The program can be used in • Windows 98 • Windows Millenium • Windows 2000 • Windows XP • Windows NT • Windows Vista • Windows 7 • Windows 8 Peripheral information such as Ship/Plant names and comments may be added at the PC. Should a measurement contain faults, it is possible to manually correct it in the program.
3. THE MENU BAR File NEW DOCUMENT Is used if you want to input data manually from scratch. Communication is used to transfer a document from the Prisma DI-5C to PC, refer to LOAD DOCUMENT chapter 4: Searches for a Prisma DI-5C TRANSFER document already saved in PC. DOCUMENT TO PC. SAVE DOCUMENT Save your readings in folder of choice. CREATE NEW SHIP FOLDER used to create a file structure for each engine (main, gen, aux), with crankshaft and ovality measurement folders for each one.
4. TRANSFER DOCUMENT FROM PRISMA DI-5C TO PC Normally, all documents stored in the Prisma DI-5C are transferred and saved in a PC. The document number consists of 8 figures, the first two represent the document consecutive numbering followed by the 6 figures date, i.e. year, month, day (yy-mm-dd). This document number is used to locate a document in the Prisma DI-5C. An USB cable between Prisma DI-5C and PC is supplied with the instrument 1.
5. MAIN PAGE The HEAD page (F1) allows you to register Ship/Plant name, and other basic information such as engine type and number. If measuring a “Vee” engine, check the Vee engine box. Then the word “CYL” will be replaced by “WEB” in the program. You may write down additional information in the “Remarks” box at the bottom of the screen. To printout the page, go to “File – Print Document”, check the requested page(s) and press OK.
6. SINGLE PAGE The SINGLE page (F2) shows the Prisma DI-5C readings in sequential cylinder order. For Crankshaft deflection measurement the Header is Cyl 1, Cyl 2, Cyl 3 etc. (cylinder). If the “Vee engine” box on the Main page is checked, “Cyl” will be exchanged to “Web”. If the document is a cylinder liner Ovality measurement the Header will state Lev 1, Lev 2 etc, (level). The top left picture illustrates the meaning of positive and negative deflection.
7. COMPARE PAGE On the COMPARE page (F3), the left hand column contains the new (latest) document data loaded and the right side shows a previous reading from an older document, for comparison. Print, Load and Clear documents at will, as previously described.
8. DIAGRAM PAGE The DIAGRAM page (F4) produces a +/- deflection curve for each position of the crank/ cylinders, e. g. all position “A” crank readings for each cylinder, maximum 24 cylinders per document in a crankshaft measurement. If it is an Ovality measurement, 1 document per cylinder is used and the A-E positions describe the readings obtained when rotating the instrument to the desired position. The X-axle show the levels.
9. OVALITY PAGE The OVALITY page is intended for cylinder liner ovality measurements only. Page F5 will display ”OVALITY DIAGRAM”. This is automatically changed by the Prisma DI-5C when selecting ´Crankshaft measurement´ or ´Ovality measurement´ during set-up of the Prisma DI-5C. Each level is displayed for each position on the screen left side. The profile displayed on the right side shows the ovality for each level.
10. GRAPHIC COMPARE PAGE Pressing the F6 key brings up the GRAPHIC page, where up to six different document readings may be displayed and compared on-screen, to show trends and to ease decision of necessary actions. It can also be found under the ‘Windows’ menu. Print, Load and Clear documents at will, as previously described.
