Dynasonics MFX Series Insertion MagProbe Flow Meter - Manual (Page 53)

Rev. 01/11
-4.1- MFX
PART 4 - SOFTWARE UTILITIES
The MFX flow meter is supported by a troubleshooting software
utility called ULTRALINK™. While ULTRALINK™ was developed to
be utilized with Dynasonics Series TFX ultrasonic flow meters, the
utility does have features that can assist MFX users in
troubleshooting, configuration and calibration of the insertion
magnetic flow meter system.
A PC running ULTRALINK™ can be hardwired to an MFX flow
meter through an RS232 or RS485 module or, more commonly, the
communications link is through an infrared communicator. The
infrared communicator is available from Dynasonics as part
number D005-2115-001. If the infrared communicator is to interface
with a USB port on a PC, a USB-to-DB-9 interface adapter is required
(Dynasonics part number D005-2116-004).
