With FlowInspector open and the DC3 cable connected, click on File, and Setup DataLogger…
(or if you are using a logging meter, click on Set Up Meter...)
...to open up the Initialization screen.
Start Date / Start Time
The date/time that the Logger was initialized is based on the real time clock of the computer used, formatted accord-
ing to its regional date/time conventions (e.g., month/day/year vs. day/month/year and 12-hour vs. 24-hour clock).
Date and time cannot be changed manually, but will be automatically updated when you “save settings” at the end of
the set-up procedure.
K-factor, or Meter output
K-factor (applies to standalone DataLoggers only): The K-Factor is the number of pulses per gallon produced by the
Seametrics meter your DataLogger is reading from. Find the K-Factor number in one of three places (depending on
meter type): on the meter fitting, in the meter instruction manual, or in the K-Factor calculator on the Seametrics web-
site (www.seametrics.com). enter this number into the Initialize DataLogger screen. (Note: Use the technical bulletin
“Field Calibration of Seametrics Meters” on our website Downloads page if you wish to field-calculate your own K-fac-
tor. If you use this method, be sure to set the K-Factor in pulses-per-gallon, since this is standard for all meters. You
will still be able to select other units for viewing and analyzing the data if you wish.)
Meter output (applies to Logging Meters only): Meter output of Logging Meters is factory pre-set in customer-se-
lected units (e.g., gallons-per-pulse, liters-per-pulse) and displayed here. Meter Output units can only be changed by an
authorized individual.
