Flo-Center Software is a Microsoft ® Windows ® -based application that enables
communication between Sigma devices with remote programming capability. With
Flo-Center, data collected by Sigma devices can be configured, downloaded, organized
and analyzed.
Other Flo-Center Software features include:
• The ability to create graphs and reports that combine and time-shift data from more
than one site for analysis
• A scalable off-the-shelf Windows compatible database
• Enhanced data editing abilities
• Enhanced download scheduling abilities
Flo-Center has two options for communication with Sigma devices:
• RS232 connection to logger
• Modem connection to logger
Site data
Sites and site data can be organized into a multi-level hierarchy. Data is collected and
stored either to a file or a database. Original data values are preserved while the user
modifies versions of the data for analysis or reporting. Data integrity is preserved even if
multiple users access the data simultaneously.
Remote programming
Remote programming templates are used to store a set of programmable settings.
Settings are configured through the remote programming dialog and applied to a Sigma
device or set of similar devices.
Remote sensor calibration
Sigma sensors connect directly to the flow meter or sampler. The sensor can be
calibrated by communicating with the flow meter or sampler through the Flo-Center
remote programming interface.
