CVE 2.8 USHERS IN IMPORTANT ADVANCES IN PROCESS VISUALIZATION
SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS
A significantly improved user experience working with large datasets is among important new features introduced with the new version 2.8 of C Visual Explorer( CVE) from Process Plant Computing Limited( PPCL). CVE is a unique process visualization tool that allows engineers to display hundreds of thousands of measurements across hundreds of variables, allowing them to interrogate historical process and laboratory data.
CVE allows users to easily explore operating windows and operating envelopes based on their domain knowledge and without the need for deep understanding of higher mathematics.
Engineers have been using the basic features of CVE for many years to work more efficiently with their plant data. It allows faster and easier management of key areas including alarm rationalization, process optimization and plant troubleshooting as well as building and evaluating real-time operating envelope models from C Process Modeller( CPM), PPCL’ s online realtime process monitoring and event prediction product.
The new features introduced with CVE 2.8 represent advances in three key areas: improved user experience working with large datasets; across the board display improvements; and new options for alarm-based variables.
For improved working with large datasets, network versions now use a 64-bit executable, effectively allowing datasets limited only by the computer’ s memory. Datasets in excess of 200 million values( product of variables and time points) have been routinely used on typical desktop machines during the development of version 2.8.
New licencing options make CVE more easily affordable for geographically dispersed organizations.
