SoftView® LNG Monitor Software

SoftView LNG Monitor Software is a suite of programs used to interface locally and remotely to the wide array of smart Mustang Sampling instrumentation. These programs include SoftView® Lite and SoftView® PLUS for standard data acquisition interface to the instruments and SoftView® LNG used to monitor and record LNG custody transfer events.

SoftView® LNG APPLICATION
SoftView LNG supports auto polling of the vaporizer heater controllers and associated gas chromatographs. Acquired data is optionally checked for alarm status and recorded during an LNG transfer. User adjustment of key instrument configuration parameters, e.g. set-point control of the heater and flow controller, is also supported. The end of transfer event produces a transfer ticket containing average composition and vaporizer data recorded during the transfer.
LNG transfer data recorded during the transfer can be exported for review and analysis with programs such as MS Excel.

SoftView® PLUS APPLICATION
SoftView PLUS supports demand and auto polling of smart Mustang Sampling instruments and supported gas chromatographs. Acquired data is optionally checked for alarm status and recorded in history logs for review and reporting. User adjustment of key instrument configuration parameters, e.g. set-point control of the heater and flow controller, is also supported.

  • Acquired recorded data can be exported for review and analysis with programs such as MS Excel.
  • Special features such as the calculation of methane number from the gas compositions is also supported.
