Vol. Correction Sig. Str. Limit 

is a feature used to provide 

volumetric compensation for gas bubbles that can be 
present in liquid systems.  The TFXL measures the velocity 
of the liquid in the pipe and converts that velocity to volume 
by multiplying the velocity by the cross-sectional area of the 
pipe.  If there are gas bubbles within the liquid, the gas is 
displacing some of the liquid and errors can occur.  When 
Vol. Correction Sig. Str. Limit is set to zero, the 
compensation function is not operational.  To use the 
feature, enter the maximum Signal Strength observed on 
the flow meter after installation.  The maximum signal 
strength should occur with the pipe completely full of liquid 
and the flow stopped.  Signal Strength can be observed on 
the UltraLink Data Screen.  See 

Figure 12

Entry of data in the 

Basic

 and 

Flow 

tabs are all that is 

required to provide flow measurement functions to the flow 
meter.  If the user is not going to utilize input/output 
functions, click on the 

Download

 button to transfer the 

configuration to the TFXL instrument. 

7. ADVANCED

 TAB—See 

Figure 15 

The Advanced TAB contains several filter settings for the TFXL 
flow meter.  These filters can be adjusted to match response 
times and data “smoothing” performance to a particular 
application.  The factory settings are suitable for most 
installations. 

• 

Time Domain Filter 

adjusts the number of raw data sets 

(the wave forms viewed on the UltraLink Diagnostics 
Screen) that are averaged together.  Increasing this value 
will provide greater damping of the data and slow the 
response time of the flow meter.  This filter is not 
adaptive—it is operational to the value set at all times. 

• 

Low Signal Cutoff 

is a duplicate entry from Page 27.  

Adjusting this value adjusts the value on the Flow TAB. 

• 

Substitute Flow 

is a duplicate entry from Page 27.  

Adjusting this value adjusts the value on the Flow TAB. 

• 

Short Pulse Duration 

is a function used on pipes larger 

than 8 inches [200 mm].  Set this value to zero to disable 
the function.  Do not select the 

Auto Short Pulse 

box.
