The Spectra100 Flow Computer System is a
microprocessor-based, battery-operated, low power Electronic Flow Meter that forms a part
of an Electronic Metering System, as defined by
the Manual of Petroleum, Measurement Standards, Chapter 21.
The unit calculates the corrected gas flow by using data from primary and secondary
measurement devices.
Daniel manufacturers two versions of the Spectra100, a single run orifice meter version
and a single run turbine meter (coil or contact
closure) version. Each meter uses different measuring devices. See the figures on the
following page for a back and front view of a
Spectra100 with a single run orifice meter.

The microprocessor-based electronics are
mounted on a single printed circuit board (PCB) that is housed, along with the integrated
devices listed above, inside a compact
aluminum enclosure.
The enclosure has accouterments for bracket-
mounting, a single field-wiring port, and a front-panel door with a liquid crystal display
(LCD) that automatically scrolls displayed
data. Also on the front panel (door) are touch controls for pausing the scrolled data display
and adjusting the LCD contrast.
On the bottom of the enclosure is a water tight
RS232 serial connector for connecting the
Spectra100 to a portable (laptop) or desktop PC.

The Spectra100 hardware affords these
capabilities:
Low power operation, from a 6 volt lantern
battery, or from a 6 or 12 volt lead-acid battery combined with a solar power panel.
Two serial ports, one designed for quick
connection to a portable PC, and the other
for a permanent field-connection to a telemetry (radio or satellite link)
communications system or a Modbus
SCADA data network.
Two digital inputs and 4 outputs that operate at 0 to 24 volts.
Front panel LCD with automatic scrolling of
user-selected data items.
Power conservation features and modes of
operation that preserve the lifetime of battery power supplies, yet fully retain the
embedded software programs and stored
data.
16-bit processing power, 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) accuracy, built-in
calibration, error-checking methods, and
dual clock operation with power-conserving watchdog timer.
Industry-proven transducers for low cost
single run orifice plate and single run
turbine meter applications.

There are three types of software associated
with the Spectra100 that are potentially
important: the Spectra100 embedded software, the local interface software SpectraCom
(included with the Spectra100), and host
software.
Embedded Software. This software works
behind the scenes. Its commands are
embedded into the memory circuits and EPROMS that are integral to the Spectra100
computer system. This software does the real
work of a flow computer, which includes (but is not limited to) performing calculations,
systematically storing data into logs or Modbus
registers, and reacting to parameters changes and alarm conditions.
Local Interface Software. SpectraCom is the
local interface software that can be purchased to communicate with Spectra100 unit(s).
SpectraCom will run on a portable or desktop
PC with a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system (e.g., Windows 95 or Windows NT). It
creates Windows-standard displays and
enables you to interact with the Spectra100 embedded software, so you can perform
common flow computer-associated tasks. These
include (but are not limited to) accessing and
logging onto the Spectra100, retrieving data and logs, adjusting calculation parameters,
responding to alarms, and performing
transducer calibrations.
Host Software. Host software can, from a
remote location, collect and organize the data
or data logs being produced by the Spectra100
/+ .( & -
'0' ,$+","$ &' #( )(or other remote or network-connected flow computers). It also can, according to its
programmed capabilities, perform many of the
same control functions offered by the local interface software, SpectraCom. Host software
can be purchased from Daniel, as an option, or
it can be developed by the customer to meet specific needs.
This manual provides instructions on how to use the local interface software, SpectraCom,
for field operations involving the Spectra100,
such as installation or calibration. You will want to investigate SpectraComs extensive
online help.

The local interface and embedded software components of the SpectraCom afford (but are
not limited to) these capabilities:

The Front Panel LCD of the Spectra100
displays data in three parts, a descriptive label,
a value, and units.
Label. The label can contain a maximum of 16 characters.
Value. The value can be a maximum of 8
characters; it is displayed according to the configured number of digits of precision.
Units. The unit of measurement can be a
maximum of 8 characters.

Upon cold start, 8 items are scrolled across the LCD display. The default eight items are listed
below. The Spectra100 automatically displays
these items in English with U.S. units.

The SpectraCom software allows you to
program most displayed data points. However, you cannot remove the Spectra100 version
number or the current date and time.
The Spectra100 version number is an
alphanumeric number identifying the current
software revision. The format is: major release number, minor release number, and bug fix

Four digital outputs are available on Terminals
39 through 42 of Connector J15, with returns available on Terminals 15 through 18. The
maximum off output voltage is 33 volts and
the maximum on current is 100 mA. These outputs are not isolated from the Spectra100
system ground.

The Spectra100 has 2 RS232 communications ports. These communications circuits are not
isolated from the system ground. See the
following table for minimum, typical, and maximum values of various port parameters:
Because of the power required to drive the
termination resistors of RS232 circuits, the
Spectra100 disables the outputs when not in use. The RS232 receivers are continually
enabled because they draw only a few
microamperes. When the RS232 drivers are disabled, their outputs go to a high impedance.
This does not appear to cause problems on any
device tested, such as a US Robotics modem or

The primary port is for laptop PC access. This
port consists of a weather-tight, Military-style
connector on the Spectra100 enclosure bottom. The connector shell is in contact with the
enclosure wall so that the cable shield is at the
same potential as the enclosure. This connector extends to the main circuit board and screws
into terminals on Connector J15 (see figure

DSR2 is an input from the laptop requesting communication. This will interrupt the
processor and switch it to the high-speed clock.
A 20 millisecond delay is required before the unit is ready to receive data. To save power
when the laptop is connected for a long period
of time, the controller does not enable the transmitters until it is ready to send data.
When the laptop is disconnected or DSR2 is
lowered, the controller will re-enable its low power mode.
The wiring from the CPU to the military connector and laptop is shown in the table
below.
RTS2 and CTS2 are connected together locally at the Spectra100 Canon

The Model 24 modem card mounts to the four
standoffs located on the CPU board. This card
provides 3 connectors: a telephone connector (J6), a power connector (J5) which is not used
for a Spectra100 unit, and a RS232 connector
(J4). The telephone connector requires a standard miniature 6-position RJ11C
telephone plug. Only the TIP and RING lines are
used (J6-2 and J6-3, respectively).
Verify the Jumper selections before operation.
To achieve normal 5-second operation, set

The Model 24 modem will stay in its sleep mode when it is not connected. While in this mode,
the RS232 port is powered-off. When a host
machine calls the modem, it will answer and make a connection. Once a connection is made,
the modem will assert DCD, telling the
Spectra100 to wake up and enable its UART. When the connection is lost, the modem will
lower DCD and return to sleep mode. The
Spectra100 will disable its UART after DCD is lost.

By default, both serial ports require a DSR
signal to initialize the processor before communication can start. SpectraCom does
this by asserting the DTR, which is connected
to DSR of the flow computer via the serial cable. For situations like remote communica-

to the DSR, the DSR requirement can be disabled.

Significant updates were made to the
Spectra100 firmware, creating a more powerful and reliable product. However, these revisions
cause some incompatibilities between the 1.x
firmware and the SpectraCom software, version 2.1 (or later).
For example, because the calibration tables changed from the 1.x firmware to the 2.0 (or
later) firmware, SpectraCom 2.1 (or later) will
not be able to calibrate units running 1.x firmware. Thus, it is necessary to upgrade all
flow computers with the 2.0 (or later) firmware
so that one version of SpectraCom can support
all units. SpectraCom 2.1 (or later) will allow you to collect logs and configuration data from
the 1.x firmware unit before upgrading. The
collected configuration can then be converted for use with the new firmware.
Future releases of firmware will not have these incompatibilities.

The Spectra100 board contains a configuration
switch, S1, which affects how the flow
computer restarts (see Section A.3.1 for the switch specifications). S1-P1 (switch S1, dip
position 1) controls whether the unit cold or
warm starts. The default position is off, which results in a warm start.
The implications of a cold or a warm start depend upon the organization of the
Spectra100 memory. The Spectra100 uses two
types of memory:
RAM, where data is lost when power is
removed
FLASH, where data is not lost when power is removed
Each memory type, RAM or FLASH, maintains two functions:
$ #

"#:+! ,$ ,"$ $ +* 10'&' #( ) program memory, which stores the sequences of operations to be performed
configuration memory, which stores the
information specifying the data to be
operated on and the tables of information to be displayed
A section of the RAM backed-up by the on-board lithium battery stores all archived data.
When the flow computer is restarted in any mode, the program memory is copied from
FLASH to RAM and subsequent operation uses
the RAM. This enables recovery from any corruption of the program memory.
During a warm start, the configuration memory is not affected. The unit will continue
operation, using the data stored in the
configuration memory just before the restart occurred. Any current accumulated values and
online changes that have not been saved into a
SpectraCom file will be preserved. This is the normal method for seamlessly resuming
operation. Note that a warm start is required
when an online data change, such as a change in baud rate, affects an operational parameter;
a warm start must be performed in order for
that change to take effect.
During a cold start, the configuration files are
copied from FLASH and replace any currently

Occasionally, you will want to clear all internal data such as the accumulated values, active
alarms, alarm logs, contract logs, and event
logs. This is desirable when moving a unit from one location to another or when changing the
log configuration (otherwise, a log could contain
mixed data formats). S1-P2, when placed in the on position, will clear this internal data.
