1 Introduction

2.1 General

2 PC Evaluation Software

The PC Evaluation software (PCA3000) is used for archiving and evaluating data (including device audit trail data, if available). In the software, an electronic signature can be attached to the archived data.

The PCA3000 is on a CD, together with:

- PCA Communications software (PCC),

- Setup software (only for specific instruments) and

- Documentation in the form of PDF files.

PCA3000 can be used for data from different instruments.

Differences may occur between the operating manual and the individual instrument-specific functions.

2.2 Instruments with FDA compliance

The CD also contains:

- PC Security Manager software (PCS) and

- PC Audit Trail Manager software (PCAT).

For instruments with an increased security level, the software is freely available on the Internet in “read-only” mode (PCA3000 viewer), for purposes of FDA inspection and checking.

Anybody who has been authorized by the administrator is allowed to start and use PCA3000. The administrator uses the PC Security Manager software (PCS) to allocate authorizations.

PCA3000 is installed in conjunction with the installation of the PC Security Manager software (PCS). In this case, the installation will be different from the installation procedure described in Chapter 3 “Installation”.

6.1 Introduction

The following pages are intended as a guide to familiarize you with the principle of the PC Evaluation software PCA3000.

For a better understanding, the concept is explained by analogy with conventional pen recorders and paper charts containing process data.

6 Guide

6.2 Reading in data

This chapter explains how you can read in and save recorder measurement data from a CompactFlash memory card to your PC. For a faster access during a subsequent visualization, a concept was chosen that is based on an archive and an evaluation.

Accordingly, the archive represents the conventional paper chart deposit, the evaluation the rolled out paper charts.

Practical experience has shown that most users initially only wish to save (archive) their measurement data. Data are taken out of the archive and analyzed only in the event of a fault or similar event.

Read in

The recorded measurement data can be read in via the CompactFlash card or the interface.

The PCA communications software is used for reading in via the interface. (PCC).

Further important information: see “Read in data” on page 75.

In contrast to the preceding PCA version, the archives of the PCA3000 software are not a directory with several files, but a single file only. This file always carries the file extension “.177”.

Data in archive only

The data are only available in the archive. If they are selected for display, then the software will automatically accept them for evaluation.

6 Guide

6.4 Backing up data

Save data

The Save data function serves to

- copy process data from an archive (e.g. for general data backup),

- copy process data from an archive to a protected archive (e.g. for passing them on for checks) and

- copy process data from an archive and simultaneously delete them (e.g. so that the archived files do not become unnecessarily large).

Save data as

The Save data as function extends the Save data function by the possibility of protecting the records (protected archives). Protected archives differ from the other archives by:

- inhibiting the execution of signatures

- inhibiting the Save function (a fresh saving of data is prevented).

- a simplified opening of the protected data.

- protected data cannot be extended (no further read-in or appending of additional data).

The Save data as function is only available if the data are graphically displayed.

In Chapter 6.3 “Opening the archive” it has already been described how data are presented for evaluation (display). The graphical representation could look like this:

You can alter the window height by

placing the mouse pointer between the graphics and the table area and moving the mouse up or down (keep left mouse

button pressed).

The display is subdivided into

- a graphics area, in which the measured values are shown and

- a table area, which can be used to control the graphics and further functions.

The graphics display will appear faster, and will also be clearer,

if less measurement data are used within it.

The most important control element within the graphics is the mouse. It is used to perform different functions.

Left mouse button

Normally, the left mouse button will produce a zoom in the X-direction.

h Position the mouse pointer within the graphics. h Press the left mouse button and hold it down. h By dragging the mouse you can mark the time period

h Release the mouse button. The graphics are automatically zoomed to the next possible time period.

Please note that more process data may be displayed than have been selected.

The function of the left mouse button can be controlled via the toolbar of the software.

Zoom X+Y axes

Zoom Y-axis

Zoom X-axis

When using the Y-zoom, please note that the channels that have an auxiliary Y-axis (or no Y-axis) are zoomed at a fixed ratio to the main Y-axis. Consequently, the scaling range of the auxiliary Y-axes (or of the channels without Y-axes) is expanded under certain conditions.

A fixed ratio to the main Y-axis is thus ensured. The diagram curves will appear in the same relationship after the Y-zoom as before the zoom.

The options “Do not display measurement info” and “Do not draw in background” are not marked with a as a default setting, which means that these functions are active.

Do not display measurement info

If the mouse pointer is placed on a measured value within the graphics and rested there, a window with the current amplitude and time values will appear.

The window will disappear after a few seconds. If you deactivate the function ( ), the evaluation program has a reduced computing load and will thus become somewhat faster.

Do not draw in background

Standard procedure is that the picture is generated without being visible to the user and then suddenly switched into display (drawn in the background). If you select “Do not draw in background”, the graphics is displayed online on the screen. This means that you can observe how the curve profile is drawn. This view mode is somewhat faster than drawing in the background.

8 Evaluation - Graphics area

The difference between the two view modes will only become obvious if there is a vast amount of data to be processed.

Maximum number of measurements displayed per channel

You can set the number of the measurements to be displayed per channel by entering a number (from 10 to 10000) here. The higher the number, the more measurements will be shown in the graphics. The lower the number, the less measurements will be shown.

Caution: If the selected number of measurements is too small, the

graphics will be displayed faster, but you will have to partially guess the curve profile for the actual measured values.

Properties ! Display all measurements

Save diagram as bitmap

Save diagram as Jpeg

Normally, only every nth measured value is displayed (depending on the zoom factor). This also applies to the print preview (page view) and the printout. You can force the display or printout of all measurements by means of the “Printout” and “Print preview” buttons.

This function saves the current contents of the graphics area as a picture in bitmap format.

This function saves the current contents of the graphics area as a picture in JPEG format.

The table area is used to control the graphics and further functions. It is operated similar to spreadsheet programs. The area consists of several registers which can be switched into or out of display according to availability. The following is available as a maximum:

v “Columns” on page 44 The measurements of the selected report are zoomed in the diagram to the

next displayable period and are graphically presented.

If the start time of the report is not within the visible time period, for example after zooming, then “Scroll time period” is used to shift the curves so that the start time (or the next possible one) is in line with the left window border.

The entry that matches the displayed measurements is searched for in the table area and captured. The time shown at the left window border is decisive here.
