Software Allows Users to Totalize All Gases with One Mass Flow Meter

Oct. 31, 2013
Each totalizer is independent of the others, allowing users to totalize one gas, then switch and totalize another gas.

Sierra Instruments has released a new free-flow totalizer software module for its QuadraTherm 640i/780i mass flow meter. Through its QuadraTherm software interface program (SIP), end users now have a management tool to totalize and monetize all gases with one instrument.

The software allows users to view the totalized value of multiple gases, totalize up to four gases with one device and software package, set units per pulse and pulse width, turn totalizers on/off and reset the totalizer.

There are four totalizers visible on the user interface screen of the SIP software. The user selects one to be active. Each totalizer is independent of the others, allowing users to totalize one gas, then switch and totalize another gas. End users can switch back to their previous gas to begin totalizing flow with the previous flow total maintained or reset if necessary.
