Sonicflow is an ultrasonic measuring system designed by OTT for continuous measurement of the flow velocity "v" in open flowing waters. By using an intelligent, digital signal processor (DSP), the ultrasonic measuring system Sonicflow attains a high degree of metering precision. In combination with an OTT data logger, a Sonicflow system board and a sensor for level measurement, it is possible to measure the discharge "Q" beside the flow velocity "v". The calculation is done in the data logger - the values of water level and velocity form the basis for the hydraulic model, which is stored in the data logger. The discharge value "Q" is calculated.
