Data Capture Functions
The [Meter Diagnostic] screen captures data in .csv files and the [Report Generator] displays
them. The saved .csv files can be easily imported for later review and analysis. At the bottom
of the capture report is a useful summary statement providing Min, Max, Average, Alarm
Limits and # of Alarms, for each of the applicable data columns.
To capture and record diagnostic data:
1. In the [Directory] field, type in the desired drive directory folder. Si-Ware will create the
selected folder if it does not exist. If no directory path is entered in this location, Si-Ware
will save the capture file into the same directory where the Si-Ware program resides.
2. The capture function automatically assigns a unique file name to the data, which includes
the Flowmeter Site Name, user defined Location Name, Date and Time. If a different
name is preferred, then simply overwrite the [File Name] field with the desired name.
3. Under the [Time Interval] choice box, select a preset time period over which the data is to
be collected, or select [Unlimited].The [Unlimited] function continues to run until stopped.
4. Position the cursor over the [Start] button and click the left mouse button. Si-Ware will
begin capturing the diagnostic data and store it within the assigned directory using the
selected file name.
Note
Clicking the [End] or [Stop] button at any time will terminate the data capture process and
close the ".csv" file with the data previously collected.
5. After the data capture process is complete, the data can be displayed by clicking the
[Report Screen] button. The ".csv" file generated by Si-Ware can be viewed in MS Excel,
as shown in the example below.
Note
Si-Ware will continue to display and update the trend line and diagnostic data even after
the data capture process is terminated.
