Fluid measurement interface systems and methods

A fluid measurement system, the system comprising:

• at least one of AC compensator configured and adapted to measure a capacitance of a fluid or a spool densitometer configured and adapted to measure a density of the fluid;
• a signal processor operatively connected to at least one of the AC compensator or the spool densitometer, the signal processor configured and adapted to produce a serial word that is indicative of at least one of the density of the fluid from the spool densitometer or the capacitance of the fluid from the AC compensator, the serial word configured to be communicated externally of the signal processor;
• and
• a processing system operatively connected to the signal processor to read the serial word and decode the serial word, wherein the processing system includes a velocity of sound signal conditioner to read and decode the serial word, wherein a transmit function of the velocity of sound signal conditioner is configured and adapted to be disabled to allow for improved communication between the velocity of sound signal conditioner and the signal processor.
