3.1 Overview
Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters offer many industry-leading features
including Chapter 21-compliant data log access, gas chromatograph (GC) interface,
AGA10 sound velocity calculation (with comparison to measured sound velocity) and
Continuous Flow Analysis diagnostics.
Daniel recognizes that these features are valuable to many, but not all customers. The
optional keys may be purchased with the meter or at a later time and this key enables all
optional features available. All keys are unique to the CPU board's serial number, so a key
entered for one meter will not work in another meter.
The Continuous Flow Analysis optional feature is enabled via a software "key" value that is
specific to the meter's CPU Board. This software feature key consists of 16 characters
divided into four hyphen-separated, 4-character groups (such as 1234-5678-90AB-CDEF).
This dialog is only available while connected to a meter with firmware that contains option
keys to enable.
In Daniel MeterLink, access the Key Manager to view key statuses, add keys or change the
key values.
3.1.1
Obtaining optional keys
If you do not have a valid key to enter to enable a feature, you must have the CPU board
serial number available, which displays in the Meter|Key Manager dialog and the Meter
Menu|Meter Information dialog, when you contact Daniel to obtain the key. The keys can
be given verbally over the phone or they can be e-mailed in a Key file for easy entry.

3.1.2
GC interface key
The optional GC interface feature allows the meter to read gas property data (composition
and heating value) from a Daniel gas chromatograph. The meter can use the gas
composition data to:
1. Calculate AGA8 compressibilities for converting volumetric flow rate and volumes to
standard (base) condition
