Wizards
Wizards within the software
guide you step-by-step through the most important functions. Wizards not
only make the software easier to use, but can cut down on overall training
time.

Analysis
Functions
For
each thermocouple the following is calculated:
- Max/Min
shows the maximum, mean, and minimum temperatures at the precise time
they were reached. The standard deviation and the deviation from set
temperature are also shown.
- Time at Temperature
shows the time spent above pre-determined temperature thresholds.
- Rise / Fall:
This analysis mode calculates the rates of heating and cooling for each
probe over user-defined temperature ranges, and the time the temperature
is within each range.
- Slope calculates
the maximum rate of heating and cooling for each probe, the times at
which these occurred, and the average rate of change of temperature
for each probe.
- Peak Difference
identifies the two probes that recorded temperatures with the biggest
difference within the profile. It can therefore be used to identify
where the worst imbalances of heating are occurring on the product.
- View Data
shows the raw temperature and time data for each thermocouple throughout
the run
- Area Under Curve calculates the area under the curve for each thermocouple, giving the result in ºC hours.

Alarms
With Insight
it is now possible to set alarms to highlight when a process has gone
out of tolerance. For example, if the temperature of a product should
not exceed 500°C during a heat treatment process, it is now possible
to set an alarm to activate when this temperature is exceeded.

When
an alarm has been triggered there is a tab at the bottom of the page that
will show you exactly which conditions triggered the alarm. |

Process
Files
A Process
File is simply a template that can be applied to a file either in real-time,
or retrospectively. The Process File contains details of the furnace (zone
lengths, overall length, etc.), together with details of the 'recipe'
(which furnace is to be used, the line speed, the set temperatures in
the zones, etc.), plus details of the product (name, where the thermocouples
are placed, etc.).
