The following commands are for use when working in the Calculation Item window. Note that some of the options are available only for a specific fluid phase and the type of instrument selected.
Edit > Pipe/Orifice Materials
Allows you to add or edit pipe/orifice materials.
Edit > Copy > From Instrument
Copies process data from a selected instrument.
Edit > Copy > From Line
Copies instrument process data from a selected line.
Edit > Calculation > Flowmeter
Opens a flowmeter calculation sheet. Allows you to open process data sheet and delete selected instrument and line data.
Edit > Calculation > Thermowell
Opens a thermowell calculation sheet. Allows you to open process data sheet and delete selected instrument and line data.
Edit > Calculation > Control Valve
Opens a control valve calculation sheet. Allows you to open process data sheet and delete selected instrument and line data.
Edit > Calculation > Relief Valve
Opens a relief valve calculation sheet. Allows you to open process data sheet and delete selected instrument and line data.
Edit > Batch Calculation > Flowmeter
Select an instrument type for which you want to calculate tags.
Edit > Batch Calculation > Thermowell
Select an instrument type for which you want to calculate tags.
Edit > Batch Calculation > Control Valve
Select an instrument type for which you want to calculate tags.
Edit > Batch Calculation > Relief Valve
Select an instrument type for which you want to calculate tags.
Actions > Enable Case
Opens a dialog to select a case name for the current process data sheet (available only if you have not yet created at least one case for this tag).
Actions > Add Case
Adds a case to the current tag (available only for a multi-case tag).
Actions > Delete Case
Deletes the active case from the current tag (available only for a multi- case tag).
Actions > Set as Governing
Sets the current process data case as the governing case(available only if the current tag has at least one case).
Actions > Save
Saves the current values.
Actions > Recalculate Properties
Recalculates the displayed process data properties.
Actions > Enter Built-up Back Pressure
Opens the Built-up Back Pressure dialog to enter built-up back pressure for the current instrument (available when you are calculating a relief valve).
Actions > Recommended Valve Characteristic
Calculates the recommended valve characteristic. Determine whether a linear or equal percentage valve is more suitable for a specific valve application (available when you are calculating a control valve).
Actions > Calculate
Performs a calculation based on the values entered.
Actions > Assign Sheet Numbering
Opens a dialog where you assign a number to the current sheet within a calculation report.
Options > History Options
Opens a dialog to set options to mark the process data that has changed between dates that you set.
Options > Mark Changes
Marks the changes in the current process data sheet for the dates you selected in the History Options dialog. Enabling this option disables the Compare function available in the print preview.
Options > Highlight Process Data
Displays highlight colors in the background of fields that are mandatory for calculations (available only for instrument process data sheets). When displayed, the colors indicate the following types of mandatory fields:
-
A cyan background indicates that you must enter a value on the process data sheet.
-
A yellow background indicates that you may enter a value on the process data sheet, or you can leave it blank and enter a value for that field later on the calculation sheet.
Options > Automatic Unit Conversion
Converts engineering units of measure.
Options > Calculate Liquid Compressibility
Calculate liquid density using the liquid compressibility factor
Options > Saturated Steam
Calculates saturated steam temperature in accordance with its pressure (available if the fluid state is steam).
Reports > Calculation
Generates a calculation report for the current instrument.
