NTRODUCTION
This manual will explain the operation of the software tool FlowTune. It has been written based on FlowTune V1.23,
but should be suited for former (and future) versions as well, although functionality may differ from what is described.

instruments to be operated in an environment with pressure conditions
of 10 bar (a) or less and temperatures between 0 °C and 70 °C. It is not advised to use the software to configure
instruments which will be used in an environment exceeding these conditions.
