Signal quality and signal strength are indicators of how well suited an 
application is for a Doppler flowmeter. To determine the quality of your 
application, go to the Flow screen. Note the 

%SS

 and 

SQ

 numbers in the 

bottom right corner. Refer to the following figure to determine the quality 
of the application. Also refer to Table 6–1 for actions you can take to 
attempt to improve signal quality and strength.
