| As
the induction tool is equipped with an array of temperature
sensors placed along the assembly and one or two pressure sensors,
a software package is provided to convert the logged data into
graphical form. |
 |
| The
Visual Presentation Software (VPS) opens the .ZIP file downloaded
from a PCU, then automatically processes it using a custom DAT
file extraction program, which is written specifically to convert
PCU .DAT files to TAB delimited .TXT files. The whole process
is reduced to a couple clicks of the mouse. Flow rate is also
logged, as are the operating conditions at the PCU. |

The visual presentation software makes assessment of operations
and research work straightforward and understandable. Printout
capabilities are built-in to provide graphs for daily or monthly
display of operating information. These graphs can be printed
or directly exported to a bitmap image and sections of raw data
can be printed as needed. |
 |
| VPS
can simultaneously view all records from up to 6 individual
PCUs depending upon the speed of the user's computer. The data
can be viewed in a graphed format with the option to graph any
one datum set against any other. The raw data can also be viewed
spreadsheet style. |

| This
software was written in-house to eliminate the need to use the
often changing and usually cumbersome import routines found
in many of todays popular spreadsheet/chart applications. |
