  1. Get the current time
  2. Get the number of flows
  3. Wait 2 minutesX minutes, for example 2 or 60
  4. Get the current time
  5. Get the number of flows
  6. Do some math, subtract second flow number from first flow number, that is the number of flows for 2 X minutes, divide by 120 X * 60 (so the number of seconds) and you have the number per second.  Doing this over more time will give you a better idea of the overall number, it is suggested that you wait much more than 2 minutes

Figure Our clock difference was almost exactly 2 minutes, so we will use that number in the example for our calculations.

To figure out flows / 2 min  or flows / second:
