Communication and Activation 4-17
Activating and Confirming the
Monitor
After installing the monitor, activate and confirm the monitor to
initiate the data collection process. Activation involves using the
FieldScan software to download the BASIC code, configuration
information, and other parameters to the monitor. The monitor
requires these files and information to properly measure the flow.
Activating the monitor also tests communication between the user's
computer and the monitor. To test communication, connect to the
monitor on site (using the DMI cable) or have an analyst call the
monitor from any telephone or computer at a remote location while
a technician is on site to verify that the monitor modem responds.
This also will verify the monitor telephone number entered in
FieldScan.
Confirming the monitor involves comparing manual flow depth and
velocity measurements taken in the field against monitor readings
taken electronically to verify the accuracy of the data. The
technician or analyst confirms the accuracy of the data based on the
difference between the monitor and field readings.
Refer to the FieldScan User's Guide for detailed instructions on
installing the software, collecting monitor data, and configuring,
activating, and confirming the monitor.
