Recording Duration: The length of time that is used to write the real-time data into

the data file.

Time Span: curves time span the chart can show.

Operations:

1. After entering a Real-Time Screen from the Main Screen and before clicking

the “Start Recording”, you should first select the curve to be shown in the top

section of a chart, click the right button of the mouse in the chart area of the Chart

2 or Chart 3. A “Curves Selection” menu will pop up. Click the “Curves

Selection” Menu to select a parameter in the list box or select a blank option

(refer to the Chart 4 and the Chart 5). Each chart has five curves for selection.

Suppose the shown curve is the curve you previously selected, there is no need to

perform this operation.

17

2. Click the “Setup” to enter the Parameters Setup Screen. If not necessary, you

can neglect this operation.

3. Click ten red box areas in the Chart 6, i.e. the nearby regions of each Y axis. You

can modify max. value and min. value of the Y axis.

4. Click the “Start Recording”.

5. Click a point in the chart area (refer to the Chart 7’s red box area). The chart

legend will show a parameter of a time that is to be clicked for point correspondence.

6. If not required to show a value of a point, use the mouse to click the area outside

the chart (refer to the Chart 8’s red box area).

7. Add a annotation: Click the right button of the mouse in the chart area and select

the “Add Annotation” (refer to the Chart 9 and the Chart 10). After adding a

annotation. you can double click the annotation to edit a text. After that, you can use

the mouse to click the non-text area to end the text input.

8. Move a annotation: You can use the mouse to click the marker and drag it to any

place you want.

9. Delete a annotation: You can use the left button of the mouse to select the

annotation and then click the right button to pop up a menu. Select the “Delete

annotation” to delete the annotation (refer to the Chart 11).

10. Modify a curve value: You can first click the left button of the mouse to select a

parameter in the chart legend. Suppose you want to modify the density curve, click

18
SERVAview for Cementing

the red box area of the Chart 12 to enter the Density Curve Screen as shown in the

Chart 13. Press the left button of the mouse and drag it to draw a curve in the chart

area. This curve drawn by the mouse is the curve of the selected and modified

parameter (refer to the Chart 14). If you want to resume the previous curve and show

multiple curves in the screen, you can click the blank area outside the chart area (refer

to the Chart 15). After modifying the curve value, the program will automatically

generate a backup data file to save the modified job data. This data file will have a

suffix “-c” added to the currently-opened data file. For example, if the current file is

xxx.svd, the modified job file that is saved will be xxx-c.svd, if the current file is xxx.t4a,

the modified job file that is saved will be xxx-c.t4a. The file storage directory is in the

data file folder of the program installation directory. If necessary, you can get this

modified file by opening the file with suffix “-c” in curve or data report.

11. Zoom in a curve: When the chart curve display is under the status of all curves,

you can click the right button of the mouse in the chart area. A menu “Curves Zoom

In” appears (refer to the Chart 16). Click this menu and press the mouse to select a

section of the curve in the chart area. This grey curve section will occupy the entire

chart area (refer to the Chart 17). To exit this status, you can use the right button of

Parameters Setting Window

Menus functions:

Calculated parameters: the custom parameter name

Expression: expression used the acquired parameter value as variables, the format like

as ch1+ch1,ch3*ch4. ch1:density, ch2: cement val, ch3:rate-1, ch4: rate-2,

Unit: the unit should accord with the expression.

Conversion expression: the expression when the parameters value converted from

original unit to current unit, X means the parameters value scaled in the original unit.

User input unit: when the unit can’ the get from the supplied units, then customer

can input the unit in the ‘user input unit’ textbox as the parameters current unit, at

this time, you should input the right conversion express in the conversion expression

31
SERVAview for Cementing

textbox with x , x means the parameter value scaled in the original unit. for example,

for density, the original unit is PPG, if the current unit is g/cc, then the conversion

expression should be x*0.11982643.

Averaging Number: the number is bigger, the curve will be more smooth.

Job marker design: for each job marker number, customer can change the job marker

description or use the default description.

Factor for adjusting slurry total displacement: the factor is used to calibrate a new

value for the displacement stage slurry total parameter.

Job marker for starting displacement: In the job marker design page, there is a job

marker the according description is ‘start displacement’, please input this job

marker number.

Slurry total channel: tell which parameter is slurry total.

Data Report Window

Data in data report can be output to PDF file or EXCEL file.

EXCEL Report Window

(Chart 1)

33
SERVAview for Cementing

(Chart2)

In the EXCEL Report Setting window(chart1), you can select which parameters will be

shown in the excel report, and in order to calculate some values for the pumping

report(chart2) of the excel report, you must indicate density, rate, slurry

total ,pressure1, pressure2 parameters, the rate parameter should be a proper

parameter, for example, when the program just acquire rate1 and rate2 values, in the

pumping report the rate parameter should be a parameter whose value is the sum of

rate1 and rate2, so you can create a new parameter named ‘total rate’(please refer

to parameters setting chapter)and then indicate the total rate as the rate parameter

for the pumping report calculation.

When you generate a BMP or EMF file in the curve report, then the EXCEL file will

34
SERVAview for Cementing

insert a EMF file or BMP file into a sheet(chart2). So before get a EXCEL file, you

should first enter the curve report window to get a EMF file or BMP file, or else the

EXCEL file will not show the graphs of the curves. if you need more than one graph

displaying the EXCEL file, you have to insert other graphs into the EXCEL file manually.
