Features and Capabilities
Overview (cont.)
The TransPort has the ability to store site data in files which can 
be accessed at a later time. Within the Main Menu, a set of forms 
(windows) asks you all the necessary setup information for a 
particular site. Once you answer the necessary questions, you 
simply save the information to a file.
The TransPort stores these files and other data in non-volatile 
memory, which retains the information even if power is turned 
off. The flowmeter itself runs on rechargeable or alkaline 
batteries for up to 8 hours.
This small, lightweight flowmeter displays measurements in both 
numeric and graphical form on a 240 x 200 pixel, EL-backlit 
LCD graphic screen. The TransPort also has the capability of 
logging over 100,000 flow data points internally.
Using an infrared communications port, the TransPort can 
transmit or print logged data, as well as site files, real time data 
and other stored data.  
To assist you, the TransPort is fully equipped with context-
sensitive on-line help which is accessible at any time by simply 
pressing the  “?” (Help) key. Internal diagnostic and 
troubleshooting features help isolate and remedy common 
flowcell and transducer problems.
