Manufacturer s details Name: Address: BBT Ltd. 12 M. Reja Street, PL-35-211 Rzeszów, Poland Telephone/Fax: +48 17 85 33 976 E-mail: Website: biuro@bbt-oil.pl http://www.bbt-oil.pl Application of the program Microanalyzer computer program is designed to automate of the cleanliness class analysis process. It offers also a function of automated generation of reports on the performed analyzes. That means a significant relief to the laboratory technician who can then concentrate on activities related to interpretation of results. Therefore, the overall performance of the laboratory is increased with simultaneous improvement of precision and repeatability of results. Thanks to application of fast and optimized algorithms used for recognition of microscopic images, the computer is able to perform work that earlier had to be done by a laboratory technician. The computer s advantage consists in its speed and precision of calculations. Moreover, some effects characteristic for a human are eliminated such as eye fatigue or optical illusions. Although the man can recognize pictures better, a computer is able to perform the task equally well provided it is equipped with software based on specialized algorithms. To put it simply, the analysis process consists in identification and counting followed by sorting of identified objects according to their size. Based on the generated set of data, the software assigns appropriate cleanliness class according to tables contained in ISO 4406, NAS 1638 and GOST 17216-71 industry standards. The obtained results are presented in the form of tables and summarized in the form of a report. The software is also able to classify the liquid cleanliness class level according to tables generated on the grounds of the Customer s own (company) standards. Moreover, it is possible to export analytical data to text files or in CSV format. 2
Software feature Operation Microanalyzer software developed by BBT represents an easy-to-use and fast working computer application compliant with the cleanliness class-related standards ISO 4406, NAS 1638 and GOST 17216. It makes possible to perform cleanliness class analyses of any process liquids efficiently, quickly and precisely. Picture grabbing The software allows for simple and precise import of microscopic images of test filters from external video device connected to the computer and linked optically with the microscope. Microanalyzer can cooperate with any device compatible with Microsoft Windows operating system video standards. The analysis process Thanks to up-to-date, fast and highly optimized algorithms for microscopic image recognition, the cleanliness class analysis becomes a simple and fast process. The results contain a large number of analytical data with respect to traditional methods of counting of impurity particles. Format of the analysis results Results of analyses are presented in the form of easily readable tables, separate for each applicable standards, i.e. ISO 4406, NAS 1638 and GOST 17216. Each table contains: number of particles and cleanliness class separately for each size range. Additionally, the results are presented in the form of a clear bar graph. Export of grabbed images The collected images can be easily exported to files in most commonly used graphic formats such as BMP and JPEG. The export function make possible to save selected images in the form of graphic files in batch mode. Generation of analysis reports A report on the performed cleanliness class analysis can be saved in the internal data base. The base allows for easy management and convenient printing of reports existing in the base. It is also possible to covert a selected report from the internal format to any commonly used document format with embedded graphics such as e.g. PDF or WMF/EMF. 3
The software in operation A preview of video camera image in the course of picture grabbing facilitates control on microscope picture quality and content. It is also possible to control quality and format of picture grabbed from video camera. Grabbing microscope images from a camera connected to the computer In the course of microscope image analysis process it is possible to follow identification of impurity particles. In the dialog window displaying the analysis progress, number of identified particles is displayed and updated on current basis together with the processed image number. The process of analysis of the grabbed microscope images (so-called sub-unit fields) Analysis results are presented in the form of easily readable tables and bar charts. Analysis results displayed in the form of tables and graphs for selected standards. 4
The software in operation An additional function is available allowing for manual count of particles visible on images. Manual measurement of selected impurity particles Pictures grabbed from the camera can be easily exported to graphic files and stored on a hard disk. The function allows for batch export of the pictures. Batch export of images to graphic files User-friendly report creator allows for fast and easy generation of analysis reports step-by-step. At the same time, amendments introduced to a report can be traced. Generation of reports by means of the report creator 5
