CVE 2.8 USHERS IN IMPORTANT ADVANCES IN PROCESS VISUALIZATION
SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS
A significantly improved user experience working with large datasets is among important new features introduced with the new version 2.8 of C Visual Explorer ( CVE ) from Process Plant Computing Limited ( PPCL ). CVE is a unique process visualization tool that allows engineers to display hundreds of thousands of measurements across hundreds of variables , allowing them to interrogate historical process and laboratory data .
CVE allows users to easily explore operating windows and operating envelopes based on their domain knowledge and without the need for deep understanding of higher mathematics .
Engineers have been using the basic features of CVE for many years to work more efficiently with their plant data . It allows faster and easier management of key areas including alarm rationalization , process optimization and plant troubleshooting as well as building and evaluating real-time operating envelope models from C Process Modeller ( CPM ), PPCL ’ s online realtime process monitoring and event prediction product .
The new features introduced with CVE 2.8 represent advances in three key areas : improved user experience working with large datasets ; across the board display improvements ; and new options for alarm-based variables .
For improved working with large datasets , network versions now use a 64-bit executable , effectively allowing datasets limited only by the computer ’ s memory . Datasets in excess of 200 million values ( product of variables and time points ) have been routinely used on typical desktop machines during the development of version 2.8 .
New licencing options make CVE more easily affordable for geographically dispersed organizations .
