FlowScannerQL

The FlowScannerQL Valve Diagnostic System consists of the FlowScannerQL hardware unit ("FlowScannerQL") and a separate computer or laptop running the QUIKLOOK FS software. The FlowScannerQL is a dedicated, modular data acquisition system which gathers signal information from up to 16 sensors and transducers at a time, both external and internal, for testing of motor-operated valves, air-operated valves, check valves or solenoid valves.

The QUIKLOOK FS software communicates with the FlowScannerQL and operates as the user interface for the FlowScannerQL. The FlowScannerQL and computer communicate via either a wired Ethernet or WiFi connection.

The powerful, flexible QUIKLOOK-FS software platform provides a variety of diagnostic tools and time-saving features for the FlowScannerQL. Capable of testing MOVs and AOVs, common features include start and stop triggers enabling unattended operation; data acquisition rates up to 50,000 samples per second; and data acquisition integrated with Windows-based analysis software.
