3.3 Theory of Operation
2-Channel
Dual Channel provides two independent measurement channels that operate simultaneously.
Depending on the specific model, Dual Channel supports: Clamp-on Transit-time, In-line
Transit-time and Reflexor.

2-Path
2-Path flowmeters use two measurement channels to achieve a single output via a "virtual"
third channel. The resultant data is the average of the two channels. Only clamp-on or in-line
transit-time operation is allowed. Benefits include highest available precision and enhanced
immunity to distorted flow profile conditions.
