Abstract:
A method, system and apparatus is disclosed for auto-tuning a circuit associated with an upstream transducer (UPT) and a circuit associated with a downstream transducer (DNT) for reciprocal operation in an ultrasonic flowmeter. The method includes exchanging signals between the upstream transducer and the downstream transducer; comparing at least one of respective maximum amplitudes of an upstream signal and a downstream signal and respective center frequencies of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the upstream signal and the downstream signal; and responsive to determining that at least one of the respective maximum amplitudes and the respective center frequencies do not match, correcting the mismatch.

Claim (Index 9):
The circuitry of  claim 8 , wherein:\n the local minimum is determined when the second component has been set to all values in the second range or the value of the respective data point is no longer becoming smaller than a previous value; and the global minimum is determined when the first component has been set to all values in the first range or the value of the respective data point is no longer becoming smaller than a previous value.
