Typical FlowShark IS flow monitoring system installation
Communication between the monitor and the user’s office or field
computer can occur over TCP/IP (remote, wireless communication),
or a direct connection cable (on-site communication).
Special software called Profile
® enables 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 code and variables for the site. The LIF contains
information such as pipe characteristics, monitor identification,
selected devices, 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.
