:As indicated in the above prompt, the Model GS868 flowmeter can take measurements in two different ways:
•
Skan is a low resolution technique for locating the acoustic signal and for high velocity measurements. It is more
robust in a noisy environment than the Measure technique.
•
Measure
is a more precise technique best used for low velocity measurements.
If Skan is selected at the next prompt, the instrument uses this technique exclusively. However, if S/M is selected, the
meter uses Skan to find the acoustic signal and then tries to use the Measure technique for a more precise
measurement.
Note:
To change the
Skan
and
Measure
parameters, see the
SIGNL submenu
section on page 16.
