HiDAT Version 1.2.0 

HiTools Version 1.2.0 

What´s new? 

The program "HiDAT - Historical Data Analysing Tool" has been created in order to 

provide Jenbacher customers with a tool for the analysis of their engine data. 

The program was set up as a multi- document program. This means that several 

output forms can be displayed simultaneously side by side. 

For the visualization of data, there are two basic types of output forms available. 

· Messages: serves the depiction of messages of the dia.ne alarm 

management. 

· Trend: serves the depiction of measuring data of the dia.ne trend 

management. 

Additionally, it is possible to perform self-defined database inquiries and to depict the 

data with the help of a SQL- output form. 

NEW! 

It is also possible to calculate the availability of an engine using the Availability 

Calculation feature.

How to adapt an Availability Report 

In some cases an adaptation of the Availability Report is necessary. 

For this it is possible to modify the downtime values in Worksheet "Data" (Rows F - I 

are unprotected.).

Value changed from Periphery to Module 

How to ... 

By changing the assignment of the downtime values the Responsibility value (Row E) 

will be adjusted automatically. 

All resulting changes of the Availability results will be made automatically! 

Import Data 

Actually, there are two possible ways of importing.: 

· Import of dia.ne files (AMM-files, HTM-files) which have been obtained via the 

dia.ne Tools or the Hermes-system. 

· Import of messages from the database of the Remote Message Control (RMC) 

Attention! 

During the importing procedure it can occur that HiDAT cannot be operated! 

Depending on the number of files to be imported and the capacity of the computer, 

the impoerting procedure can take several minutes. 

Importing of Unbound dia.ne files (AMM-files, HTM-files) 

11


12 

1. Copy dia.ne-files into a directory on your hard disk. 

Attention! In case you have the dia.ne-files in still packed form (file-ending is 

exe bzw. r0x), these files have to be unpacked at first. 

2. Open the form "Import" 

3. Chose the corresponding plant and engine number. 

Attention! In case this plant or engine number are not yet registered in HiDAT, 

this plant or engine number have to be entered at first (via the button "Edit", 

see Register new Plant/Engine). 

4. With the help of the file selection dialogue (via the button "Choose Files") the 

data which are to be imported can be selected. 

Attention! Files which do not correspond to the import file regarding their 

name, cannot be imported. 

5. Check the adjustments for the plant- and engine number again. 

6. In order to start the import procedure, click onto the button "Import". 

The end of the import procedure is signalled with a message box. 

Importing of messages from the dia.ne RMC-database (dianeControl - Database) 

1. Open the form "Import" 

2. Chose the option "dia.ne R.M.C. (dianeControl - Database)". 

3. Chose the database which has to be imported via the file selection dialogue 

(with the button "Choose Database"). 

4. In case the import of messages has to be restricted to one engine only, the 

Check - Box "Import All Plants/Engines" has to be deactivated. In this case 

chose the requested plant and engine in the form area "Plant/Engine". 

5. In order to start the import procedure, click onto the button "Import" 

The end of the importing procedure is signalled with a message box. 

Find Procedure 

With the help of the form "Find", the data of the Messages-form can be searched. 

1. Select the Messages-form you want to search.

2. Open the form "Find" (via the menu bar or the keyboard shortcut) 

3. Insert the search word in the field "Find What" 

4. Chose the searching direction in the field "Search" 

How to ... 

5. Chose the way how the search word is to be compared to the field contents 

6. In case you want to search in a special column, select the column in the 

Messages-form by clicking onto the column head. Following you have to 

activate the Check - Box "Search only selected column". 

7. Click onto the button "Find First" in order to start the search at the 

beginning of the table. 

Click onto the button "Find Next" in order to start the search at the position 

of the current message. 

In case the end of the table has been reached during the search, it is possible to go 

on searching at the beginning of the table. The same applies for the beginning of the 

table. 

Trend - Form 

In this form, all trend data are displayed graphically. 

The definition of the displayed data as well as the inquiry of the data from the 

database is performed via the Explorer. 

Attention! 

In the 100%-display (standard), all scales are set to the maximum data area. 

In the trend-form, the configuration data which are adjusted in the Explorer are 

displayed both in the top rail and in the upper form area. 

In case a trend-form with pre-set configuration adjustments is selected, all 

adjustments are transferred into the Explorer! The current output-form can be 

distinguished from the other forms by a different background color (see Options). 

13


Adjustments 

14 

· Couple points: Indicates whether the points of the measured values are to be 

connected with lines. 

Attention! 

This option is of special interest for the presentation of Short - Trends. 

· Zoom Active: Indicates whether the Zoom - function has been activated. 

· Zoom Lasso: Indicates whether the Lasso - function has been activated. 

· Zoom 100%: Serves the set-back of the Zoom-function to the 100%-display. 

· Ruler Visible: Indicates whether the Ruler has been activated. 

· Ruler Window: Indicates whether the Ruler-Window has been activated. 

Zooming in the Trend-form: 

In order to be able to inspect certain parts of the trend data more exactly, it is 

possible to zoom within the trend display. 

There are two possibilities of zooming: 

· Pulling of the curve with the help of the mouse pointer 

When pulling the mouse pointer while pressing the mouse button (left or 

right), the complete trend graphics can be stretched or compressed. Here the 

respective point is being fixed (depending on the mouse button) either upper 

left or lower right.

How to ... 

A curve-related change of scaling can be reached when moving the respective 

axis. 

· Selection of the desired area with the help of the lasso 

Pulling up of a rectangle over the desired range of area to be enlarged with 

active Check - Box "Zoom Lasso" 

The selected area is displayed over the total trend display. 

Attention! 

As soon as the trend display is in the Zoom-mode, in the frame "Zoom" the red 

character "ACTIVE" appears. 

The zooming process can be set back when pressing the button "100%". 

Creating of a context-sensitive time filter for the Trend-Form. 

With HiDAT it is possible to detect pre-event history and the post-event history of a 

certain message. 

Time periods of +/- 1 minute, +/- 15 minutes, +/- 30 minutes, +/- 1 hour, +/- 1 

day, +/- 1 week and +/- 1 month are possible. 

· Activate ruler and set the ruler to the middle of the desired data range 

· Click the right mouse button on the ruler (a context menu appears) 

· Select the requested period of time. 

-> A new Trend-Form with the selected time period is created, displaying the 

trend data. 


In order to be able to work with data of a certain plant or an engine, the plant with 

the respective engine data has to be entered in HiDAT at first. This can be performed 

in the form "Plant/Engine Data". 

Registering of a new plant: 

1. Open the form "Plant/Engine Data" (via the menu bar or the button "Edit" in 

the form "Import") 

2. Click onto the button "Add new..." in the left form area (Plant Information) 

3. Insert the plant data into the following dialogue boxes (plant number, plant 

name) 

4. After completing the entry of those data, the newly registered plant is 

displayed. Now it is possible to insert the location of the plant. 

5. Now add the respective engines to the new plant (see below). 

15


Registering of a new engine: 

16 

1. Click onto the button "Add new..." in the right area of the form "Plant/Engine 

Data" (Engine Information)." 

2. Insert the new engine number into the following dialogue box. 

3. After completing the entry, the newly registered engine is displayed in the 

table. Now it is possible to enter also the engine type. 

Attention! 

Each plant number can only be registered once via the action "Add new...". 

It is not possible to change or to delete the plant number. The data "Name" and 

"Location", however, can be altered at any time. 

Use HiDAT with shared database (network) 

HiDAT is built as an client application for the Microsoft SQL Server 7 (respectively the 

MSDE). 

So it is possible to use one database for several HiDAT - installations to work with 

the same data. 

To use one common database the database connection information (stored in an Universal 

Data Link - File) must be changed for the remote HiDAT - installations: 

1. Change to the HiDAT - program folder via "My Computer" or the explorer (e.g. 

c:\program files\hidat).

2. Open file "HiDAT.udl". 

How to ... 

3. Change server name (Section 1) from "(local)" to the computer´s name where 

the database is installed (e.g. customercomputer1). 

17


18 

4. Insert password "floater" into field Password (Section 2).

How to ... 

5. Start connection test by clicking on button "Test Connection". 

Attention! Database server (MSDE) on the remote computer must be started. 

6. Close Data Link Properties - dialogue using the OK - button.

How to adapt an Availability Report 

In some cases an adaptation of the Availability Report is necessary. 

For this it is possible to modify the downtime values in Worksheet "Data" (Rows F - I 

are unprotected.). 

Value changed from Periphery to Module 

By changing the assignment of the downtime values the Responsibility value (Row E) 

will be adjusted automatically. 

All resulting changes of the Availability results will be made automatically!

Availability Calculation - Background 


Attention! 

Beware of incorrect availability results caused by insufficient message data (gaps)! 

The availability factor is calculated as followed: 

R - M - E - O 

Availability factor = -------------------- * 100 % 

R 

R: Possible Runtime 

M: Downtime caused by the Module 

E: Downtime caused by the Periphery 

O: Downtime caused by the Operator 

N: Downtime caused by no demand 

HiDAT calculates the availability values as followed: 

· Collecting the necessary message data 

· Calculating the downtimes (Time between message "Generator Switch 

Off" (1236) and "Generator Switch On" (1235)) 

· Categorizing the downtimes ("module", "periphery", "operator" or "no 

demand") using the responsibility value of the first appearing alarm message 

· Totalizing the categorized downtimes (excluding downtime "No Demand") and 

calculating the possible runtime -> Availability Parameters 

· Calculating the availability indexes and the total availability using the formula 

shown above 

After HiDAT has calculated the availability values and has created the output form a 

report file containing all necessary data for manually calculating can be created 

(Button: Create Report). (-> Microsoft Excel Workbook) 

During the Availability Report is created, a Microsoft Excel - Macro is started. 

(HiDAT_RunBeforeSave) 

This report contains also a message summary over the specific time range. 

Description of Availability Report 

The Availability Report (AR) - Excel workbook contains 4 worksheets: 

· Summary: Contains raw results of the calculation 

· Data: Contains the dia.ne messages used for the calculation 

29


30 

· Week: Contains the data of sheet "Data" and additional messages used 

for the weekly split of the results 

· Month: Contains the data of sheet "Data" and in addition messages 

used for the monthly split of the results 

All worksheets are protected against manual manipulation except of sheet "Data", 

where rows "F", "G", "H", "I" are changeable.
