Technical data

Note
Chords C and D are available for 4-Path Liquid meters.
2. Daniel MeterLink starts to continuously stream waveforms from the meter.
3.
Click Save while streaming waveforms or click Stop
Daniel MeterLink opens a Save As dialog box to allow you to choose a name for the
Waveform file. A default name based on the Meter Name, the type of waveform
collected, and PC date and time is suggested. Change the name or default location if
desired. Click Save to accept the file name and save the last set of waveforms
collected.
4. Click Open and select the Waveform filename from the Open dialog box to view a
previously saved waveform.
5. Click Tracking to display the transducer’s raw, filtered or stacked signal Tracking
Parameters dialog for the selected chord.
This dialog displays the parameter’s label, value and units. Some of the Tracking
parameters included are Gain, Hold time, Time (stamp), Maximum Signal Quality,
Peak width, Peak Position, and Peak Zero Crossing for upstream and downstream
signals. These parameters are used in the diagnostics of field conditions.
6. Click Export to save the waveforms displayed to Microsoft Excel
®
format.
The Microsoft Excel
®
file contains three worksheets. The first worksheet called
Charts contains charts for each of the waveforms collected. The second worksheet
called Raw Data contains the waveform data to make the charts. The third
worksheet called Tracking contains the tracking parameters for the chord.
7. Click Close to exit the Waveform Viewer.
8. Use Diagnostic Collection set of controls feature to capture a waveform snapshot to
be played back on a simulator. This U.S. Patented feature is useful to allow Daniel to
reproduce any field specific conditions.
a. Click the Stream to file checkbox and wait for the waveforms to start streaming to
the screen. The meter is returning raw waveforms just as they are received
without any stacking or filtering.
b. Click Record to start saving all of the raw waveforms to file. The collection of
waveforms can be paused and resumed without having to start a new file.
Clicking Stop gives you the option to save the data collected to file. The file will
have a .strm extension. There is no utility in Daniel MeterLink to playback these
files. The files are only for use internally by Daniel on special diagnostic tools.
Clearing the Stream to file checkbox stops the streaming mode and returns the
Waveform Viewer back to its normal mode of operation.
