1) Turn on the unit

2) Press 'Enter' for the main menu

3) Set the units in the Setup parameters menu

4) To start the measurements select 'Start Data Run' from the main menu

5) Enter a junk name of some sort. The name isn't important since we won't be logging the data to the computer. To enter alphabet characters do the following:

 a) press a number button
 b) use the 'ABC+' and 'ABC-' keys to find the letter you want
 c) press a number button to move to the next character in the name
 d) repeat
 e) press the 'Enter' key when you're done.

6) You don't need to worry about the next screen which prompts for staff and gauge heights. So, you're ready to begin the measurements by selecting the 'Next Station' button.

7) Specify starting from the left bank or the right bank by pushing the 'LEW/REW' key.

8) Now, you're ready to begin making measurements so hit the 'Next Station' button

9) At this point, if you'd like the unit to calculate discharge for you, you should enter the station number and depth by using the 'Set Location' key and the 'Set Depth' key.

10) Select 'Measure' to begin measuring.

11) At the end of the measurement period the flowtracker will ask you to accept or repeat the measurement. If you accept you can move to the next station and repeat.

12) When you've come to the far bank you're done measuring. To tell the meter this, press the 'End Selection' button twice.

13) Next, you need to specify the station value for this bank. Toggle left and right bank as before by pressing the 'LEW/REW' key.

14) Press 'Calc. Disch.' twice to let the meter calculate the discharge.

15) You can see the discharge from this display point. When you're done looking press '9' to exit and go back to the main menu.


Another good item: Battery Voltage accessible from the System Functions Menu. To get there select the 'System Functions Menu' and then choose on the second page option 5 'Battery Data'
