Promis is an MS-Windows compatible application to collect, organize, visualize and report measurement data!



You can organize your collected data by location in a hierarchical-structured tree. You can define multiple 'tags' per location, which are used to register measurements on (a/o a tag for registration a room temperature). 'Drag & Drop' can be used to move 'tags' as well as locations to different positions in the hierarchical structure (of course without losing the registered measurement history). Locations and tags can be mapped on geographical maps, CAD drawings or bitmap pictures. Data can be printed saved and emailed in graphical (*.jpg) , tabular (*.xls) and report (*.html) form. Promis comes with an integrated ‘Data Collector Manager’ to input measurements from data acquisition sources, but because Promis uses an open database, measurements can be inputted with external data collectors as well.



With the Player measurements can be played back and forward in time. The player chart is divided into two vertical parts, which are having their own time-axis and their own 'player'-controls. Each vertical part has a left and right Y-axis. For each Y-axis a tag associated to the current location can be selected. Because the same tag can be selected in the upper part as well as in the lower, it is possible to compare measurements of the same tag in time.



You can define several charts per location. When creating a new chart, Promis generates a default chart based on the tags associated to the selected location. The default chart displays the measurements of max. 8 tags over the selected period. All tags are associated to the left Y-axis. The user may create, delete or alter the queries. It's also possible to modify visual properties. A/o attaching tags to a specific Y-axis, changing colors or adding function series (e.g. curve fitting or moving average). Charts can be printed or saved or e-mailed as JPEG compatible pictures.



You can define several reports per location. Reports can be printed, saved or e-mailed.
When creating a new report, Promis pops up a list with report templates to choose from.

The list with templates contains a standard tabular report in html, csv, xls, xml and txt format.

The standard report displays the measurement history of the selected tags in tabular form over the selected period.

The list with report templates contains a/o the following instrumentation reports: angular gauge, linear gauge, tank gauge, pie gauge, compass and a traffic light. Instrument reports can be used to construct control/vizualization panels.



The report engine makes use of modern technologies like: SQL, XML, XSLT and scripting (JavaScript/VBScript), making the engine very powerfull and useable to generated almost any kind of report, from simple flat-text CSV files to advanced reports in HTML or XML format.

Note: To define custom reports, knowledge of SQL, XML and XSLT transformations is required or you could contact Projex to let us implement specific reports for you.



The 'History'-page shows the measurements, over the select period of the tags associated to the selected location, in tabular form. It also includes a summary at the bottom of the sheet. The 'History'-page can be printed or saved or e-mailed as an Excel compatible sheet.
