Abstract
A method for operating a measuring system includes: carrying out impedance measurements with at least three property measurement electrodes on a medium in a first region of a measuring tube interior over an impedance measurement period and, at the same time, signaling the impedance measurement period by a measuring signal to a flow measurement controller; determining a property of the medium from the impedance measurements using impedance tomography; generating a magnetic field in the medium in a second region of the measuring tube interior by the flow measurement controller using a magnetic field generator; carrying out voltage measurements at a sampling rate using at least two flow measurement electrodes on the medium in the second region; taking an impedance measurement duration from the measuring signal; and discarding the voltage measurements carried out during the impedance measurements; and determining a flow rate of the medium from the remaining voltage measurements.
