6-1C H A P T E R 6Accuflow Windows InterfaceThis Chapter describes the alternative method of setting-up and operating the flowmeter using theWindows interface.Note: The instrument will not be damaged by entering incorrect parameters.Application OverviewThe Accusonic 8510/7510 Flow meter Windows application provides a user friendly interface to theflowmeter. From the application, the user can enter and examine flowmeter parameters, control theflowmeter measurement cycle, graph real time or historical data, and conduct diagnostic tests.The menu system provides the user the ability to setup system and flowmeter parameters, control theflowmeter measurement mode, display graphical data, and use flowmeter diagnostics.Accuflow version 6 supports both the 7510 series of flowmeters and the new Accusonic Model 8510 seriesof flowmeters. Version 6 is fully 32 and 64 bit operating system compatible.Accuflow version 6 is backward compatible in certain areas: Configuration files are saved in the same text format as the older versions of Accuflow makingparameter translation between each of the flowmeter models, 7510, 7510+, 8510, and 8510+ moreflexible. Accuflow will still read the interim binary format files (*.acd) and automatically save them in thecurrent (*.cfg) format. Data files collected by older versions can still be processed in graphical and text formats. Waveform files saved from scope mode in earlier versions can be processed. This feature is notrequired for the 8510 or the 8510+ which show waveforms on the front panel touch-screen display.Connecting a PC to Use AccuFlowA PC may be connected to the 9 pin “RS-232” socket or the RJ45 “Ethernet” socket, for use with specialAccusonic PC based programs. The “RS-232” connection requires a “Null-Modem” connection and the“Ethernet” connection requires a “Cross-Over” LAN cable or a standard LAN cable if connection via aswitch or router. Either the cable or adapter can be purchased at a PC supply or electronics store. Thephysical connection should be made prior to launching the Accuflow program. See the Connect Command(Operate Menu) section to establish communications between Accuflow and the flowmeter. |
