and data acquisition) or other process control system through an
RTU (remote terminal unit) or another comparable instrument. The
XIO also serves as an analog and digital I/O (input/output) interface
that can support non-ADS sensors, switches, and various third-party
equipment.
The ADS Qstart

software applications enable the user to configure
and communicate with the monitor for activation, data collection,
and diagnostic purposes. Configuration involves defining the
Location Information File (LIF) for storage in the user's local
directory and building the necessary code and variables for the site.
The LIF contains information such as pipe characteristics, monitor
identification, active sensors, sensor offsets, data log rate, and other
parameters necessary for measuring the flow both accurately and
efficiently.
Activation involves downloading the site-specific information from
the LIF (stored in the user's local directory or network drive) to the
monitor. It also includes initiating monitor activities such as taking
sensor readings, logging flow data, and managing event notification.
Note: Refer to the Qstart online help for more
