Entering Data In The Channel Menu; Selecting The Channel Measurement Method - GE DigitalFlow XGS868i Programming Manual

C.5 Entering Data in the Channel Menu
Channel
The menu is used to enter data specific to each channel. Refer to Figure 52 on page 139 and Figure 53 on
page 140 in Appendix D, PanaView Menu Maps, and remember to record all programming data in Appendix B, Data
Records.
Note: In this manual, only the programming of Channel 1 will be described. To program Channel 2 of a 2-Channel
meter, simply repeat the same procedures presented for Channel 1.
C.5.1 Selecting the Channel Measurement Method
Status
The submenu permits selection of the desired measurement method.
1. In the Site Data Menu, double-click on the desired channel.
2. Highlight and double-click on the Status option in the center pane. The window now appears similar to Figure 44.
3. Double-click on Burst to activate the channel/path.
Note: Burst is automatically selected for a 1-Channel meter.
4. Double-click on one of the measurement methods described below.
Skan Only is the preferred technique for locating the acoustic signal and for high velocity measurements. It is
•
more robust in a noisy environment than the Measure technique.
Skan/Measure is the preferred technique to use for low velocity measurements.
•
If Skan Only is selected at the above prompt, the meter uses this technique exclusively. However, if Skan/Measure is
selected, the meter uses Skan Only to find the acoustic signal and then tries to use the Skan/Measure technique for the
actual measurement.
Note: To change the Skan Only and Skan/Measure parameters, see the
PanaView returns to the Channel PROGRAM menu shown in Figure 41 on page 95. Proceed to the System option.
