Given the variety of opinions about the wisdom and feasability of totalizing an analog flow signal I ran a test by totalizing both the analog flow rate signal and a pulse output from a magnetic flow meter in a standalone recorder.

For those devices, the result had a remarkably small error.

If you're interested in the details, the write-up is on the company blog:
