There are filter and display settings that you can enter in different levels (user, template and element levels). The input, application and validity of the settings differ for the two types of filters and displays.
Filter settings are available on two levels. On the template level they can be accessed by clicking the "Filter settings" button
in the template button bar or via the menu items "Edit -> Template filter settings". On the element level they are accessed within the Properties dialog box.
The set data type filters are worked off hierarchically from top (template) to bottom (element). If, for example, spectra in the template are bracketed out, no spectral data will get to the elements in a template, even if spectra were included in an element beforehand.
The following are available on the template level:
and these on the element level (it depends on element type):
Use the time filter to filter out data from certain periods of time and/or events (last x measurement values, last upload, etc.).
Data type filters filter out undesired types of data in the "ad hoc report", for example, if merely the frequency spectra for a report are of interest.
The data type filters have very extensive setting options:
Use "Spectra: Details" to filter out precisely defined measurement tasks, sensor types, measurement points or spectra results. In this way you can collect very precise information on individual points of interest for ad hoc reports. For example, you could determine just those vibration spectra of all bearings greater than 600 rpm.
Use "Time signal: Details" to filter out precisely defined measurement tasks, sensor types, measurement points or spectra results. In this way you can collect very precise information on individual points of interest for ad hoc reports. For example, you could determine just those time signals of all antifriction bearings greater than 600 rpm.
Here you can set, as required, certain antifriction bearings and vibration parameters as the filter.
Here you can filter out individual process parameters.
Set the filter for the visual inspections here. If, for example, only certain inspections are to be listed, you can filter out all other tasks of a visual inspection.
For facilities (e.g. wind power) with measurements in certain operating variables, OMNITREND allows the definition of different operating states. This filter option filters out selected operating states for the report.
The data filter can filter out a certain data range in spectra and time recordings that is of interest for the report. For example, you can use the data to display only those values in the spectra that lie within a selected frequency band. You can also elect to have only a maximum number of peak values within a spectrum or time signal displayed. To do so, select the "Max. Peak" check box and enter the desired number of peak values.
In the feature space you can define up to three trend data ranges that together form a space. The feature space filter searches for all data from the data sources for which these features hold, i.e. lie within the specified value ranges.
Use the route filter to filter out certain routes when creating a report. If one or more routes have been added, only the data of the added routes are displayed in the report. If no route was selected, the report is created through the entire database.
The machine train filter generates a report containing only the set train and/or machine types. This option is especially useful if, for example, you want to display the state of certain train and/or machine types in your machine fleet.
Use the event filter to filter out certain events when creating a report. For example, it could be of interest to determine the events of past alarms and their confirmations.
The alarm filter filters out certain alarm levels; for example, you can filter out the recorded pre-warning stages. This option is useful if, for example, you wish to have a quick overview of all devices in a given warning state.
Setting the per cent figures has the following effects:
"Minimum above an alarm threshold" marks alarms that are higher than the alarm threshold by the entered per cent, thereby highlighting which alarms are especially critical. The check box allows you to use this option as a filter and to display only especially critical alarms (check box activated).
Proximity to an alarm threshold and level rise relative to the previous value increase the volume of the output. Values shortly before attaining an alarm state or values exhibiting an unusual rise are added to the alarm list when these options are set.
Display settings are available on all three levels:
On the user level they are accessed in the menu through "Options -> Display settings"; these entries are saved in the database separately for each user.
On the template level they can be accessed by clicking the "Display settings" button
in the template button bar or, in the menu, by going to "Edit -> Template display settings" and on the element level within the Properties dialog box.
Settings entered on the element level when "Use default settings" is not checked have priority over the template and user settings and are exclusively used for generating reports. Conversely, if "Use default settings" is checked, the higher-level template or user settings are used. When the template default setting button is checked, the same applies with respect to the user settings.
The settings can be entered separately for each diagram type (spectrum, time signal, trend) and table. For the diagrams there are three areas of control:
Display
Scaling
Time filter
For the tables we have:
Display
Font/border
Time filter
HP/TP filter
The following can be defined for the diagram display:
The following can be defined for the diagram scaling:
If the option: "Use OMNITREND default" is deactivated, you can enter settings for scaling the individual diagram axes. The three axes: left Y axis, right Y axis and X axis are distinguished, corresponding to positions along the axes in the diagram.
For each axis the following can be defined:
The scaling can be carried out logarithmically or linearly by setting the individual options.
On deactivating the option: Auto, you can set the upper and lower limits and the division of the axes. The settings can be made for each axis.
The following can be defined for the diagram time filter:
The following can be defined for the table view:
The following can be defined for the table, font and border:
For the table time filter the same can be defined as for the "diagram time filter", and for the HP/TP filter the following can be defined:
