1. Introduction
This document describes the functionality available for HMI software when Viewer and User login are utilized.
All operation described are more detailed explained on the HMI user manual.
USER level give access to all required setting that make the user able to work, maintain, and update the configurations
of the system.

2. VIEWER level description

HMI SW for viewer level login is always supplied free of password. In any case password can be decided and applied
from the user if required.
Here below is showed the HMI main page

The operator as VIEWER have the possibility to:

View results
Change the well profile in use in case of multiple well application (GOSP)
Retrieve/copy/mange the database containing the processed data/results
Prepare a well test report
View and manage historical results
Change the unit in use for presentation ad for report.

2.1. WELL PROFILE manager menu

From this menu the operator can select

which is the well profile to be used for the
calculation. Each profile contain all the
information, fluid properties and PVT
parameter which can be different from well
to well. This future is used in case of
application of the MPFM on a GOSP where
the same meter can be used for test
different wells.

2.2. DATA BASE manager menu

Here is reported a snapshot of the DATABASEmenu from where is possible to access on the Database management
and report preparation.

2.2.1. DATA BASE files manager

Here is reported a snapshot of the window from

where is possible to view transfer, convert delete
file from the Flow computer and from the HMI
folders. This menu allow the operator to use the
results database and to maintain the memory of
the Flow Computer free. The database can also be
used afterward with the HMI offline in the office if
is required to review data or convert data to excel
format.

2.2.2. REPORT menu

Here to the side is reported the Report menu

page from where is possible to generate and
prepare a well test report by using the
historical data copied from the Flow Computer
previously. Report can be saved as txt file and
also as excel file. On both version the results
are reported as average value for the selected
time period and also as table minute by
minute.

3. USER level description

HMI SW for USER level login is normally supplied protected by default password (panini) or free of password. In any
case password can be changed and applied from the user if required.
Here below is showed the HMI main page

The operator as USER in addition to the already exposed functionality have the possibility to operate the following
operation/activities:

Enter on the alarms menu

Enter on the WELL FILE menu for manage the well configuration files
Enter on the Flow Computer menu for:
o Set data and time
o Reset the accumulator
o Verify memory availability
o Verify the SW version of the SW running on the Flow Computer
o Change the modbus communication configurations
o Change the unit on use on the local display of the control panel
Enter on the INPUT PARAMETR MENU for:
o Load and manage parameter files of the Flow Computer (take backup of the configuration of the
Flow Computer calculation setting)

Enter on the TRASMITTER menu for change/verify the configuration of the analogue input of the Flow
Computer.
Enter on the FLUID PROPERTIES menu for change/verify the fluid properties like:
o Oil density and related gradients
o Water density and related gradients
o Oil permittivity and related gradients
o Water conductivity
o Gas specific gravity
Enter on the PVT PROPERTIES menu for change/verify the fluid properties like:
o Oil shrinkage factor and related gradients
o Gas compressibility factor and related gradients
o Gas in solution and related gradients
o Reference pressure and temperature for STD condition
Enter on the FEB (Field Electronic Board) CERTIFICATE menu for load/verify and change the calibration
parameters of the FEB in case of unit replacement
Enter on the SENSOR CERTIFICATE menu for load/verify and change the calibration parameters of the sensor
if required
Enter on the MECHANICAL DIMENSION menu for change and verify the mechanical dimension of the sensor if
required
Enter on the METER FACTOR menu for change and verify the field actor if required

3.1. WELL FILE manager menu

From this menu is possible to

manage, copy, delete, transfer
the well files which contains
the fluid and PVT properties of
each well. This menu is
specially used in case of
multiple well application or in
case is required to upload on
the Flow Computer a well files
preventively prepared in the
office.

3.2. FLOW COMPUTER SETUP menu

This menu allow the

access to other sub
menu, plus show the
SW version in use on
the Flow computer and
the free memory status
of the Flow computer.
It is possible also from
this menu to reset the
accumulators of oil,
water, gas flow rate.

3.2.1. MODBUS menu

Operator from this menu can

change and configure all necessary
settings for modbus
communication with a DCS or
SCADA system. Units for modbus
can also be changed
independently from presentation
and report units.

3.2.2. LOCAL DISPLAY UNITS menu

One more set of units is available for the local

LCD display installed on the front of the control
panel. Form this menu the setting can be
changed.

3.3. PARAMETR FILE EDITOR menu

This functionality has been made to allow the operator to

manage the parameter file which contains the entire
configuration of the Flow Computer.
Those file are also accessible as also the main calculation
executable files from a back door command ftp:// which
is normally used to take back up of the configuration.

As the previous menu also this give the full control to the
operator to change and verify all the PVT properties involved
on the STD flow rate calculation.

3.7. FEB Certificate menu

This menu give access to the

calibration parameters and
setting of the FEB (Field
Electronic Board) installed on
the sensor. Those parameters
can be change manually one by
one or it can be loaded from
the calibration file supplied
with the unit. Normally this
activity is required only during
commissioning or after
replacement of the unit with a
new one.

From this menu is possible to change the mechanical

dimensions of the venturi and electrode section throat.
Those parameters are normally set during commissioning
only.
