Sierra’s Smart Interface Software
Sierra’s Smart Interface software is a menu-driven program used to
configure and validate Sierra’s Smart Mass Flow Meters. In the in-
strument shop or in the field, you can easily set up and test Smart
flow meters. Communication is simple using a PC compatible com-
puter with the supplied RS-232 interface cable and software.
The Smart electronics device located inside the flow meter enclosure
integrates many convenient flow measurement functions. The pro-
grammable transmitter is adjustable using the Smart Interface soft-
ware or via three push buttons built into the printed circuit board.
Ten options are available for adjustment of flow monitoring pa-
rameters. To read parameters, you may use the software or the op-
tional 2 x 12 character LCD display. The Smart Interface software
Pause feature allows you to quickly disconnect from one meter and
move to the next meter without exiting the program or interrupting
power.
Overall, the easy-to-use Smart Interface software offers fast and
convenient flow meter set up along with full instrument validation
capabilities.
