CONFIGURING THE DCT SERIES
FLOWMETER WITH
TimeGATE
After the DCT series flowmeter has been installed, it is ready to be configured and placed
in operation. The flowmeter can be configured with an IBM-compatible PC and
TimeGATE
™,
a Windows95
®
-based configuration and graphical signal analysis utility. The
configuration settings are stored in the flowmeter’s non-volatile memory to protect them in
the event of power failure. Once the flowmeter has been configured, the transducers can be
spaced and installed on the pipe (Chapter 4). Flow can be monitored on a PC, on the
flowmeter’s display (if provided), or through a remote device connected to the current loop
output.
IMPORTANT:
In order to access all of the features described here,
TimeGATE
must be
version 3.0 or higher and the DCT series flowmeter must have hardware
version 3.0 or higher. If connected to flowmeters with hardware versions
earlier than 3.0,
TimeGATE
version 1.0 must be used, which only
supports the graphic analysis function (Section F.5) and not the
configuration function. For these earlier hardware versions, configuration
and other functions must be performed directly on the instrument’s keypad.
