to determine if changes in the values foreshadowed or indicated the process upset. The
device can then make the statistical values available to the operator directly or to alarm or
alert software.
Second, the device has internal software that can be used to baseline the process noise or
signature via a learning process. Once the learning process is completed, the device itself
can detect significant changes in the noise or variation and communicate an alarm via

measured pressure) is input to a statistical calculations module where basic high pass
filtering is performed on the pressure signal. The mean (or average) is calculated on the
unfiltered pressure signal, and the standard deviation is calculated from the filtered
pressure signal. These statistical values are available via handheld communication devices
like the Handheld Communicator, asset management software, or distributed control
systems with F
