Introduction 1 / 24

UF_iSonic2000_BA_02_1310

1. Introduction

The user-interface for the iSonic consists of a graphic LCD and a 6-key keyboard. With

this interface, the user can configure the entire set-up of the instrument and select

different information screens whilst the unit is in measurement mode.

After a power-up, the iSonic will always start the measuring process, this is called RUN

mode. When a user presses the “M” key on the keyboard, the unit will enter a

configuration mode, this is called MENU mode.

The interface for the user has been made to consistently work as follows:

The ‘M’ button either, when in RUN mode, calls up the menu, or, when in MENU

mode, takes the user a menu level up.

The ‘OK’ button either starts the editing of a value or confirms a value. When editing

a value, the ‘M’ key acts as a abort key, the value remains unchanged.

When editing a value, the Up and Down arrows (▲▼) either select options for that

value (eg. ON/OFF), or for numeric values selects the next digit value.

When in menu selection mode the Up and Down arrows (▲▼) select the next menu

entry.

When editing a value, the Left and Right arrows (◄►) either select options for that

value (for instance: ON/OFF), or for numeric values select the digit next to the one

currently selected.

When in MENU mode, the Left and Right arrows (◄►) select the next menu entry.

The entire menu system is shown in the attached, “Appendix 2 – Total Menu System”

Please note that the RUN mode is not always entered after a power-up; if unit has

detected a faulty configuration, the MENU mode is automatically entered, requiring a user

to configure the unit again.

Not all configuration data is available through this interface, certain settings such as

modem configuration, telephone numbers and the likes are only accessible through the

PC configuration program. The LCD/Keyboard interface is mainly provided for quick field

configuration changes and it is recommended to use the PC interface for initial

configuration of a unit. The reasons for this is two fold:

1. The PC configuration program is easier to work with and gives a more

comprehensive overview of a configuration.

2. The PC configuration program performs numerous checks and does not allow invalid

configurations. This is contrary to the menu system where a user is able to enter an

invalid configuration. The iSonic does perform certain checks on the configuration but

not all situations are tested.

Run screens 2 / 24

UF_iSonic2000_BA_02_1310

2. Run screens

The first screen that is brought up by the unit combines most of the measurements that

are being taken. It typically looks as follows:

Other RUN screens can be selected by using the Up/Down and Left/Right keys. Available

screens are:

Either TRD 1 or TRD2 screen:

All relevant information for the selected transducer, measured level, calculated units and

a min - max bar graph:

In the above screen, head is indicated in mm, also the process value is expressed in a

percentage value. The application is a flow measurement, indicated in cubic feet per

second. The minimum & maximum flow points (0% and 100%) are also indicated. The

bottom of the screen shows the totaliser value for this channel.

Relay and Analogue Inputs screen:

This screen shows the analogue inputs in mA and in percentage value. It also shows the

complete status of each relay, whether it is ON (1) or OFF (0), the ON switch point and

the OFF switch point, and what the current process value is. On the above screen, Relay

4 is configured as a periodic timer and the ON and OFF time is shown in minutes.

Bigger sized readout screen:

Calculated measurement information only.

This screen can be selected by pressing a “Right” or “Left” button.

3. Main menu

Any editing of the instrument’s settings can only be performed when the correct password

is entered. To enter the MENU mode from the Run mode, press the ‘M’ button on the

instrument. The following password screen will appear:

At time of shipping, the password is set for “0000”. When the password screen is shown,

the unit also displays the version number of the software and its serial number.

If an incorrect password is entered at this stage the software will simply return to Run

mode. Also, if nothing is entered for 15 seconds, the unit will automatically return to Run

mode.

Configuration menu 4 / 24

UF_iSonic2000_BA_02_1310

Once the password is correctly entered, the main menu navigation screen will appear:

During menu navigating, a ‘>’ character on the left hand side of the screen will indicate at

which menu entry the user is busy. Pressing the Up & Down arrow keys moves the

selection indicator. To select a menu entry, press the ‘OK’ button.

At an editable entry, when pressing the ‘OK” button, the indicator will change to a ‘’

character, showing that this entry is now being edited.

The main menu entries perform the following functions:

Run; will start the measurement process again.

Configure; allows the user to configure the settings of the instrument (password

protected)

Calibrate; allows the user to calibrate the measurements of the instrument

(password protected).

Reset Output; allows the user to reset all the outputs.

Tune; is intended for measuring the echo manually, it is typically intended for use

during an installation or during trouble shooting.

Language; allows the user to select a preferred interface language.

Change Password; here the user can configure a unique password setting.

4. Configuration menu

The configuration menu is displayed as follows:

Where:

I/O channels; allows the user to enter the configuration for all the I/O signals.

Units; allows the user to configure the measurement units for the unit. Under this

sub-menu one can set the temperature, level, flow and volume units. Also, it is

possible to configure the date & time format.

I/O channels: Transducer menu 5 / 24

UF_iSonic2000_BA_02_1310

The iSonic supports:

oTemperature: C°, F°

oLevel: mm, m, inch, ft

oVolume: m3, l, acft (Acre Feet), gal(USA), gal(UK), bbl (Barrel)

oFlow: m3/s, m3/d, l/s, cfs, Mgd(USA), gpm(USA), Mgd(UK), gpm(UK)

One special note on gallons; regardless of whether the user has selected US or UK

gallons, the iSonic will display “gal” in its measurements, whilst using the correct

conversion factor in its calculations.

Set Date/Time; configures the instrument’s internal clock. The screen shows the

actual time and allows the user to change the settings.

Error delay; this factor determines how long the “last known good value” is held.

Log/Power/Comms; enters a sub-menu where the user can set Logging

parameters, Low Power operation and communication parameters.

Factory Default; selecting this option resets all the parameters back to a factory

default setting.

When “drilling” one level down from I/O channels, the user is presented with the following

screen:

From this point onward, any I/O channel of the unit can be configured, using the

appropriate type selection and index.

5. I/O channels: Transducer menu

The configuration for a transducer is reached through the selection, “Configuration I/O

channels Transducer”. Once the “Transducer” entry is reached, the screen will show “

Transducer 1”, at that stage the user can select transducer 1 or 2 by pressing the Up

Down arrows and then confirming by pressing “OK”.

When selecting “Configuration I/O channels Transducer 1”, the user is presented

with the following screen:

I/O channels: Process setup menu 6 / 24

UF_iSonic2000_BA_02_1310

Using this menu, the user can edit all the parameters for Transducer 1:

Whether it is active (On / Off)

The transducer’s active frequency, settable in kHz

Which type of measurement is being performed, this can be Level, Volume, Flow,

Function or Sound. The “Function” entry indicates that a combination of 2

transducers is used where both their values are added, subtracted, averaged or used

to calculate a differential flow. The “Sound” type can only be used on TRD2. Making

this selection indicates that a special “Speed of Sound” transducer is connected on

TRD2.

The filtering to be applied on the measurement, this can be; None, 16, 32, 64 and

128. This value describes the number of samples that are taken to reach the

measured value, “None” means that the directly measured value is used.

Deadband tells the instrument from which distance to start measuring.

Rate allows the configuration of the firing rate of the instrument. This can be fast,

medium and slow. When a slow varying measurement is sought, select 128

averaging together with a “slow” repeat rate.

Process setup takes the user into the configuration for the actual process; this is

where the measurement process can be described in detail.

6. I/O channels: Process setup menu

The process setup menu is reached through the Transducer Menu. The sequence

“Configuration I/O channels Transducer 1 Process Menu”, produces the following

display:

The next screens from here on out are:

The two limits for the level measurement are set here. The bar graphs, which are

available in several RUN screens, are also configured with these limits. The units used in

0% and 100% are as selected in the “Units” set-up. If values are entered in ‘mm’ and at a

later stage ‘inches’ are chosen the instrument will automatically perform the correct

conversion.

Level setup

I/O channels: Process setup menu 7 / 24

UF_iSonic2000_BA_02_1310

Again, the 0% and 100% points can be programmed here, but in addition, the tank can be

described as:

Vertical Cylinder (“Vert Cyl”)

Vertical Cylinder with a Bottom Cone (“V-Cyl +Cone”). The “X Dim:” value is used to

describe the height of the cone.

Horizontal Cylinder (“Hor Cyl”). This would typically be a vesel lying on its side, the “X

Dim:” value is used to indicate the horizontal length.

Sphere (“Sphere”) for a round tank.

Scaled (“Scaled”), where the vessel is calibrated in volume per head. Use the

“Scale:” value to calibrate the reading.

Other (“Other”), selects the custom table values.

After having made the proper tank type selection, the distance to Bottom, the Diameter,

and other parameters can be filled.

In addition to the 0% and 100% points, the user can select the following Weir & Flume

types:

V-Notch weirs

Rectangular weirs with end contractions (“Contr. Rect.”)

Rectangular weirs without end contractions (“Suppr. Rect.”)

Trapezoidal weirs (“Cipolletti”)

Parshall flumes (“Parshall”)

Leopold-Lagco flumes (“Leopold-Lagco”)

Other, select this option to describe a non-standard weir or flume in the “Custom

Table” which can be found under the “Process Setup” screen. This is a 15 segment

user entered discharge table (flow vs. head)

The “Weir size”, “Zero level” and “V-notch” parameters are used to describe the weir or

flume in further detail.

The “Units/tic” parameter is used in applications where an external totalising instrument is

connected to one of the iSonic’s digital outputs. In the above example, the tick rate is 1

tick for every 1 cubic meter.

I/O channels: Process setup menu 8 / 24

UF_iSonic2000_BA_02_1310

Alarm setup

If an alarm is required for the relevant transducer (‘1’ in this screen), this is where to

configure that alarm. Typically, the Alarm indicates an out-of-process value hence the

“Alarm above” and “Alarm below” values. The setting is in percentages of the entire

measurement range. The “Hysteresis” value avoids a jittery boundary effect, in this

example the alarm will trip at 95% but will only reset once the process value reaches

93%. Similarly on the bottom value, the alarm trips at 5% but will only reset at 7%.

The “Function” entry of the “Process Menu” can be a complex application to setup, please

refer to the “Special Function Setup” appendix of this document for a more detailed

description of the do’s and don’ts of this setting.

This entry is only used if “Function” was chosen under “Transducer Menu Type”. Once

this is done, iSonic is configured to make use of both transducers and perform one of the

following functions:

Add, the values of both measurements are added together.

Subtract, the values of both measurements are subtracted as follows:

“Measurement Value = Transducer1 – Transducer2”.

Average, the values of both measurements are averaged.

Differential Flow (“Diff Flow”). This is an application where 2 transducers are used

to measure differential flow. Please refer to Appendix 1 for a more detailed

description.

Gain Setup

This screen allows the adjustment of gain over the total range of the returned echo signal.

For each distance range a selection of gain can be made; None, Low, Medium or High.

This is used when measuring difficult applications or tank environments where the default

gain settings have to be adjusted in order to get proper signals.

The last entry of the “Process Menu” is marked “Custom table”. This is used in certain

instances of Volume & Flow applications. It is typically used in non-standard installations

where the user describes a few known points and the system must interpolate between

these points. Note that the custom table must be filled with consecutive values, starting

from smallest head to biggest head. Please note that each transducer has its own table

and not all table entries have to be filled.

The first entry where the ‘Head’ value is zero, terminates the table.
