Abstract
A system for initializing parameters of a transmitter connected to a Coriolis flowmeter. This invention applies initial drive signals to a drive circuit which causes a flow tube to vibrate. The type of the flow tube is then determined from signals received from pick-off sensors associated with the flow tube. Parameters for generation of said drive signals are then set based upon the type of said flow tube.
