6. Survey
The Survey mode of the UltraTEV Plus² is a powerful yet easy way to collect and store data
from a range of assets. Data from TEV, Cable PD or Ultrasonic measurement modes can be
recorded and stored with corresponding metadata linking the data and its associated
context.
All data recorded on the UltraTEV Plus² takes the form of a survey in order to give the data
context and a common structure for use when analysing the data offline.
6.1 Starting a Survey
There are two ways to start a survey; either by going through the Survey display off the
home menu, or by starting a data capture from any measurement screen.
Survey Icon
Pressing the Survey icon on the Main menu will display the Survey Mode display. This
display allows users to start, stop and view the progress of a survey.
To start a survey, press ‘Start Survey’ on the display. Doing this will show two options to
select from; “Select Workflow” or “Skip Workflow”. Workflows are a pre-populated
description of the measurements to be undertaken as part of a substation survey. A
workflow consists of information regarding the assets and the specific measurements per
asset that are to be performed.
To select a workflow file, press the “Select Workflow” option and then select the file from
the list. Once selected the Survey metadata fields contained within the Workflow file will be
displayed in a series of forms with any pre-populated information.
To perform a survey without a workflow, press the “Skip Workflow” button. Similarly to the
Workflow route, a series of forms will be displayed with fields about the substation,
