A method, comprising:
- selecting a predefined task to be completed using a Coriolis flow meter;
- displaying a sequence of steps for using the Coriolis flow meter to complete the predefined task;
- receiving user response to the sequence of steps;
- operating the Coriolis flow meter in accordance to the user response to complete the predefined task.
A system, comprising:
- a Coriolis flow meter (204);
- a computer system, including a display, connected to the Coriolis flow meter;
- a Coriolis control module (202), running on the computer system, where the Coriolis control module is configured to control the Coriolis flow meter;
- a Coriolis guru module (208), running on the computer system, configured to communicate with the Coriolis control module;
- the Coriolis guru module configured to display a sequence of steps that directs a user through a process for using the Coriolis flow meter to complete a predefined task.
A computer product, comprising:
- computer code stored on a computer readable medium that when executed by a computer, will perform a sequence of steps, the steps comprising:
