Calculating the size of a Sample Event Partition - Multiply the<br />
number of samples by four to calculate the partition size in bytes.<br />
Note: A sample event partition does not use reading intervals<br />
and time spans. It simply stores sample events as they happen.<br />
When you set up a sample event partition, set the “number of<br />
samples” to the maximum number of expected samples. When<br />
the instrument creates the partition, the number of samples is<br />
rounded up to fill a complete block of memory. Each block of<br />
memory holds 32 sample events.<br />

Flow Conversion<br />
Methods<br />
Use the Flow Conversion tab of the Site window to set up how an<br />
<strong>Isco</strong> instrument will convert level and velocity readings to flow<br />
rates.<br />
To set the flow conversion method:<br />
1. Choose a flow conversion method radio button.<br />
2. Enter the maximum level.<br />
The instrument uses the flow conversion method and the<br />
maximum level to build a conversion table. This<br />
maximum level should be somewhat above the highest<br />
expected liquid level in the channel at the measurement<br />
point.<br />
3. Define its attributes (type, size, etc.).<br />
4. Click the Apply button.<br />
You can also set the flow conversion method by recalling<br />
previously entered settings.<br />
1. Press the Select Flow Conversion… button to open the<br />
Flow Conversion List.<br />
2. Choose a flow conversion from the list and select OK. If<br />
the list does not show the desired flow conversion<br />
method, create a new one by clicking Add.<br />
3. Enter the maximum level.<br />
4. Apply the changes.<br />
<strong>Isco</strong> flow meters, flow loggers, and flow modules can use a<br />
number of methods to convert measured readings to a flow rate.<br />
The method you select will depend on the type of instrument and<br />
installation site. Refer to the instruction manual for your<br />
instrument for more details about the possible flow conversion<br />
methods and installation options.<br />
<strong>Flowlink</strong> supports the following flow conversion methods:<br />
• Weir<br />
• Flume<br />
• Flow Metering Inserts<br />
• Manning formula<br />
• Area Velocity<br />
• Equation<br />
