Meter Operation
This section provides information about using and configuring the meter.
11.1
MeterWare Software Information
The Dresser MeterWare software can be installed on your computer to configure the meter, download its
logged data, and update the meter’s firmware. An infrared cable using the IrDA protocol enables
the
MeterWare software to communicate with the meter (refer to Appendix A).
After the MeterWare software connects to the meter, a Live Data screen displays current operating
conditions. The Volume Configuration screen provides the ability to adjust volume information, such as
odometer readings and pulse output configurations. Faults and alarms are configurable,
and the meter’s
LCD screens are selectable.
For more information about the installation and operation of the MeterWare software, refer to the
Dresser MeterWare Software Manual

Volume Detection
Volume from the 10C25 meter is detected with a volume input board. This volume input board uses the
same Wiegand sensor technology used in other Dresser instruments.
There are five (5) volume accumulation methods, which are based on the capability to read either the
forward or the reverse flow directions, as shown in Table 6.
