1.2 INTRODUCTION TO THE 1010PVX OPERATING SYSTEM
The System 1010PVX software resides on plug-in ROM chips. Software upgrades are easily imple-
mented by simply replacing these chips either at the factory or in the field. All 1010 models provide a
ready reference to the software version and modification code. Additionally, a check-sum assures that
the software code has retained its original integrity. The operating system consists of real-time data
collection and meter control algorithms and an Installation Menu interface for easy data entry.

1.2.1 INSTALLATION MENU OVERVIEW

For all System 1010 models, site set up is accomplished under the control of an Installation Menu. The
Installation Menu presents all the site setup options consistent with the meter type to be installed. In other
words, the Installation Menu changes to be compatible with the particular meter type selected at the
"top" menu level.
The Installation Menu sequentially presents choices in related groups of information (such as Pipe Data,
Datalogger Setup, etc.). This menu structure makes it easy to locate any category that is relevant to the
application. Most Installation Menu items are pre-set to default values based on a factory template.
Because of these defaults, few steps are required to complete the usual site setup:
Create a site setup
Enter the pipe outer diameter
Enter the pipe wall thickness
Select a transducer type and size
After mounting the transducers on the pipe, complete the Xdcr Install procedure
Save the site setup, if so desired, by providing a unique file name
In addition, the operating system allows the factory template to be customized so as to suit user prefer-
ences. This feature is particularly advantageous for users who may need to routinely re-install the sys-
tem at different locations within a facility. The system includes a comprehensive Diagnostic menu that
provides real-time flow and related data, information on current operating conditions, plus system test
and recovery routines.
Please note that you can review site parameters at any time with little danger of altering the data, since
you would have to perform specific sensor switch sequences to affect a change. The meter allows a site
data dump, either to a printer to obtain hard copy, or to a PC for storage as a data file. Retaining a copy
of the site setup is particularly important for flow calibrated systems.

1.2.2 OVERVIEW OF REAL-TIME DATA COLLECTION

Real-time operation commences after the completion of the site setup procedure. The real-time operat-
ing software's function is to collect the primary measurement data from the transducer system and then
make it available to be converted to output data by the Data I/O and Display subsystem. Since the
FUH1010 is a multitasking, multifunction system, all necessary operations are interleaved to guarantee
the fastest operation and greatest real-time data density.
Installation Menu choices govern the functionality of the real-time operating system. For example, data
will be reported either in data units selected by the installer during the site setup or default units, if the
installer chose not to edit that menu choice. You can access the Installation Menu at any time to change
the selected flow rate units. Note that changing primary site setup data like the pipe outer diameter (OD)
or the transducer model will invalidate the site setup, thus requiring a reinstallation.
