Introduction
The Ultratrend DMS software is a data organizing software for creating and maintaining databases that apply to all the basic applications performed by the Ultraprobe models 3000, 9000 and 10000. Users can select Generic inspections, Bearings, Leaks, Valves, Steam and Electrical applications. It will store and organize records, provide reports, alarms and graphs. Users will be able to transmit data from the Ultraprobe to a computer or from a computer to the Ultraprobe via an RS232 connection or by Compact Flash Card.

Program Overview
Ultratrend DMS is similar in appearance and operation to Windows Explorer providing users with a Record Hierarchy view of the data and the ability to sort, organize and archive records. The record hierarchy is Plant---Application--Group---Location/Machine---Record. Each Record will maintain fields, which contain basic inspection data as well as a subsection for historical information. The hierarchy design of the program provides users with the capability of everexpanding data management.

HIERARCHY

Plant Application Group Location/Machine Record/Point Historical Record

(Note: To build a Route, see Getting Started Page 8) PLANT A plant is the top of the hierarchy. A user can select an unlimited number of plants. All essential data is contained within the Plant, which includes: Application, Group, Location, Numbered Location and Historical Records. In order to view any of the components, the Plant must be opened. A Plant can contain only the 6 Applications listed below and an unlimited number of Groups and Locations. To create a Plant: Go to File, select Create Plant and follow the instructions in the dialog box.

APPLICATION An Application determines the type of information to be uploaded to and downloaded from the Ultraprobe 10000. Each Application has its own unique record structure. A Plant can contain only 6 Applications. These are: 1. Generic 2. Valves 3. Bearings 4. Electrical 4

5. Steam 6. Leaks An Application can contain an unlimited number of Groups. An Application can be selected when the Create Plant window is opened. After a plant has been created new Applications may be assigned as follows: 1. Right click on the opened Plant 2. Select Create Application 3. Using the toggle switch move up or down to locate the desired Application and follow the prompts on the screen. You will be asked to: 4. Enter a Group name, select a descriptor format, date format, location and record names 5. When the location and record names have been entered, be sure to click on the Create button to continue. 6. When finished, select the finish button. GROUP A group is the specific test or project area that includes the equipment to be tested. A group contains a sequential set of records ranging from 1 to 400. These records reflect the information found in the 400 memory locations of the Ultraprobe. A Group holds an unlimited number of History Information. In the hierarchy structure, a Group can contain only one Application. When assigned to an Application, the information collected will be placed in fields that relate solely to that specific Application. A group may be re-created in any of the 6 Applications. A group may be opened when Creating a Plant or by right clicking on an opened Application. It is recommended to assign one group per plant to cut down on potential errors affecting other groups. LOCATION /MACHINE Note: For the Bearing Application only, the descriptor MACHINE is used instead of LOCATION. This is the test subject. It may contain one or more test points. The location name may be set using 8 or 13 characters depending on how the test equipment and test point identification boxes are configured. This is explained in Getting Started. When creating a database it is important that you consider a name that will be understood by all users. A location is tied to a specific Group within a specific Application. It will contain the Historical Records of each test point and must stay within the Application. RECORD/POINT Note: For the Bearing Application only, the descriptor POINT is used instead of RECORD.

The Record/Point is the specific test point that will contain all the Historical Records that are listed by date of entry. The Record/Point may be set using 8 or 3 characters depending upon the selected Location/Machine format. The Record/Point will be listed sequentially in order of a specific test routine. Therefore the first Record/Point will automatically be assigned 001, the next 002 up to 400 (to cover up to 400 records). When data is entered into the Record/Point, a Historical Record will be created. After it is created (either by downloading data from the Ultraprobe 10,000 or 9000 or manually entered) the Historical Record will be listed under each Record/Point as a date. HISTORICAL RECORD A Historical Record contains data Fields associated with a specific Application. Each time an inspection is performed, the new data will be stored in the Historical Record Fields associated with the time and date in which the inspection data was collected. The first entry is defaulted by the program as the baseline record. This may be changed: see Setting a Baseline. The Historical Record contains data Fields that are downloaded from the Ultraprobe and uploaded to the Ultraprobe. You may create an unlimited number of Historical Records for each Record/Point. The data can be automatically entered into the Historical Record by downloading the information from the Ultraprobe. An alternative method is to manually create a Historical Record that will be uploaded to the Ultraprobe. Create An Historical Record To enter information into a Record/Point manually, an Historical Record must be created. Right click on the Record/Point to be used and select Create Historical Record. A unique time and date will be displayed and the data Fields will open for entry. The date and other data can be manually entered or changed here before uploading the data to the Ultraprobe. A Historical Record contains all the inspection data unique to a selected Application. When opened the tabs on the top of the right screen are used to view data, create an on-screen historical spread sheet, produce trend charts, view images, export reports and create alarm groups. Fields can only be viewed individually, one date entry at a time. History Info provides a sequential table view of the collected historical data. Each column in the History Info table can be customized to reflect the specific data Fields 6

associated with each specific Application. Once the columns are set up, the data will be automatically transferred from the Fields data to related columns in the History Info where it will be viewed sequentially by date. Once set in the History Info Table, the data can be viewed in the Chart tab section as a Trend Chart. Information cannot be placed into a record field unless it is downloaded from the Ultraprobe or manually entered by opening Create Historical Record. 1. To open Create Historical Record 2. Right click on the Record/Point (01 to 400) you wish to use and select Create Historical Record.

Move a Record After an Application is set and the data is entered into a Record/Point there may be occasions when the sequential order must be changed. A Record/Point may be out of sequence or in the wrong position. To change the order click on the Record/Point you wish to move: 1. Drag it to the new location. 2. A dialog box will open and ask, Move the selected record and insert after the drop location? 3. If this is correct select OK. 4. If it is not what you wish to do select Cancel. 5. Once selected all the values located below the point of the drop location will be automatically updated in sequential order.

Delete a Record To delete a record 1. Select the record you wish to delete 2. Right click the mouse and select Delete Adding a Record To add a record 1. Right click on the desired LOCATION (MACHINE) 2. Select Create Record/point Print a Group To Print a group 1. Create a Historical Record for each test point (the data does not have to be entered at this juncture if no data is available) 2. Select/Highlight the Group name 3. Under File, select Print Group

To add a Group 1. Select the Application 2. Right click and select Create Group To add a Location/Machine (in Bearing: Record/Point) 1. Select the appropriate Group 2. Right click and select Create Location/Machine (For Bearing: Record/Point)

Data Base Manager Data Base Manager is used for 5 actions: Split Group: Combine Groups Split Plant Combine Plants Move Group To use Database Manager: 1. Close the Plant you will use for the actions described above 2. Open File 3. Select Database Manager 4. Locate the Plant folder and open 5. Select the plant Follow the directions step by step in the Data Base Manager wizard. Helpful Hint: Unless a specific file has been saved to a specific location, the Ultratrend files will be saved as a default to your main hard drive, Program Files, Ultratrend DMS folder, DMS Plants folder. If you have already created a file, you may move it to a new folder using Database Manager. GETTING STARTED To start, you must open a Plant. To do this go to File, Select Create Plant and follow the instructions in the wizard box.

Setting Alarm Levels To set an alarm level: 1. Open a Historical Record (usually the first in the group). 2. You have two choices: Update Alarm Levels or Update Alarm Levels using delta. The delta level will automatically display an alarm in the Alarm status box when any dB value collected by the Ultraprobe and entered in the Historical Record exceeds the baseline reading by the set delta dB level. a. If a definite high and/or low alarm level is to be used, first enter the level in the appropriate box (High or Low or both) and then click on the box that says Update Alarm Levels. b. If a delta value is to be used enter the value in the Delta value box and then click on the box that says Update Alarm Levels using delta. This selection will automatically enter the dB value you selected as the Low level and will double the baseline delta value as the High level.

Creating an Alarm Group To create an Alarm Group, select a Group from the tree by clicking on it. Two boxes will open under Alarm Group Options: Create Alarm Group using High Levels and Create Alarm Group. The High Alarm Group will enter only those historical records under the selected Group in the tree that are at or exceed your preset high alarm levels. The Alarm Group will select historical records that exceed both high and low alarm levels. Click on your selection and the group with all entries will be set in the tree on the left of the screen. Once the Alarm Group has been set the data can then be printed to be used as a work order for corrective action or uploaded to the Ultraprobe for additional testing after set actions have been performed. When the new readings are downloaded, those historical records that have been brought down below the alarm levels can then be cleared from the Alarm Group by selecting Copy Alarm Group Back to Original.
