INTRODUCTION A Spectrum Systems Data Acquisition and Handling System with SpectraView® Prism consists of four major subsystems. SpectraPak®-E Data Acquisition Controller SpectraView® Prism Server SQL Database SpectraView® Prism Client SPECTRAPAK®-E Spectrum Systems SpectraPak®-E is a rack-mount data acquisition controller capable of handling analog and digital inputs as well as generating digital outputs. Two single-board embedded controllers allow the SpectraPak®-E to process 20 digital inputs, 20 digital outputs, 22 analog inputs as well as communicate to any Modbus capable device via Modbus/TCP. Each controller incorporates an Ethernet port for and SpectraView® Prism Server and Modbus connectivity. Configuration can be performed via the RS-232 or Ethernet port. Each onboard controller runs non-site specific firmware storing the value of each digital input/output, analog output, and Modbus value every 10-seconds for approximately 11 days. Standalone digital output sequencing provides for autonomous control of scheduled QA tasks, such as daily calibrations. Storage and sequencing allows each SpectraPak®-E controller to continue to operate if SpectraView® Prism Server communications are interrupted and provide a mechanism for data syncing when communications are restored. SPECTRAVIEW® PRISM SERVER SpectraView® Prism Server consists of the following Microsoft Windows Services running on a 64-bit computer with a Windows Server 20XX Operating System and Microsoft SQL Server 20XX. Data Collection Services - responsible for communication between the PRISM server appliance and SpectraPak®-E appliances, in addition to other compatible data servers. Data is stored in 10second SQL database tables for one year, or as configured. Database Update Service - responsible for generating and storing one minute data averages for both raw and calculated values in SQL database tables. One minute averages are the basis for all qualified data stored in the database. Qualifier Service – qualifies data based on the one minute data stored and calculates one minute or higher time based averages used for compliance and reporting. The qualifier service also provides for ECMPS data used for electronic data reporting required by the EPA. Tag Service – Provides data to the SpectraView® Prism Client for display. Alarm Service – Provides for generation and clearing of alarms and messaging. Page | 1-6 SpectraView® Prism User Manual SQL DATABASE The SQL Database contains all data; 10-second raw data, one minute averages, and long term averages used for reporting. All data, except 10-second data, is stored indefinitely as long as storage space is available. While the database typically resides on the SpectraView® Prism Server, it can be located remotely, provided network access is adequate. SPECTRAVIEW® PRISM CLIENT The SpectraView® Prism Client provides an end-user interface to the system and can be installed on any 64-bit version of Windows 7, or later, operating system with network access to the server. Roles, rights granted, views, and various services available are defined by login. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS SPECTRAPAK-E TCP/IP Telnet MODBUS SpectraView Prism Server TCP/IP Telnet (Putty) Remote Desktop Modbus OPC (future) WCF SQL Native Protocols – TCP/IP SpectraView Prism Client TCP/IP WCF ACCESS CONFIGURATION Connecting to a SpectraView® Prism Server via the SpectraView® Prism Client has several requirements. The Client, when launched, attempts to communicate with the SQL database defined in the .SVIEW XML session file. Provided access is granted, the client tool will receive information necessary to communicate with the Windows Services running on the SpectraView® Prism Server. Once this information has been received, the Client tool will attempt a connection to the SpectraView® Prism Server. This initial handshake between the SpectraView® Prism Client, Server, and SQL Database will determine which role has been assigned and which views to update. Page | 1-7 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Chapter 2 - INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL PROCEDURE The SpectraView® Prism Client application is installed using a Microsoft Installer (MSI) file provided by Spectrum Systems, Inc. or your Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) Administrator.

Page | 8-2 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Chapter 9 - I/O POINTS TAB OVERVIEW The I/O Points Tab allows the end-user to observe the data from the system Sources, to include data from the SpectraPak®-E and Modbus devices, etc., as seen in FIGURE 9-1. The right side of the I/O Points Tab contains all of the Sources in the system. By selecting one of these sources, the end-user can view all of the I/O points associated with that source. Figure 9-1 I/O Points Tab There are three sub-tabs contained in the I/O Points Tab. They are the Raw Points sub-tab, the Sequences sub-tab, and the Data Collector Service sub-tab. An explanation of each follows. Raw Points Sub-Tab The Raw Points sub-tab, as seen in FIGURE 9-2, presents the I/O for the source selected in the right-hand pane. This source presentation is divided into three parts; the Wired Analogs, represented by the Analogs XX section of the sub-tab; the Pseudo Analogs, also represented by the Analogs XX section; and the Digitals, represented by the Digital Inputs XX and Digital Outputs XX sections. The XX in the section headings represents a number that is the count of I/O points in that particular section, (i.e., Digital Inputs 11 means there are 11 digital inputs in that section). Page | 9-1 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Figure 9-2 I/O Points Tab - Raw Points Wired Analogs The SpectraPak®-E has eleven wired 4-20ma analog inputs. The inputs have no engineering scaling and must be configured – additionally the inputs are internally stored as 0 - 4095 – integer values. Each analog input can be stored and recalled for up to 10 days. Pseudo Analogs For calculations and Modbus operations prepared internally on the SpectraPak®-E, the Pseudo Analogs are used. The advantage in any pseudo analog is data storage and recovery in the event the computer is turned off. The disadvantage is the logic to determine a calculated value is simplistic and may not cover all the rules as computed in the computer. Digitals Each SpectraPak®-E has ten digital inputs and 10 digital outputs for contact/switch monitoring and alarm/value operation. In addition, each SpectraPak®-E has twenty-two pseudo digital points used for intermediate logic calculations, (i.e., the Watchdog Timer is fed into the CEMS alarms). Sequences Sub-Tab The Sequences Sub-Tab presents the sequences necessary to for controlling activities in the CEMS. Each SpectraPak®-E has a Sequences table for controlling event, calibration, and purge activities. This table is represented in the Sequences Sub-Tab by a grid containing the Sequences, as seen in FIGURE 9-3. If the sequence table is empty, then, no Sequences have been defined for that SpectraPak®-E. Page | 9-2 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Figure 9-3 Sequences Sub-Tab The Sequences Sub-Tab grid items may be drilled into by clicking on a row in the grid. This will bring up additional data grids in the right-hand portion of the screen that contain the start times and steps for the selected Sequence, as seen in FIGURE 9-4. Page | 9-3 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Figure 9-4 Sequences Grid Drill-Down Sequence Start Times The Start Times grid displays the start times for the event selected in the Sequences grid. Multiple starts time are possible. If the “Is Active” is selected the event will run at the listed time. Deselecting the “Is Active” option will prevent the Sequence from running. The Start time could be blank indicating is a manually run operation only. To change the start time click on the number then enter the new time then press save. Sequence Steps Each of the Sequence Steps has a duration, listed in seconds, for the relevant operation. When a Sequence Step is completed the next Sequence Step listed will trigger and run for the duration listed. Clicking on the Sequence Step allows the end-user to edit the point that is used. To change the duration click on the number then enter the new duration in seconds then press save. what ACTIONS Download Sequences Once created, the Sequences must be downloaded to the SpectraPak®-E.

Figure 12-4 Data Sub-Tab Page | 12-3 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Chapter 13 - ADMIN TAB OVERVIEW The Admin Tab contains the functionality required to administer the SpectraView® Prism System, as seen in FIGURE 13-1. The contents of the Admin Tab are generally restricted to a limited number of endusers. Also, not all end-users who have access to the Admin Tab will have access to all of the functions on the tab, (i.e., one may have access to Application Messages, but not to Users and Security). Figure 13-1 Admin Tab The Admin Tab includes the administrative functions for Users and Security, Trend Configuration, Alarm Configuration, Sources Configuration, Tags Configuration, Expected Values, Application Messages, Startup Sessions, and Part 75, as seen in FIGURE 13-2. Page | 13-1 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Figure 13-2 Admin Functions Users and Security The Users and Security Tool in the Admin Tab is used for setting up end-users and their roles. Users Sub-Tab In order for a user to interact with SpectraView® Prism the user will need to be created and assigned a role, as seen in FIGURE 13-3. Figure 13-3 Users Sub-Tab Page | 13-2 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Normally a user is only assigned one role. However, a user may have several roles, but Prism will assign the most intrusive permissions, first. For example, if a user is assigned Operator and Admin, if either option has the rights to a particular function, then, the user will be granted access. Deselect all roles for a user and that user will become unable to access any functionality. When a user first attempts to gain access to a new system, the account will be created, but no roles will be assigned, effectively disabling the account. An administrator must assign rights so the user will have access. Roles Sub-Tab For each tab shown on the left hand side of the SpectraView® Prism Client, very detailed rights are allowed for each role, as seen in FIGURE 13-4.For example, the Calibration Tab can be expanded to list other rights such as Start Auto-Cal, Stop Auto-Cal, etc. By checking the option box under each role, the administrator is able to grant rights to that role. The number listed next to a tab name identifies the number of sub-items for that role. Clicking on the rows with numbers will expand those roles. Figure 13-4 Roles Sub-Tab Trend Configuration The Trend Configuration Tool in the Admin Tab allows the user to add, edit or configure trends. The tool also allows the end-user to create new trends or determine which units or parameters are to be shown on the Trends Tab, as seen in the right-hand side, upper right of FIGURE 13-5. A Trend group may be multi-scaled (each pen is rescaled 0-100% for visibility), made public, activated, given a default amount of data to display, and assigned a Reporting Group, as seen in the right-hand side, upper left of FIGURE 13-5. If an item is not listed in the Tags, the administrator may create a new Tag, then, return to Trends Configuration for monitoring, (see TAGS CONFIGURATION for more information on configuring tags). Page | 13-3 SpectraView® Prism User Manual Figure 13-5 Trend Configuration Alarm Configuration The Alarm Configuration Tool in the Admin Tab allows for the addition or modification of alarms, including system alarms, compliance alarms, warnings, instrument faults, and other alarms. Initial creation of alarms should be performed by Spectrum Systems, Inc. Changes to Alarms are easy to complete using the existing points.
