Connecting to a Computer
The Flow Pulse Handheld can be connected to a Windows, Linux or
Mac OS based PC via a standard mini-USB cable for accessing the internal
storage. This is similar to connecting a USB drive, and therefore no
additional software installation is required.
Upon connection, a ‘Pulsar 4GB’ drive will appear as a USB drive on the
PC. The user may transfer any saved data file directly to the PC.
The Flow Pulse-PC software, which is available for download, can be used
to replay the transferred data files or to convert the files to Excel format.
Technical support is provided for Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10 OS system.
While connected to the computer, all other functions that require access to
the internal storage, such as data logging and log file replay, will be
disabled.
The controller is not rechargeable via USB.
System Settings
The “Norm Bright” setting determines the screen brightness when the
controller’s keypad is being used, ranging from 1 to 10 with 10 being the
brightest.
The “Dim Bright” setting determines the screen brightness when the Flow
Pulse Handheld’s keypad is not being used after the period of time set
by the “Auto Dim” parameter (see below). This feature helps reduce power
consumption.
The “Auto Dim” is the amount of time since the last key press, in seconds,
after which the screen will switch to the “Dim Bright” level. Setting Auto
Dim to 0 will deactivate the screen dimming mechanism.
The “Time” should be set using HHMM format only, where HH must be in
24-hour format.
