ADS Environmental Services Portable FlowShark Pulse QR 775006 A2 - Manual (Page 138)

Parameter Settings 6-39
Damping, Example 2: Damping 30 seconds, jump from 80 l/s to 100 l/s (=20 %) –
unit requires 6 seconds to run from 80 l/s to 100 l/s.
Stability
Enter the amount of time to allow the readings to stabilize when measurement
dropouts occur due to conditions such as hydraulic interference.
The damping and stability parameters are not applicable when the
unit is in active memory mode. Due to the short period of
measurement that occurs in this mode, the unit will use the default
damping and stability periods of zero (0) seconds.
Maximum Measurement Time
The Portable FlowShark Pulse automatically controls the amount of time required for
taking measurements based on several parameters. Use this parameter to modify this
time period, when necessary (e.g., when the unit requires additional time to obtain a
reliable measurement). However, do not adjust this parameter without requesting
prior assistance from ADS.
PAR: Storage Mode
The Portable FlowShark Pulse enables you to save flow velocity, depth, temperature,
and flow rate data and input and output signal readings on a compact flash memory
card. When necessary, compact flash cards are available through your ADS
representative with capacities ranging from 8 to 128 MB.
Use memory cards purchased only from ADS. Other
manufacturer’s cards may lead to irreversible loss of data,
measurement failure, or permanent transmitter reset.
ADS is not responsible or liable for data lost when using a third-
party memory card.
An icon in the RUN menu indicates when the memory mode is enabled.
The Portable FlowShark Pulse enters an energy-saving stand-by mode following four
minutes of keypad inactivity. The unit will operate only during the designated
interval. The unit display is disabled (i.e., remains blank) when the unit is in memory
mode.
