<br />

4-20 percent 62<br />

Flow Rates 31<br />

* Conductivity includes reading types reported as specific<br />

conductance, salinity, total dissolved solids, and conductivity.<br />

Calculating the partition size - apply the Time Span in Days,<br />

Time Span in Hours, Reading Interval in minutes, and Readings/<br />

block to the equation below.<br />

Where:<br />

D = Time Span Days<br />

H = Time Span Hours<br />

R = Reading Interval in minutes<br />

B = Readings/block<br />

P = Partition Size<br />

The following example applies typical partition settings to the<br />

equation.<br />

Example: A level partition stores readings at 5 minute intervals<br />

over a time span of 9 days, 1 hour.<br />

Therefore, this partition uses 5376 bytes.<br />
