The basic connection for initial configuration of the ADFM is a
serial connection with a computer (RS-232 or RS-422), or with a
modem.
The ADFM controller may optionally have a factory-installed
28800 bps modem with data compression and error correction
capabilities.
The AD FM is config ured and programmed using Isco's
WinADFM software. WinADFM also retrieves the flow data, pro-
viding analysis, editing, and reporting.
Isco's Flowlink® 5.1 software may be purchased optionally. The
ADFM can be configured and programmed using Flowlink. In
addition to data retrieval, analysis, editing, and reporting,
Flowlink 5.1 is compatible with most other Isco environmental
instruments, providing a wide variety of networking and inter-
facing possibilities. The added capabilities of Flowlink Pro client
software include support for an enterprise database, Web UI, and
pushing data to a server.
Isco offers additional tools to expand the ADFM's communication
capabilities. For detailed information about these instruments,

accQcomm Interface Module – T h e
RS232/RS422 serial data from up to three ADFM flow meters
and converts the data to industry standard MODBUS protocol, or
a 4-20 mA analog current loop. The module also provides pro-
grammable alarm outputs and data viewing on the Web.
While the ADFM controller has no data display (the box con-
troller's internal display is only for test information), the
accQcomm's front panel LCD is capable of displaying data output
for each connected flow meter (flow, totalized flow, velocity, level
and temperature), as well as 4-20 mA outputs. For additional
information, see the accQcomm user manual on the Isco web site.
