How to Choose What Interface to Use for Your Integrated Flow Measurement Solution

1. Ensuring a seamless data transfer by choosing the right interface


The SonoTT™ SkyLark Series contains different interface options to ensure it fulfills the requirements of most host systems.

2. Serial Communication Basics



No matter the interface, they all contain these characteristics:

  • Baud rates, which describes the speed of data communication
  • Stop bits to stop data transmissions
  • Bits to find errors within the data transfer

3. Benefits of UART TTL


Serial input/output for transmission of bits:

  • Easy to pair
  • Compatible with most micro-controllers on the market
  • Easy to implement into em-bedded circuits

4. Benefits of RS-232


Telecommunication standard within UART communication:

  • Well-known interface
  • More extreme voltage signals
  • Providing valid and reliable data with longer travel distances of signals

5. Benefits of CAN


Use of serial binary interchange to pass on information:

  • Transmission of high data volume
  • Well-protected data through several safety features
  • Speed of data transmission can benefit the feature of bubble detection
