1) Display and Manipulate Index
2) Display contents of swingo levels file
3) Display Sample times file
4) List Sample Analysis data in month file
5) Plot analysed sample parameters 6) Plot Samples/Flow/Rainfall
7) Plot a Pic File on external plotter 8) Turn on/off grids on screen plots 2) Display contents of swingo levels file
- Displays the swingmeter readings sent by a special CONQUEST
program, either in a list or a plot.
- Not terribly useful if you don’t record swingmeter readings. 3) Display Sample times file
- Another specialist routine for displaying sampler times recorded by Conquest.
4) List Sample Analysis Data in Month File
- The results from sample analysis are stored chronologically in files, one for each month.
- The files are labelled ’SAMyymmm.VAL’ where yy is the year and
mmm are three letters for the month (eg SAM89JUN.VAL)
- The routine allows the selection of one month file, which it will then list the results from.
5) Plot analysed sample parameters
- Allows choice of start and end times ( one can use an event),
and then plots out the chosen parameters (eg SS or COD etc).
6) Plot Samples/Flow/Rainfall
- A general routine which allows plotting of just about any data stored.
Flow In
Overflow (Spill flow)
Continuation Flow Rainfall .Velocity Depth Sample value GSM values
Dry Weather inflow Dry Weather outflow
- If one chooses two graphs but no data is available for one,
only one will be plotted.
- The shape of the spill flow can be superimposed on sample results, scaled so the peak reaches the top of the graph. - One can smooth the flows by averaging over more than one
point. If one chooses to average over N points, each point plotted will be the mean of the N points nearest in time to the point in the database.
7) Plot a Pic File on external plotter
- Displays the plotter data files in \PICFILES and allows a
choice which it sends to the HP7475 plotter.
( Note the Baud Rate settings at the back of the plotter should be set to 000100111 )
8) Turn on/off grids on screen plots
- Allows one to put grids on the screen plots (not on paper plots) for easier examination of results graphs.
B3 Data Entry
Function two in the DATAPROG program allows the incorporation of flow data, sampler results and so on into the database. They can then be plotted and analysed with the other routines.
The options are :
1) Display and Manipulate Index 2) Read in raw data from Conquest
3) Convert raw swingo data into individual storm files 4) Add raw sampler times to files
5) Incorporate data files from Monitors (via SSAS)
6) Incorporate GSM object data files
7) Read in Sample Values from YWA file 2) Read in raw data from Conquest
- This reads the swingo data and sample trigger times from the CONQUEST computer. They are sent by the FORTH program which monitors the swingos and triggers the samplers and GSMs.
3) Convert raw swingo data into individual storm files - Decodes the swingo data read from CONQUEST
4) Add raw sampler times to files
- Decodes the sample times read from CONQUEST
5) Incorporate data files from Monitors (via SSAS)
- A much more useful routine allowing one to get at the data read by flow monitors.
- The procedure for getting the data is as follows;
a) Collect data from the flow monitor and enter into SSAS package.
b) Use SSAS to decode and choose interesting events.
c) Use the ’Data Transfer1 function in the Final Analysis menu of SSAS to create files of Flow,Depth or Velocity, one per monitor for each event. (The filename must have ’F ’j'D’ or
’V ’ appended as appropriate, eg ’datafile.V’). d) Select this function in DATAPROG
e) Choose what type of data you have selected (InFlow,.Spill Flow, Foul Flow,Depth,Velocity, Dry Weather Inflow or Dry Weather Foul Flow)
f) The program should list the files available, hopefully
including the one you just generated with SSAS. Choose the
6) Incorporate GSM object data files ( Not yet implemented )
- GSM results are entered by editing the file ’GSMDATA.TXT1 in directory ’\MONDATA’.
This contains one line per data point in the following format; ’SSSSS dd-mon-yy hh:mm XX Y Y ’
where SSSSS = ’INLET1 or ’SPILL*
dd-mon-yy is the date eg 17-Jun-90
hh:mm is the time eg 15:24
XX is the minimum objects/minute
YY is the maximum objects/minute
So a typical line might be : INLET 30-Jun-89 23:49 55 60
- All the inlet results for a given storm or event should be written chronologically, followed by all the spill results.
(Followed in turn by all the inlet results for the next event,
then its spill events and so on).
7) Read in Sample Values from YWA file
- The sample data is first put into files with one line per sample, all the inlet samples preceding the spill ones. Each line contains the sample origin (INLET or SPILL) ,the date (in
form dd.mm.yy), the BOD,COD,pH,SS,Ash,Ammonia & Conductivity in
that order. For example:
’INLET 8.11.89 1037 80 312 7.4 344 198 3.16 560*
( Sample Date Time BOD COD pH SS ash amm cond )
mg/1 mg/1 mg/1 mg/1 mg/1 uS/cm
This was the format of the files produced by Yorkshire Water Authority
- All the inlet results for a given storm or event should be written chronologically, followed by all the spill results.
