Hydraulic System Analyzer
USB
Software
The Flo-tech Analyzer software provides a real-time graphical and digital interface for monitoring and/or recording pressure, temperature, and flow rate parameters from the Hydraulic Analyzer. In addition to the graphical and digital displays, the main screen also consists of a menu bar, buttons with common functions, and alarm
indicators. The software offers the following options:• View real time pressure, temperature, flow rate and power measure ments• Record all measurements to a file• Choice of recording all measurement points or capturing points manually• Selection of all measurement units, US or metric• Ability to adjust display of graph data
• High/Low alarm
indicators set by the operatorAll measurements taken (as shown in Table 1) can be saved once per second to a comma separated value (.csv) file for export into a spreadsheet program. For example, recording for 2 minutes would yield 120 points of data. Even though data points are only recorded once per second, pressure spikes and dips are captured by recording the maximum or minimum pressure during each measurement period. Therefore, the precise shape of the pressure spike is not recorded but its amplitude and the time it occurred are both recorded.The graph on the main screen contains more than 60 points of data. Previous data points are saved in memory and can be viewed at any time. Adjustments can be made to optimize data that is displayed by hiding individual graph plots, adjusting the scale of each plot or adding horizontal gridlines to the graph.There are three sets of High/Low alarm
indicators on the main screen that monitor pressure, temperature, and flow rate. Alarm
indicators flash if the current system measurements exceed the alarm limits set by ColorIndication Table 1 Measurement(over a 1 second time period) AlarmIndication DigitalIndication GraphicalDisplay RecordtoFile GreenDark GreenDark GreenBlueYellowOrange Average PressureMinimum PressureMaximum PressureAverage TemperatureAverage Flow RateAverage Power
