Using the Quick Start Menu
If you want to perform a ‘one-off’ flow reading at a particular pipe location the Quick Start menu provides the
quickest way to set up the Portaflow system and access the FLOW READING screen.
If the point at which you intend to take the measurement is likely to require regular monitoring it is best to set it up
as a ‘Site’ within the Portaflow PT400, which then stores the site parameters (See Managing Named Sites).
