Ramp Flume Assembly

See how to assemble a Nuway EZ Flow Ramp Flume, our most popular and cost-effective flume. There are 4 models currently available. The NuWay ramp flume is a cost-effective way to measure water in an open channel.  The flume is easy to install into an open ditch, simply make sure the bottom floor of the flume is a couple of inches higher than the lowest part of the ditch immediately downstream of the flume. If you would like to learn more about using a ramp flume to measure your open channel flow rate simply click below, or contact us for more information.

Global Water Flow Probe

See how to use the FP111 Global Water Flow Probe to measure flow rate in a channel. Unlike a flume or other solutions, the Flow Probe is portable and can be used to measure and spot-check flow in almost any channel.

We have also created a video showing the use of the “Float Method” for measuring flows without a flow probe.

Connecting to and the Initial Setup of a Campbell Scientific Datalogger

This video will help you to learn how to set up a new datalogger in the Campbell Scientific software.  This will allow you to communicate with the many different dataloggers that they offer.  The tutorial will show how to connect to a CR800 or CR850 datalogger, the set up is very similar to all Campbell Scientific datalogger models.  Many of their loggers are now using USB to connect and communicate.  There is another video located on the Campbell Scientific website that will show how to use LoggerNet to connect to the latest CR1000X datalogger using a USB connection.  Here is a link to that video tutorial.

There are a few versions of Campbell Software, including LoggerNet, PC200W and PC400.  You can click here to learn more about the different options.

We are happy to train you on the use of these Campbell Scientific dataloggers, contact us with your questions.

Retrieving and Viewing Data from a Datalogger

This tutorial will continue the training from the tutorial above.  This video will show how to download and save data from a datalogger, graph it, and how to use the live monitoring tool.  This will also be done using the CR800 or CR850 datalogger.  However, this is a similar process for all models of dataloggers.  If you have questions about this process and what other options are available please contact us for assistance.
