Abstract
A magnetic flowmeter for measuring flow of a process fluid includes a coil configured to apply a magnetic field to the process fluid. Electrodes are arranged to sense a fluid voltage signal related to the applied magnetic field and fluid flow. An analog to digital converter provides a digital output comprising a plurality of digital samples related to the sensed fluid voltage signal. Computation circuitry receives the digitized samples and responsively provides an output related to flow.
