Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a magnetic-inductive flow meter. The method includes steps of generating a magnetic field in a medium during a feeding phase, wherein the feeding phase has a shot phase and a measuring phase, and measuring a coil current. The method also includes switching over from the shot phase to the measuring phase as soon as the coil current reaches a limit value, recording a time period from the beginning of the feeding phase to reaching the limit value, and determining a deviation of the time period from a target time period. The method further includes generating the magnetic field during a subsequent feeding phase, where a shot voltage of the subsequent feeding phase is adapted in dependence on the deviation in order to reduce the deviation of the time period from the target time period of the next feeding phase.
