Process Trending Software

Designed to be used in conjunction with any of the company's on-line NIR systems, GaugeView process trending software automatically captures and plots measurement data for process analysis and gauge calibration. This Windows package features graphical displays designed to make trend-plotting, calibration setup and checking simpler, quicker and more reliable.

For analysis of process trends, the software records process data, displaying a graphical plot in real time and storing it for historical analysis. The graphical display makes it easier to identify process characteristics, such as cyclic variations or the drift of parameters over time, that can otherwise remain hidden in digital data. Events can be marked on the trend display and labeled, and data and complete graphical displays can be exported to other packages for further analysis or reporting.

The graphical display identifies rogue measurements and allows them to be selectively ignored from calculations. The software also automatically checks the statistical significance of a new calibration. Additional features include a built-in diagnostic function that monitors the gauge for faults such as lamp or motor failure.
