The Caldon USM Advisor is used as a PC diagnostic tool for a wide variety of multipath ultrasonic flow meter models and pipeline interface detectors. The Caldon USM Advisor software, equipped with easy to interpret live and historical data, is intended to work with one or multiple multipath ultrasonic flow meters to provide an easy and user-friendly system used to quickly and accurately calibrate, monitor, and maintain these meters over their life cycle. The Caldon USM Advisor implements a state-of-the-art fingerprinting feature that enables users monitoring the system to capture a collection of reference points over a range of conditions to better monitor each meter. This is done by comparing operational data to the fingerprint data captured during optimal operating conditions. By comparing the meter operation to these points over time, patterns can be detected that indicate a reduction of efficiency, need for recalibration, or scheduling of preventative maintenance. Early preventative maintenance predicted using the Caldon USM Advisor software may significantly prolong the life of connected multipath ultrasonic meters and may additionally reduce the downtimes for those meters.
