  • Page 30: Signal Processing

    Measurement Signal processing The signal at the receiving transducer is amplified, digitized and processed digitally to provide accurate transit time measurement. A measure of the signal "quality" is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The higher the SNR, the better the signal. In general there are two types of noise: "white" noise and "colored" noise. White noise is noise that occurs across the frequency spectrum and is asynchronous to the transmitted signal.

  • Page 31: Batch Cycle Processing

    Measurement 4.2.3 Batch cycle processing Batch update period Calculation updates performed by the meter, for deriving volume and velocity, are based on batches of data samples collected from sequences of transducer firings. The batch update period is dependent upon the user specified batch update period (SpecBatchUpdtPeriod)and the stack size (StackSize) as shown in Table 4-1.

  • Page 32: Acquisition Mode

    Measurement For example, setting Smoothing to 20% means that of the samples used for the current update, 20% will be from previously collected samples and 80% will be from the newly collected samples. Thus, if eight new samples are collected, then those eight samples along with the last two previous samples would be used together for the current update period calculations.

    Measurement Chord gas and sound velocity measurements At each batch update period, each firing path's transit time measurements are averaged.
