Software Applications
KIMS.net
To allow for differences between metering system design,
measurement standards and operating practices KIMS.net test forms
contain numerous options that are set during configuration and these
are simple and unambiguous.
The results of tests and calibrations can be easily reviewed and
analysed.
Although KIMS.net is designed to be a completely electronic system,
calibration certificates can be generated at any time for completed
tests. These can be printed or saved as files.
Tests can be planned using the inbuilt scheduler or carried out on an
ad-hoc basis. Past and future tests can be viewed as a plan to help
manage work load and monitor progress.
Validating flow computer calculations can be time consuming when
parameters are manually read from one computer system and typed
into a check calculation form. The likelihood of user error is high
when calculations have numerous inputs such as with AGA 8 or ISO
6976 calculations where a complete gas composition has to be
entered with full resolution.
A standard feature in the latest version of KIMS.net is the ability to
automatically capture data from the flow computer system. When
using this feature, complex calculation such as AGA 8 or ISO 6976 are
validated in seconds by simply opening the form and clicking the
calculate button.
Where a test requires repeated values, for example, the rising and
falling increments during a pressure transmitter calibration KIMS.net
can step through the process electronically capturing each recorded
value from the flow computer.
KIMS.net is fully scalable. Although there are advantages when
installing as a network solution with data securely stored on a SQL
Server and made available across an organisation all components
can, if required, be installed on a single laptop.
