FlowView, Flow Control Software

FlowView is a free flow software tool that allows users to easily operate Bronkhorst digital flow instrumentation. It’s a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) client program that works with Bronkhorst FlowDDE for operating Bronkhorst flow meters and controllers or readout-units.

Parameters for reading or control are:

  • set point
  • measure
  • set point control mode
  • fluid number
  • type, model, and device function
  • alarm configuration
  • counter configuration

Description

FlowView is a flow control software for Bronkhorst digital flow instrumentation. Parameters displayed in the application window include:

  • user-defined name of the instrument: USERTAG
  • serial number
  • number of the selected digital channel
  • set point and instantaneous flow rate by means of a cursor on a % scale
  • instantaneous flow rate in physical unit and nature of the fluid
  • control mode: RS232 / BUS / analog etc.
  • selection of set point ramp
  • selection of one of the 8 memorizable calibration curves
  • counter display

Functions of FlowView Flow Control Software

  • read the serial number
  • indicate a tag number
  • select the channel
  • change the set point
  • read measurements
Advanced Functions
  • modify the control mode
  • create slopes
  • change the gas (for multi-fluid instruments)
  • configure the counters and alarms
  • multiple instruments in the network
Alarm Management
  • selection of the alarm mode: minimum / maximum, difference measurement / set point, etc.
  • select the delay before the alarm is triggered
  • set point change in alarm mode
  • alarm reset mode: automatic, bus, keyboard, etc.
Counter Management
  • select counter mode: with or without limit
  • unit selection
  • selection of the set point change when the limit is reached
  • reset mode: automatic, bus, keyboard, etc.

System Requirements

Computer
  • x86 or x64 700 MHz or higher / 256 MB internal RAM
  • 100 MB available disk space
  • 1024 x 768 or higher resolution, 256 colors or more
  • Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 or Windows 10 (x86 or x64)
Operating System Settings

The digit grouping symbol of currency must always differ from the number’s decimal symbol. Having equal symbols is not valid (not just in this situation, but also in other situations) and will probably cause other problems as well. Issues may arise with certain regional and language options on Windows XP when the system language is set to a language not supported by Jet 4.0.

Supported Instruments
  • all digital Bronkhorst instruments
  • FlowView is a DDE-client program, therefore FlowDDE V4.69 or higher must be running
