The measurement cycle is made of 4 phases:

Start 
Start of the cycle. 
(Reset)* 
Reset of the pressure sensor to correct the eventual drifts, this phase 
can be placed at the start or at the end of a cycle depending on the 
requirement of the operator. Parameter to be set.  
The 
coupling 
time 
Time during which the sealing jig of the parts is put in place before the 
part is filled. The instrument can be fitted with the automatic connector 
option (this option adds a valve). This valve which is piloted throughout 
the cycle time allows a control of the jig setup. 
The fill time 
This is the time during which the part is pressurised until the 
compensation flow is obtained. 
The 
stabilisation 
time 
This is the time during which the flow value stabilises. 
The test time 
The differential pressure sensor measures the pressure difference on 
the extremities of the calibrated flow tube. The signal is treated by the 
electronics which display the result and indicate whether a part is good 
or bad.  
(Reset)* 
Pressure sensor reset to correct eventual drifts. This phase can be 
placed at the start of the cycle or at the end of the cycle depending on 
the requirement of the operator. Parameter to be set.  
End of 
Cycle 
The instrument stops the measurement and sends an end of cycle 
signal.
