Click
Save
to save the configuration file. A default filename is provided based on the
meter name, time, and date the configuration was collected. You can keep the default
name or change it. The file is saved, by default, to the
Data folder
directory defined
under
Program Settings
. You may change the directory location if desired.
9.
Click
to print the configuration currently opened in the editor. Only the registers in
the currently selected view will be printed. You can also click the print icon,
,on the
tool bar to print the opened configuration.
10.
Use
Convert
to download the configuration from a legacy Daniel Ultrasonic meter to
later generation of electronics.
a.
First connect to the legacy electronics. Collect and save the configuration using
the
Edit/Compare Configuration
dialog box. Upgrade the electronics on the
meter.
b.
Connect to the new meter electronics and open the
Edit/Compare Configuration
dialog.
Open
the configuration collected from the legacy electronics. The
Convert
button is enabled.
c.
Click
Convert
to read the configuration from the new meter and modify it with
the data from the legacy configuration. Daniel MeterLink displays this modified
configuration in the dialog. At this point, Daniel MeterLink has not written
anything to the new meter. All the values highlighted in yellow are values from
the legacy configuration.
d.
Click
Write Checked
to write the changed portion of the configuration to the new
meter. If any data point failed to be written, you must correct the invalid value
and click
Write Checked
again until the configuration is written without any
errors. Once the configuration is written, you can choose to compare the
displayed configuration with the configuration in the meter by selecting
Meter
and clicking
Compare
. This will verify everything was written correctly.

View the transducer waveforms
Daniel 3410 Series Ultrasonic Flow Meters includes a feature for streaming transducer
waveforms that can be viewed using the Daniel MeterLink
Tools |Waveform Viewer
screen. The
speed at which the waveforms update is dependent upon the type of connection between the
PC and the meter. With an Ethernet connection and Daniel MeterLink, several updates per
second are possible. With a serial connection, updates may occur only every 15 to 30 seconds.
Up to three types of waveform signals can be displayed per chord:
•
Raw
- the sampled waveform received by the transducer (with gain applied)
•
Stacked
- the result of applying stacking to the raw signal(s). Note that when stacking is
not used (
StackSize
is set to 1), the stacked signal is the same as the raw signal.
•
Filtered
- the result of applying the bandpass filter on the stacked signal. This waveform is
only available when the filter is enabled (via the
Filter
data point).
