Series S36 Instruction Manual 

Chapter 1 Introduction

 

1-5  

    800120

 

strument Interface Software can be purchased to communicate with the 
SonoPro

®

 and provide valuable setup, diagnostic, and data logging tools.  

 
The electronics include nonvolatile memory that stores all configuration 
information. The nonvolatile memory allows the flow meter to function 
immediately upon power up, or after an interruption in power. All flow-

meters are configured for the customer’s flow application.
