1-2 Features and Capabilities
The TransPort has the ability to store site data for up to 20 sites
into files which can be accessed at a later time. A menu-driven
user program asks you all the necessary setup questions for a
particular site. Once you complete answering the necessary
questions, you simply save the information into a file.
The TransPort stores these files and other data in non-volatile
memory, which retains the information even if power is off. The
flowmeter itself runs on a rechargeable battery (for 8 to 10 hours)
or line power.
This small lightweight flowmeter displays measurements in both
numeric and graphical form on a 64 × 128 pixel screen. The
TransPort also has the capability of logging over 40,000 flow
data points internally.
Using the RS232 communications port, the TransPort can
transmit or print logged data, as well as real time data and other
stored data. Units with software version 3C or higher are also
computer-programmable via GE Panametrics’ Instrument Data
Manager (IDM) software.
To assist you, the TransPort is fully equipped with on-line help
which is accessible at any time by simply pressing the Help key.
The TransPort also has internal diagnostic and troubleshooting
features to help isolate and remedy common flowcell and
transducer problems.
The TransPort operates with all standard GE Panametrics
transducers - wetted, clamp-on, hybrids (Pan-Adapta® plug), and
buffered styles, as well as with all standard GE Panametrics
flowcells: axial path, zigzag, tilted diameter, and midradius.
The TransPort also has built-in ultrasonic thickness gage
capability to determine the pipe wall thickness when used with
the optional thickness transducer.
