1 Signal from flowmeter
sensor
2 Filtered signal
Detect changes in fluid, e.g., gas bubbles, increased/reduced
amount of solids.
To determine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the electrode AC
voltage - raw signal for the flowmeter sensor is set in relation to
the digitally filtered signal.
SNR =

signalFiltered
The SNR is measured without impairing the flow measurement
in any way. To perform this calculation, it is necessary to switch
on one of the relevant errors or warnings in the submenu
"Diagnostics / Alarm Settings" (see page 82).
7.4.1.8 Determining the magnetic linearity
I
U
R
G00578f
Detect magnetic field interference. This can affect the accuracy
of the measurement.
When measuring magnetic linearity (ML), the coil current I
1
is
measured at current reference voltage U
R1
and coil current I
2
at
approximately half the reference voltage U
R2
.
The operating time at half the reference voltage is approx. 1
sec. During this period, the most recently acquired value is
retained.
To perform this test, it is necessary to switch on one of the
relevant errors or warnings in the submenu "Diagnostics/Alarm
Settings" (see page 82).

7.4.1.9 Determining the maximum DAC value
Driver For detecting changes in the coil circuit.
To compensate the set reference voltage Uref, the level of the
digital/analog converter (DAC) value is manipulated in the
transmitter's driver circuit to vary the coil's excitation signal. The
amplitude of this value then serves as an indicator of the level
of the excitation signal.
The DAC value is measured without affecting the flow
measurement in any way.
To perform this measurement, it is necessary to switch on one
of the relevant errors or warnings in the submenu
"Diagnostics / Alarm Settings" (see page 82).
