Working With The Sensor-Array Display - Argus TubeSpec User Manual

historical data in all three of the chart-control areas: chart-plotting, sensor-array display, and/or
chart-legend data.
Time or Depth is displayed at chart-plotting-area bottom depending on the user's selection described in
Setting the Chart Plotting-area Properties.
3. Observe the sensor-array display and/or chart-legend data as it relates to the [historical-data] posi-
tion of the cursor-vertical-line time or depth data.
In the screenshot above, the user has activated the chart cursor at a depth of -2415 feet, which corre-
sponds to 4:21:15 PM on 11/13/2009. The values displayed on the sensor-array display and the chart-
legend display correspond to the values recorded by the TubeSpec system at the noted time and depth.
The cursor remains active until the chart is clicked again or until the cursor is moved away from the chart-
plotting area.

Working with the Sensor-array Display

Located in the upper right-hand corner of the TubeSpec chart control, the sensor-array display is used
primarily to provide the current average diameter and the measured minimum wall thicknesses as
reported by all twelve of the sensors on the TubeSpec measuring head (see The TubeSpec Measuring
Head for additional information).
The minimum numeric value of all reported sensor measurements is highlighted in bold. If a seam
weld can be located by the TubeSpec, its numeric location (corresponding to the number on the mea-
suring head) is displayed graphically.
For seam location to be constant, the TubeSpec measuring head must continually be mounted in the same
orientation (piston side toward the injector).
In the example above, sensor number four (4) is reporting the minimum wall-thickness value (0.129
in); sensor number three (3) is identified as the seam-weld location in the tubing.
In addition to reporting sensor measurements, the sensor-array display area is used toggle sensors on
and off, to set the displayed units of measurement for wall thickness, and to set sensor precision in the
TubeSpec system.
