occurs. Too often this means connecting a laptop and gathering information AFTER the first signs of
the problem, which is obviously not ideal.
The advanced Pulsar Model R86 design is very effective at addressing this issue. This advanced design
allows the transmitter to automatically capture an Echo Curve based on an Event (such as Loss of
Echo) or Time (using the on-board clock).
It is shipped from the factory so an echo curve is automatically captured based on key Events. The
transmitter has the ability to store a number of echo curves in its on-board memory. These echo curves
can then be downloaded to a laptop running software such as PACTware and reviewed in
Diagnostics/Echo History tab. If necessary, the user can email this information to the factory for
expert assistance in troubleshooting. This enables the problem to be resolved much more quickly, min-
imizing possible down time.
An example of this is shown below.
A number of points should be made in this example:
• Curve 1 is showing the current Live echo
• Curve 2 is showing “History 9”- the 9th echo stored in memory which was automatically captured at
2:45P on 12/31/2016
•
This echo capture was triggered by the “Inferred Level” diagnostic
