INFORMATION!
There are two different methods to obtain data from a flowmeter.
• Request information on a specific data item: if it is a parameter the current value will be
reported, this is a static value. If it is a variable, the value will be reported and updated every 2
seconds.
• Define a selection of data that the flowmeter will send as a package and update at specific
rate. This way the data collecting process is customized to collect only those variables or data
elements that one really needs or wants to be monitored and / or logged (as the meter
produces a large amount of data it will not be possible to collect and update all the variables
in a short time interval).
The option
“
Configure
”
is available to customize the selection of data to be sent from the
flowmeter at a specific update rate. This option is used to define the set of data that will be
collected from the flowmeter: this set of data will be available to be displayed simultaneously.
The specification of such a set of data is stored in a monitoring configuration file, a file with an
extension
“
.mon
”
. A default monitoring configuration file can be found in the software
installation package. Once a monitoring configuration is loaded, the monitoring process can be
started and stopped.
