Claim 13:
14. A method of deploying a downhole tool having a downhole end and an uphole end, comprising:
positioning the downhole tool within a subterranean formation; wherein the downhole tool comprises:
an anchor assembly proximate to the downhole end; and
a first flowmeter assembly proximate to the anchor assembly and a second flowmeter assembly uphole of the first flowmeter assembly wherein each of the first and second flowmeters comprise a respective first flowmeter and second flowmeter having a throughbore generally aligned with an axis of the respective flowmeter; and
a coil comprising a waveguide at an uphole end, wherein the waveguide is secured at the anchor assembly and extends from the coil through the respective throughbore of the first and second flowmeters, and is secured at the anchor assembly;

retracting the coil along with the first flowmeter assembly and the second flowmeter assembly during positioning;
establishing a pressure for positioning the first flowmeter assembly at a first location and another pressure for positioning the second flowmeter assembly at a second location along a fluid path;
retrieving an uphole end of the waveguide from the downhole tool to an instrument for establishing communication.
