coefficient. Equations
shall be a two term polynomial equation. Area velocity shall include
round, U- shaped, rectangular, trapezoidal, and elliptical channels, with a
correction for silt level. Data points shall include up to 50 pairs of points
to convert level to flow rate, or level to area.
4) The software shall allow the user to set up 2 independent total flow
calculations. For each total flow calculation, the software shall allow the

measurement upon which the total flow calculation shall be based, set the am
total flow calculation to either totalize net, positive or negative flows, set
the resolution, and set the interval at which the total flow shall be updated.
5) The software shall display the remaining battery capacity, based on
Eveready Energizer Alkaline Lantern Batteries.
viii) Wireless Power Management
The software shall be capable of turning the 2103c cellular modem and the
2102 wireless transmitter on or off, depending on site conditions defined by an
equation. When the conditions of the equation are true, the site shall tam the
modem on. When false, the modem is not powered to conserve battery power.
Refer to 2) B) xi) Equation Builder.
ix) Dialout Alarms
The software shall enable the user to program 2103 and 2103c modem
modules to issue dial -out text message alarms to cellular phones and pagers.
Alarms shall be triggered by site conditions defined by an equation. Refer to
2) B) xi) Eauation Builder.
x) Pushed Data
The software shall enable the user to configure a site with a 2103 or 2103c
modem module to push data to an enterprise database server. The data in the
database can then be viewed by authorized users in a Web browser or with
Flowlink Pro. Refer to 3) ENTERPRISE DATABASE
xi) Equation Builder
An equation building and editing tool shall be used to create equations for
various site conditions from one or more 2100 modules within a system.
These equations can be used to generate alarms, log or push measurement data
at secondary rates, and conserve power by turning on equipment only when
needed.
The triggering event shall be an AND /OR combination of one or more
conditions, where each condition shall be based on selected available
parameters measured by the system, which includes but is not limited to level,
velocity, flow rate, total flow, temperature, voltage, or time. Each condition
other than time shall be either greater than or equal to a set point, less than or
equal to a set point, or a rate of change over a time period. A duration operator
shall be available to modify the condition. A time condition shall include up to
four start and stop time periods, where each time period shall be either daily,
weekly, Monday through Friday, or a specific time. A NOT operator shall be
available to modify any condition other than time. Parentheses shall be
available to group conditions.

a
Yv
am
The software shall include support for a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or Oracle lOg
enterprise database, Web user interface to view data, pushed data to server (IF listener
and modem listener), and server configuration options via the Flowlink Professional
client, for use with the 2100 modem modules. All database operations shall be
restricted to the Flowlink database alone.
A) Pushed Data
Through either the telephone number assigned to the modem module or direct RS-
232 connection, any Flowlink product may be used to configure the 2100 site to
push data to the server. Data will be pushed every 5 minutes to 24 hours.
i) A secondary interval can be configured to push data more or less frequently
based on site conditions defined by an equation. Refer to x) Equation Builder.
B) The software shall include a database connection that accepts pushed data from
multiple, remote Isco 2100 Series devices, from the EP listener component. The
received data shall be stored in an enterprise database, and can be viewed by
authorized users with the Web UI with Internet Explorer or Flowlink Pro.
i) The Flowlink Server shall have a modem listener to direct incoming data from
a 2103 modem module, transferred via landline, to the EP listener.
ii) The Flowlink Server IF listener shall direct incoming data from the intemet
from a 2103c modem module, into the database.
iii) The maximum number of sites the server is capable of supporting is 500, each
site having a maximum of 3 flow modules and one modem module.
iv) Data modification and maintenance can only be performed using Flowlink
Professional or enterprise database software on a Windows PC.
C) Alarm Server
The Alarm Server component can be configured to notify users via email and/or
SMS text message if a site does not make contact within a specified interval.
D) Flowlink Professional User Roles
i) The Flowlink Professional Administrator shall have full rights and be able to
manage all Flowlink accounts for managers and field crew.
ii) The Flowlink Professional Administrator and Manager( s) shall be able to:
Overwrite data
Verify the database
Create and configure server alarms
Delete data after archive or transfer
iii) The Flowlink Professional Administrator, Manager( s), and Field Crew shall
be able to:
View and append data
Modify device configurations
Archive and transfer data

4) SOFTWARE UPDATES
The software shall update the flash memory in 2101 Field Wizards, 2103/ c Modem a
Modules, 2100 Flow Modules, 4100 Series Flow Loggers, 4200 Series Flow Meters,
6700 Series Samplers with 700 Series Flow Modules, 581 Rapid Transfer Devices,
and 6100 Samplers 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.
5) IMPORTING DATA
The software shall import data generated by other software programs.
A) The software shall import site files that were generated using Flowlink Software
Versions 3 and 4 containing level, velocity, flow rate, rainfall, pH, dissolved
oxygen, conductivity, temperature, and sample data from 3200 and 4200 Series
Flow Meters, 4100 Series Flow Loggers, 6700 Series Samplers, PAL 1101
Parameter Actuator/Loggers, 675 and 676 Logging Rain Gauges, and 581 Rapid
Transfer Devices.
B) 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.
6) GRAPHS AND TABLES
A) 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 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
