FluxRevision
FluxRevision is the software that allows to quickly elaborate a large number of
files created by FluxManager. Note: FluxRevision runs on Microsoft Windows
operating systems; the Microsoft .NET framework is required on the machine.
To download the files from the Android device to the PC, follow the instructions
reported on chapter 2.
Once you have the files in the PC, start the FluxRevision application. In the first
instance you'll be asked to select the folder that contains the FluxManager files.
The selected folder will be proposed the next time you start the software. Select
the folder and press OK. If there are valid files, the application will start to parse
the data.
To estimate the flux from the slope of the regression line, the application will
need to know the following parameters (see chapter 4 for details):
-
Air temperature
-
Barometric pressure
-
Volume of the accumulation chamber
If the barometric pressure is missing (because you don't have a pressure probe
inside the fluxmeter and you didn't manually inserted the value in the
FluxManager saving window), but the Android device is equipped with a GPS
antenna, FluxRevision can estimate the pressure from the elevation (of course
this calculation can't be as accurate as having a sensor).
