Setting up FLOWCAL Templates

N.B. This feature is only available on the SCADA server or in standalone Profile.

N.B. FLOWCAL functionality requires a non-disclosure agreement with Quorum Software.

Profile’s unique interface makes it simple to create templates that define which fields need to be exported to mirror an RTU’s archives.

There are six types of FLOWCAL template:

Daily CFX template	Generates a periodic CFX file on a daily basis
Meter CFX template	Generates a batch CFX file when a batch ends
Receipt CFX template	Generates a batch CFX file for the receipt meter when a batch ends
Virtual CFX template	Generates a batch CFX file for a virtual meter based on the active flow path when a batch ends
PFX template	Generates a PFX file for each prove
TTF template	Generates a TTF file for a tank on a daily basis

Multiple templates of each type can be added.

Once a template has been set up it can then be shared across multiple RTUs that use the same Profile configuration.

1. Click the  icon in the Location Bar 1

2. Click “Flowcal Templates” on the Profile Menu 2

The Flowcal Templates screen will be displayed.

N.B. There is a separate list of templates for each configuration, accessed using the ‘Group’ menu 3. For ‘Liquid US’ a default template of each type will be created.

Tank	The value will be taken from the selected field in the tank configuration.
Constant	A value can be entered manually.
Unused	Unused fields will not be included in the export file.

8. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for all sections

N.B. Fields that are not needed in the export file should be set to “Unused” in the ‘Data Source’ column.

The template will now be available in the Export settings for every station with the selected configuration.
