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 11):
The circuitry of  claim 8 , wherein determining the value of the respective data point further comprises determining an absolute value of a difference in the center frequency of the FFT of the upstream signal and the center frequency of the FFT of the downstream signal.
