Point Tuning OSI Software, Inc.
Interface dependant Simple change test Exception Compression Archive dependant dual slope test for accuracy OSI Software, Inc.
excmin = 0 (default) excmax = 600 (default) excdev = 0 (default was 1.0) Exception Compression Deviation of zero Does a lot! OSI Software, Inc.
Exception compmin = 0 (default) compmax = 28800 (default) compdev = ? (default 2.0) Compression OSI Software, Inc.
Start with all points compdev = 0.5%span or 0.25% span • Add exceptions for specific groups of points to refine first guess OSI Software, Inc.
Temperatures • Set for engineering units 1degf / 0.5degc • Or appropriate for process (larger dev for furnaces & high temperature processes) • Power • Set for 0.1% span • Low noise measurements OSI Software, Inc.
Yield Measurements • Custom tune yield calculations appropriate to production reporting requirements OSI Software, Inc.
compdev / compdevp • PI – SMT tool shows both attributes by default • Compdevp takes precedent over engineering deviations! • When both columns are shown in SMT then only the compdevp contents matters. OSI Software, Inc.
A blank value of compdevp causes the default compdevp to be applied regardless of compdev value. • Remove the compdevp column to cause the compdev attribute to be applied OSI Software, Inc.
%Span, span defaults to 100! • Archiving & compressing = 1 • Step set according to measurement OSI Software, Inc.
API interface Use bufserv Start interface with /stopstat=shutdown Set shutdown attribute Shutdown=0 PI Archive OSI Software, Inc.
pH example • Instrument +/- xx.xx calibration • No compression = 3500 values / day • Comdev=0.01 for • 80 to 140 values / day OSI Software, Inc.
