SKF @ptitude Analyst HMI Software User Manual (rev B)

Introduction

SKF @ptitude Analyst HMI (Human Machine Interface) graphically depicts stored data in relation to the actual physical geometry of what is being studied. HMI is used as a "Human Machine Interface", where it depicts a picture of a machine or a machine train, and superimposes measurement points on top of the picture.

A very simple status overview is created of what is being monitored, which is particularly attractive to an "Operator Display".  HMI utilizes a number of standard picture formats, so that the exact graphical representations can be created by anyone with a paint or CAD software program.

It is also possible to use pictures created with a camera, permitting a "real live" view of the machine, machine sets, or an entire plant view. HMI poses no limitations on what is being depicted.

HMI consists of a Viewer and a Configurator, which are responsible for, respectively, viewing and configuring the machine graphics. Except for a paint or CAD program to create the pictures, no other software is required to build the Human Machine Interface.

Though HMI is intended for use with a database that is continuously updated with on-line data acquisition systems, it is also capable of showing data collected with handheld devices.

This manual should be used as a guide when configuring and utilizing this software component.
