Overview
The Flo-Check
®
USB Hydraulic System Analyzer can be used as a stationary or portable tester for both industrial
and mobile hydraulic system diagnostics, and analysis of the prognostic health of a hydraulic system. It features
fl
ow,
pressure, and temperature sensors that are monitored by a data acquisition module. This module records the operating
parameters of the system and transfers them to the user’s laptop via the USB port.
The custom software utility is a Windows
®
-based application which is compatible with Windows Vista
®
, Windows XP
and Windows 2000. This intuitive software con
fi
gures the displayed information into user-selected engineering units
and provides real-time graphics with instantaneous readings and trends for all three measurement parameters. The
software also permits the data to be saved for export into a spreadsheet program.
The Hydraulic System Analyzer is powered through the USB port of a PC making it easy to setup and ideal for portable
applications. Interfaced to the PC application, the Hydraulic Analyzer offers a straightforward method of monitoring
system parameters complete with data acquisition.
