4. Measurements
a. When connected, the software shall continually poll the site for real -time readings, which
are displayed, along with any test data, in a single window.
b. The software shall provide tools for functional testing of the system and for field
evaluation at the installation site.
c. Advanced commands shall be available for overriding one or more programmed
parameters.
d. Units of measure shall be selectable for Flow, Level, Velocity, and Temperature.
5. Flow Rate
a. Channel geometry and dimensions, and sensor mounting information, are entered by the
user. As the information is entered, Flowlink displays a corresponding preview of the
channel. Available settings are dependent upon the instrument type.
6. Data
a. Data storage settings we viewed and managed by the user. Available settings are
dependent upon the instrument type.
b. Data storage in the instrument' s internal recorder may be set via Flowlink software for
slate or wrap mode, as well as output to Flowlink software.
c. The data storage interval is selectable in minutes. The selectable number of individual
measurements per reading shall be determined by the storage interval.
d. A reduced data format shall be selectable for more manageable file sizes.
e. The Linear Regression Model, forced depth value ( constant level value), and
precisionlresolution ratio shall be selectable for H -ADFM configurations.
D. SOFTWARE UPDATES
The software shall update the flash memory in Lsco instruments with a new program, without
requiring the user to open the instrument enclosure. The software shall also have the capability to
reset the program to factory defaults in 2100 Series Flow Modules, 4100 Series Flow Loggers,
4200 Series Flow Meters, 6700 Series Samplers with 700 Series Flow Modules, and 581 Rapid
Transfer Devices.
E. IMPORTING DATA
1. The software shall import data generated by other software programs.
2. The software shall include a small, separate application for converting databases and site files
created in Flowlink version 5. 0 for use in Flowlink version 5. 1. Site files created in Flowlink
3 and 4 may also be converted with this application, after first being converted to Flowlink
5. 0.
3. The software shall import ASCII data from a spreadsheet file in comma separated value
format. The software shall import multiple columns of data from a spreadsheet file, and shall
identify the type of data, units of measure, resolution, and number of significant digits, based
on the header information in the spreadsheet file.
4. The software shall import files created with W h ADFM software ( formerly used with Pulse
Doppler instruments).

1. The software shall generate a line graph with the most recent data from a data set under a site
in the database when the data set is double clicked. The graph shall be automatically scaled a
based on the data that is graphed, the color for the line on the graph shall be automatically
selected, the label for the line shall be automatically set to the label of the data set in the
database, the time span of the graph shall be a user selected default, and the total value of the
data over the time span ( for flow rate and rainfall data) or the average value of the data over
the time span (for all other types of data) shall be displayed below the label. The software
shall add an additional pane to the graph with a line graph of the data from an additional data-
set under the same site or a different site in the database when the additional data set is
dragged and dropped onto the graph. The second pane shall be automatically scaled based on
the data that is graphed, the color for the line on the graph shall automatically be different
from that of the line in the fast pane, and the label and the total or average value, when set by
the user, shall be automatically set in the same manner. The software shall allow graphs with
up to 4 panes to be generated in this manner.
Format of Graphs and Tables
a. The software shall convert a graph into a table, and vice versa, with a single click. The
average and total values of the data over the time span for flow rate and rainfall data, and
the average value of the data over the time span for all other types of data, shall be
displayed at the bottom of the table.
b. The time span for a graph or table shall be any number of hours, days, weeks, months, or
years, and shall begin with either the current or prior day, week, or month, a relative day
and time, or an absolute date and time. Dates shall be selected from a calendar.
c. The software shall allow the user to enter a label for each line, to select the type of each
line to be either a line graph, bar graph, or point graph, and to select the units of measure,
pane, Y axis, color, line type, and symbol for each line.
d. The software shall generate graphs with up to 4 Y axes, with each Y axis either
automatically or manually scaled.
e. A movable vertical line shall mark a time stamp on the graph with which to compare the
values of all data points intersected by the vertical line. Each value is reported in the
legend.
f. Up to two horizontal lines shall be displayed at user -specified values for annotation of
ranges, limits, etc.
g. The software shall have the capability to create and save graph/table templates using data
from any site, with all properties of the graph or table specified by the user. When a
different site is dragged and dropped onto a template, the data from this site shall be
substituted for the template site, with all other properties of the graph or table remaining
identical to that of the template. The software shall then allow the user to save the new
graph or table.
h. The software shall include over 150 standard graph/ table templates, including a variety of
graphs and tables, with daily, weekly, and monthly time spans, with one and more than
one data type, with raw data, and average, minimum, maximum, and total data. When a
site is dragged and dropped onto a template, the data from this site shall be displayed on
the template, with all other properties of the graph or table remaining identical to that of
the template. The software shall then allow the user to save the new graph or table. The

software shall allow the user to modify the standard templates and save the new
templates. a
i. The software shall include flow profile graphing options for Pulsed Doppler data,
including cross section, velocity graph, vectors, amplitude, and correlation, any or all of
which may be displayed simultaneously in separate panes.
3. Presentation of Graphs and Tables
a. The software shall generate graphs with up to 4 panes, with a user specified relative
height for each pane.
b. The software shall print graphs and tables in either portrait or landscape orientation.
c. The software shall invert selected data in a graph for ease of comparison or reference.
d. The software shall include the capability to scroll the graph or table 25% of the time span
to the left and right, to scroll the graph or table to the previous and next time span, and to
scroll the graph or table to the beginning and end of the data.
e. The software shall display the date, time, and value at a cursor on a graph when a
location on the graph is clicked. The cursor shall move to the left and right on the graph,
and between the different lines on the graph, by using the arrows on the computer
keyboard.
C The software shall have zoom
