TDC1000-GASEVM: configurations tdc-1000-GASEVM

Part Number: TDC1000-GASEVM

Hello. I am trying to get the TDC-1000-GASEVM to work. The problem seems to be in the configurations. When i connect it to the Oscilloscope i can see all the signals mentioned in the user guide, but i can't get the system to make sense. The system seems to generate TOF - measurement without having recived a stop signal. when i push air through the measuring device i get no response, always show zero flow. My transducers are 352 kHz, jumper is placed on CPU clock. Attached are screenshots of my configuration

Can someone help me figure out what is wrong in my configurations.

  • Hi Andre,

    Can you please post a screenshot of the TDC7200 tab, and save your configuration file then upload it here as well?

    Thanks,

  • Hi Andre,

    Thank you. Please start by setting the NUMBER OF STOPS setting on the TDC7200 tab to five in addition to your current register settings.

    Regards,

  • Hei Scott. 

    The configurations does not work properly. Do you have any other configurations i can try. 

    Or an idea about what might be wrong?

    André,

  • Hi Scott, i have experimented with different config.The system is not functioning propperly, i assume it lies in2262.scope_pictures.docxthe configuration. It seams that the TDC1000-GASEVM create stop pulses without having received an ultrasonic signal. attached are some scope pictures during meassurement, the stop signals generate randomly and differ in number of created pulses. Can you think off what else might be the problem?

    Regards,

    André
