Daniel CUI version 4.21 is the final version that supports Daniel Mark II Gas Ultrasonic meters. If you are communicating with a Daniel Ultrasonic Mark II Gas Flow Meter, you do not need to uninstall version 4.21 or earlier versions of Daniel CUI before installing MeterLink. Version 4.21 and earlier versions of Daniel CUI should not be run simultaneously with MeterLink.

Continuous Flow Analysis

Continuous Flow Analysis provides operators and technicians with critical ultrasonic meter diagnostic capabilities with meter status alerts when problems occur with:

•Abnormal profile

•Blockage

•Internal bore buildup

•Liquids present in the gas meter

•Reverse Flow

•Speed of Sound comparison error
