Graco_Computer_Monitor

Graco strongly recommends that the end user???s IT (Information Technology) representative be involved in the following Matrix installation activities:

???Assist with the selection and/or purchase of the Matrix PC. The PC must meet the performance specifications listed under PC Hardware Require- ments. If the Matrix PC will be connected to a Net- work with other PCs, the IT representative should be contacted to properly configure the PC before loading Matrix software.

???The IT representative should be present during Matrix software loading on the day of Matrix installa- tion.

General Matrix System

Specifications

Matrix PC software supports systems using a single PC (also referred to as a standalone PC) as well as multi- ple-PC systems.

Single PC (Standalone) Systems: Intended primarily for applications that do not require interaction with Matrix screens from multiple locations and have few tank level monitors, this type of system provides com- plete Matrix system functionality at one PC.

Multiple-PC (Networked) Systems: Using an existing network, Matrix deployed in this fashion consists of a single (dedicated) PC functioning as the Matrix Server and one or more PCs functioning as Matrix Clients. The Matrix system???s transceiver(s) are always connected to the Matrix Server. This configuration is recommended for applications where Matrix screen access from multi- ple physical locations is desired or there are large num- bers of tank level monitors.

This version of Matrix will support a network of up to 25 Matrix Client PCs; more than 25 are not sup- ported. Please call Graco if you require more than 25 client PCs.

PC Hardware Requirements

Standalone Matrix PC:

???2 MHz Pentium 4 (or equivalent) processor

???512 MB RAM, 1024x768 screen resolution

???1 GB free hard disk space

???CD-ROM drive

System Requirements

???one available RS232 port

???network card

???uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

???Some means of archiving Matrix production data and backup database files over time is recom- mended--examples of hardware that can help with this are a CD/RW or DVD-R/W drive, a USB flash drive, or an accessible network drive.

Graco recommends that this PC be dedicated to Matrix--i.e. it is not used for other purposes, like running spreadsheet programs, sending e-mail, etc.

Matrix Server PC in a multiple-PC system:

Graco requires that this PC be dedicated to Matrix--i.e. it is not used for other purposes, like running spreadsheet programs, sending e-mail, etc.

Matrix Client PC in a multiple-PC system:

2 MHz Pentium 4 (or equivalent) processor, 512 MB RAM, 1024x768 screen resolution, 500 MB free hard disk space, CD-ROM drive, network card.

Serial Port

If the standalone Matrix PC or Matrix Server does not have a physical serial port, a USB-to-serial port con- verter will be required. The converter selected is based on the number of transceivers used in the system. Graco recommends Edgeport converters, which are available in 1, 4, or 8 port models (Edgeport/1, Edge- port/4, and Edgeport/8, respectively) and can be pur- chased from B & B Electronics Manufacturing Company (www.bb-elec.com) for North American (N. A.) applica- tions. For Australian applications contact www.tdata.com.au. Each model comes with a 3.3 foot (1 meter) cable.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is required in all Matrix systems and is available from Graco (part no. 119425 for North American applications or part no. 120104 in Australia). This power supply provides contin- uous battery power to the PC during power interruption and safely shuts down the PC, securing your Matrix soft- ware and preventing data corruption. Be sure the PC and monitor are plugged into the battery back-up side of the UPS during installation.

E-Mail

Matrix can send e-mail to responsible parties based on certain bulk fluid tank conditions. If this feature is to be used, an ???always on??? Internet connection or network access to an outgoing mail server is required.

PC Software Requirements

???Microsoft XP Professional or Home Edition (no other operating system will work).

???Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 6.0 or higher.

???Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4 or later. Ver- sion 1.4.2_04 is included in the Matrix setup; if Matrix finds no JRE installed on the machine or it finds an installed JRE older than 1.4, the user is prompted to install this version. This check occurs when the Matrix Client is started.

???If the installation is a multiple-PC system, the PCs must be configured for the network they???re con- nected to.

???If the installation will use the e-mail feature of Matrix, the standalone Matrix PC or Matrix Server must have network access to an outgoing mail server.

System Requirements

properly, any pop-up blockers installed on the PC must be configured to allow pop-ups from the Matrix server (or be turned off).

Pop-up blockers come in many forms. The version of IE that comes with Windows XP Service Pack 2, for exam- ple, contains a built-in pop-up blocker.

The IE browser???s pop-up blocker can either be turned off or configured to allow pop-ups by adding allowed sites in the pop-up blocker settings of IE. In FIG. 1, if you select ???Pop-up Blocker Settings???, the window shown in FIG. 2 appears. This example is taken from a ???default??? installa- tion of the Matrix software on a standalone PC (the allowed site shown in FIG. 2 was added manually, not by Matrix).

FIG. 1

Pop-Up Blocker

Special Considerations for pop-up blockers

Summary: If a browser pop-up blocker is installed, it must either be disabled or configured to allow pop-ups. If it???s a single-PC system, the pop-up blocker must allow pop-ups from http://127.0.0.1:8080. If it???s a multiple-PC system, a pop-up blocker on the Matrix Server must allow pop-ups from http://127.0.0.1:8080, while a pop-up blocker on a Matrix Client must allow pop-ups from http://MatrixServer:8080, where ???Matrix Server??? is the computer name or IP address of the Matrix Server PC. Recent versions of Internet Explorer have a built-in pop-up blocker. You may have one or more browser tool- bars that have pop-up blocker functionality, such as those from Google and Yahoo. Security software pro- grams, such as those provided by Symantec and McAfee can contain pop-up blockers. It is fairly common for PCs to have multiple pop-up blockers.

Matrix relies on the IE browser for its user interface. In particular, Matrix uses browser pop-up windows exten- sively. The Matrix server includes a web server that gen- erates the screens viewed within the browser. If the PC has a pop-up blocker present, it can stop Matrix browser windows from appearing. For Matrix windows to appear

FIG. 2

Many toolbars that integrate with IE also contain pop-up blockers, such as those available from Google and Yahoo. FIG. 3 shows an example of the Google toolbar; others are very similar.

System Requirements

FIG. 3

Typically, when a PC has an active pop-up blocker and the Matrix client is launched, a progress bar appears briefly and disappears without any further visible indica- tion of anything happening. This is usually an indication that the PC has a pop-up blocker that is stopping the Matrix window from appearing.

There are some general guidelines to follow to track down the responsible pop-up blocker (there can easily be multiple pop-up blockers present in any system). The goal is to configure each pop-up blocker by either turn- ing it off or telling it to allow pop-ups generated by the Matrix server (while still blocking pop-ups from all other sites). On a single-PC Matrix system, you should config- ure the pop-up blocker to allow pop-ups from server address http://127.0.0.1. On multiple-PC systems, the address to allow is that of the Matrix server, either its host name or IP address.

Many pop-up blockers recognize the Control key on the keyboard, if pressed while clicking on a link, as a com- mand to temporarily allow pop-ups originating from that link???s source. To try this method, hold down the Control key on the keyboard while double-clicking on the Matrix client icon on the desktop. This works only for that par- ticular pop-up instance, so it???s not a good long-term solution.

General guidelines to find and configure pop-up blockers:

First, open a blank IE browser window. Click on Tools in the menu bar (see FIG. 1). Choose Turn Off Pop-up Blocker or configure the pop-up blocker to allow pop-ups from the Matrix server.

If IE has been properly configured and the Matrix win- dows still do not appear, it???s time to look for pop-up blockers from other vendors, starting with toolbars inte- grated with IE. In IE, click on View in the menu bar and choose Toolbars (see F IG . 4).

FIG. 4

Toolbars integrated with IE usually show up in the list here. Look for entries like Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. Make sure each of these is checked (which will cause them to appear, usually underneath the address bar in the browser window) and then confirm with each one that it???s allowing pop-ups from the Matrix server.

The following example illustrates the Google toolbar, but the others generally function in a very similar fashion.

Example: Assuming a Google toolbar is installed and the system is a single PC Matrix system. The system has been rebooted since the application was installed. While the Matrix Client is in the Windows Startup folder, no browser window appeared when Windows started.

Open a blank IE window. With the Google toolbar visi- ble, enter http://127.0.0.1:8080 in the address bar and press Enter. If a window like the one shown in FIG. 5 appears, the Matrix server is running, but you have a pop-up blocker.

FIG. 5

Note the button in the middle of the Google toolbar that shows 31 blocked (circled in FIG. 5); this is a count of how many pop-ups the Google toolbar has stopped from appearing. Click this button to make the toolbar allow pop-ups from the address currently in the address bar. Close the browser window and try launching Matrix via the Matrix client desktop icon again.

The same series of steps is performed for multiple-PC systems, only the address used is different--the address of the Matrix server is used instead of 127.0.0.1.

Pop-up blockers are not limited to those included with browser toolbars. Security products such as Norton Internet Security also block pop-ups; refer to the ven- dor???s instructions on how to configure these software programs.

Software Firewalls

Special Considerations for Firewalls

Summary: Any firewalls in use must allow TCP traffic on ports 8080-8082 and 3306 at the Matrix Server and port 8082 at each Matrix Client. Matrix will not function prop- erly if any of these ports are blocked. Windows XP has a built-in firewall, which is turned on by default (meaning that these ports are blocked) in Service Pack 2.

Any firewalls on the Matrix PC must allow network traffic over several ports. PCs communicate with each other via IP addresses and port numbers. An IP address can be compared to the street address of an apartment building, with a port number as a specific apartment number in the building. The Matrix server and Matrix cli- ents require certain ports be available/open in order to communicate properly. These are the default TCP ports required by the server and each client:

Matrix server:

Port 3306 - Matrix Database

Port 8080 - Matrix Web Server

Port 8081 - Matrix Server

Matrix Client:

Port 8082 - Matrix Client

Communication to these ports can be blocked by firewall software installed on your computer. Windows XP con- tains the Windows Firewall, but there are numerous products provided by third parties such as Symantec and McAfee that also provide firewall functionality. What this means for Matrix is that any Firewalls) on the Matrix PC must be either configured to allow traffic over these ports or turned off altogether.

System Requirements

The Matrix setup program offers to open these ports for you in the Windows Firewall. It does not do this for other firewall products.

Network traffic over these ports can also be blocked by what is called a proxy server. Whether or not a network has a proxy server that stops traffic on these ports, port 8080 in particular, is a question for the facility IT person- nel.

The ports listed above are the defaults. If they are changed for any reason, corresponding changes must be made in the firewall settings to allow traffic over the new port numbers. Changing the port numbers may be necessary if, for example, another application is already using these port numbers. Graco strongly recommends that IT personnel familiar with the network are involved with this configuration change.

Windows XP Security

The following security-related configuration settings are not required but are recommended for all Matrix PCs:

1.Be sure a user name and password are required to access the operating system.

2.Ensure the password-protected screensaver is enabled and set to automatically activate after 15-30 minutes of system inactivity.

3.Change user passwords on a regular basis and choose passwords that are difficult to guess.

4.Use anti-virus software to protect against viruses. Some anti-virus programs are bundled with other security software, including other security tools such as pop-up blockers and firewalls. Take note of the recommendations in the sections titled Special Considerations for Pop-up Blockers on page 4 and Special Considerations for Firewalls on page 6.

5.Be sure the system is kept up to date with Microsoft XP updates and service packs.

6.Use a firewall. As mentioned in the section titled

Special Considerations for Firewalls, take care to allow for continued operation of Matrix by not block- ing the network ports Matrix needs to use.

Sun Java Runtime

Because the startup program places shortcuts to Matrix in the Windows Startup folder, Matrix will launch auto- matically when the you log into Windows. Each time Matrix is launched, it checks for the presence of the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on the PC. If it is not found, Matrix will launch the setup program for it (JRE version 1.4.2_04 is bundled with the Matrix setup) and then exit. You must be logged into Windows XP with administrator privileges for the JRE installation to suc- ceed. Proceed through the JRE installation. When installation is complete, reboot your computer. When logged back into Windows, Graco strongly recommends the following Java Plug-in configuration changes:

Navigate to Control Panel / Java Plug-in and dou- ble-click Java Plug-in. Select the Cache tab and dese- lect the Enable Caching feature, then click Apply. See FIG. 30.

FIG. 30

Click the Update tab and deselect the Check For Updates Automatically feature, then click Apply. Click the X in the top right corner to close the window. See FIG. 31.

Installation Instructions

Matrix log files found in c:\MatrixLogs, will not be removed by the automated uninstall process. They must be deleted manually.

Operator Screens

Battery Level Information ___________________________________

Place the cursor over the Battery Level Information box, causing the text to turn yellow. Left click the box to go to the Battery Level Information screen. See FIG. 34.

FIG. 34 Battery Level Information Screen

This screen provides battery charge level for all meters and tank level monitor batteries in the system. Each row corresponds to a meter or tank.

Date & Time - the date and time of the last battery sta- tus update

Meter Or Tank Name - the name of the meter or tank, including the fluid name associated with it.

Warning Level - the user-configurable point at which the battery should be replaced for the meter or tank, expressed as a percentage of a fully charged battery and set in the meter or tank???s setup configuration.

Battery Level Status - the actual battery status, expressed as a percentage of a fully charged battery.

If a tank level monitor???s battery level status drops below it???s configured warning level, the row corresponding to that tank level monitor in the list will turn red. This high- lights the fact that a tank level monitor has a battery level nearing zero and should have a new battery installed. The row will stay red until the battery is changed and Matrix receives a reading from that tank level monitor.

System Administrator Screens

Matrix System Setup

Once the Matrix PC software is installed, it???s necessary to synchronize the software with the other hardware components of the Matrix system. This is done through the system administrator portion of the software. This section is password protected and provides access to all Matrix setup screens. Only individuals with system administrator rights have access to this portion of the program.

Move the mouse pointer to the box labeled Matrix Sys- tem Setup. The text will turn yellow. Left click to bring up the Authenticate User dialogue box.

1.Key in your user information and click Submit. For initial log on only, type in matrix (lowercase) for user name and graco (lowercase) for the password. Click Submit. Once the initial log on information is authenticated, the System Administration screen appears. See FIG. 35.

FIG. 35 System Administration Screen

Personalized passwords for System Administra- tion, Entering Work Orders, and for Adjusting Tank Levels are entered at the System User Setup screen, see page 23. Once a new admin user account is created, the default matrix/graco account is disabled.

The system administrator has access to:

???System Configuration - setting global security, mea- surement system, Transceiver configuration and Matrix PC client information.

???System User Setup - add, modify, and remove users.

???Tank Setup - add, modify, adjust, remove, and pro- gram tank level monitors.

???E-mail Setup - configure email to be sent to respon- sible parties based on various tank conditions.

???Return to Operating Screens- returns the user to the operating screens.

System Administrator Screens

System Configuration ______________________________________

There are three sections of the System Configuration screen: General system-wide default settings, transceiver set- tings, and PC client settings. See FIG. 36.

The System Configuration setup must be performed prior to defining all other Matrix system setup parame- ters.

FIG. 36 System Configuration Screen

To change any of the settings listed for system configu- ration, click modify.

Unit of Measure (English or Metric)

Measurement System is the global units of measure- ment setting. English and Metric are the two options in the pull down menu. This setting can be changed on a tank-to-tank and meter-to-meter basis.

1.In the Measurement System box, select English or Metric.

2.Click Apply

Click Apply to update contact information and return to the System Configuration screen.

Transceiver Setup

Click the Add Transceiver button, then click Modify.

1.Enter the area of the shop where the transceiver is located (i.e., Main Shop, Fast Lube Shop, Engine Department) in the Transceiver Name field.

2.The Network ID is a letter designation for the Trans- ceiver network identification. The default is (A). There are eight network ID???s available designated with the letters A through H. Type in the selected Network ID.

The Network ID letter for a given Transceiver must match that Transceiver???s dipswitch set- tings.

3.Transceiver ID is a letter designation for the Trans- ceiver Identification. The default is (A). There are eight Transceiver ID???s available designated with the letters A through H.

The Transceiver ID letter for a given Transceiver must match that Transceivers equivalent dip- switch settings.

4.Serial Port is a pull down menu of all available com- munication ports on the Matrix PC. COM 1 is the default setting. If COM 1 is not available, select an open port from the pull down list.

Some computers may not have any serial ports. In this case a USB converter will be required to obtain serial ports. Graco recommends Edge- port models from B & B Electronics.

If you attempt to add a Transceiver and the PC has no COM ports available, an error message appears. Contact your IT professional or add serial ports using the USB convertors recom- mended by Graco. See page 3 for additional information.

Firmware Revision is the Transceiver firmware revision level.

Transceiver Power-up

Graco recommends that when you plug in the power cord to the transceiver, do it with the PC serial cable already plugged in.

System Administrator Screens

Confirm PC/Transceiver Communication

Each time a transceiver is powered up, it reads its dip switch settings for Network ID and Transceiver ID and sends this information to the PC. It also sends the trans- ceiver???s firmware revision level. These settings are dis- played as ???Last Power-up Settings??? and ???Firmware Revision??? on this screen. If these fields are ???N/A???, it means that the transceiver has never (successfully) communicated with the PC.

One way to confirm that the serial connection between PC and transceiver is functioning properly is to change the transceiver dip switch settings and verify that the PC software reflects the new settings. Refer to the trans- ceiver manual on how to set transceiver dip switches.

Example:

A Matrix system has a single transceiver, the desired settings on the transceiver setup screen (Fig. 18) are Network ID = A, Transceiver ID = A, and Serial Port = COM1 (factory defaults).

FIG. 39

1.If it???s open, close the transceiver setup screen (Fig. 18).

2.Power off the transceiver.

3.Set the transceiver dipswitch settings to: Network ID = H

Transceiver ID = H

Refer to transceiver manual 309498 for instructions.

4.With one end of the serial cable already plugged into the PC and the other end in the transceiver, power up the transceiver.

5.As the transceiver initializes itself on power-up, watch the LED lights on the side of the transceiver. You should see the lights flicker briefly with a burst of activity. You may see occasional flickering of the lights after this initial burst.

6.After the brief burst of LED activity, open the trans- ceiver setup screen in the PC software and check the ???Last Power-up Settings???. If they show the Net- work ID = H and Transceiver ID = H settings as described above, the serial connection between the PC and the transceiver is functioning properly.

7.Close the transceiver setup screen.

8.Power down the transceiver and restore the dip switch settings to their Network ID = A, Transceiver ID = A settings.

9.Power up the transceiver.

10.After the initialization activity reflected by the lights on the transceiver, open the transceiver setup screen and confirm that the ???Last Power-up Set- tings??? read Network ID = A and Transceiver ID = A.

If the ???Last Power-up Settings??? do not update, one or more things may be happening.

First, the serial port selected on the transceiver setup screen may not be the one the serial cable is plugged into. Many newer computers have only one serial port on the back of the computer; the port may or may not be COM1. It could easily be another COM number, so if other COM ports show up in the transceiver setup screen???s drop down list for Serial Port selection, try using each of those in turn and repeat the above steps. Many new computers have no serial ports at all, in which case a USB to RS232 converter is required to supply at least one serial port. Graco recommends the purchase of Edgeport brand USB to RS232 converters, available from www.bb-elec.com. Follow the installation instruc- tions for the converter carefully and make sure you reboot the computer when complete. Again, don???t assume the COM port number???the documentation with the converter should help explain what COM port num- ber the converter will provide.

System Administrator Screens

When the Matrix PC software starts up, one of the first things it does is check with Windows to find out what serial ports (COM ports) exist in the system. These ports are the ones listed in the Serial Port drop down list on the transceiver setup screen. If a port you expect is not listed there, it is because it is not registered as a valid port with Windows.

Second, the selected COM port may be in use by another program on the PC. In this case, even if the Serial Port selection on the transceiver setup screen matches the port the cable is plugged into, no Matrix communication will happen because a different software program ???owns??? the port. The only way to get it to work is to either shut down the other program or configure either the other program or Matrix to use a different COM port. Software programs that use serial ports include fax software and PDA software.

Third, the cable between the PC and the transceiver could be either bad or wired improperly. The latter is most likely to occur when an RS422 connection is used; the former could happen with either serial cable choice. Make sure the cables are firmly connected, so that there isn???t a chance the plug or wire is falling out on either end.

Repeat this setup for each Transceiver ensuring that no two Transceivers use the same Network and Transceiver IDs. If you have only one transceiver, Graco recom- mends using the default Network ID and Transceiver ID settings.

Recommendations

1.Verify that the serial link between the PC and trans- ceiver is working. See the Confirm PC/Transceiver Communication section on how to do this. If this link is not working, nothing else will.

2.Tank level monitors come from the factory with exactly the same factory default configura- tion???including the RF settings the tank level moni- tors use to communicate to the PC via the transceiver. Therefore, when trying to program one tank level monitor, another tank level monitor may interfere. Particularly when commissioning a system for the first time, remove the batteries from all tank level monitors except the one you???re programming.

3.Do not program another tank level monitor until you get the Programming complete! message shown in FIG. 54. If you program a tank level monitor and it appears to be successfully programmed at the tank but you didn???t get the programming complete mes- sage at the PC, Graco recommends you reprogram the tank level monitor. This ensures that you do not get two tank level monitors programmed with dupli- cate parameters, which will cause unpredictable system behavior.

E-Mail Setup______________________________________________

Click E-Mail Setup to go to the E-Mail Setup screen (FIG. 55).

FIG. 55 E-Mail Setup Screen

Matrix can send e-mail notification to responsible parties based on the following tank-related events:

Missed Tank Level Reading ??? Tank level monitors can be programmed to measure the tank level at predeter- mined times and report that information to the PC. If the tank level monitor is programmed to report at a specific time, this event is fired if no report is received by the PC within 55 minutes. For example, if the tank level monitor is programmed to report tank level at 2:00 pm and no reading is received by the PC by 2:55pm, the reading is considered missed and an e-mail will be sent. This event is usually sent to the Matrix system administrator.

Tank Low Level or High Level Warnings ??? If the tank level falls below the Low Level warning threshold or rises above the High Level warning threshold pro- grammed for the tank, an e-mail will be sent. These events are usually sent to the fresh oil supplier, the waste oil recycler, and/or the Matrix system administra- tor.

Current Tank Volume ??? The current tank volume can be e-mailed as a scheduled event. This event is usually sent to the fresh oil supplier, the waste oil recycler, and/or the Matrix system administrator.

Tank Volume History ??? A history of tank volume read- ings can be e-mailed as a scheduled event. This event is usually sent to the Matrix system administrator.

It is possible for the Missed Tank Level Reading and

Low/High Level Warning events to occur multiple times per day, but an e-mail for that particular event will be sent only once per day. For example, if the tank level

falls below the configured warning level, each succes- sive tank level reading from that tank will generate a pop-up Low Tank Level warning. This will continue until the tank is filled above the warning level???but the e-mail notification will happen only the first time it occurs on that day.

Graco strongly recommends that the End User???s Information Systems personnel be involved in the following Matrix configuration.

E-mail Configuration

Click E-MAIL CONFIGURATION to display the dialog box shown in F IG . 56.

FIG. 56 E-mail Configuration dialog

1.Your Company Name ??? this is the end user???s com- pany name.

2.???From??? E-Mail Address ??? recipients of any e-mail sent by Matrix will appear to come from the address entered here. Typically, this is the e-mail address of the person responsible for managing the bulk oil tank deliveries and pick-ups at the Matrix site.

3.SMTP Server Address for Outgoing Mail ??? the address of the mail server to which Matrix transfers outbound e-mail. This address can be obtained from either the Internet service provider or from IT per- sonnel at the site. Some Internet service providers change the SMTP address frequently (eg. AOL). The Matrix e-mail functionality will not work with these Internet service providers.

4.Use Authentication/User Name/Password ??? some mail servers require authentication in the form of a user name and password. If this is the case, check the check box and enter the appropriate user name and password here. Otherwise, leave the check box unchecked and the user name and password fields blank.

5.Click Apply close the screen and save changes.

To verify the e-mail configuration settings made above, create a Current Tank Volume e-mail event (as described below) for about 5 minutes in the future, allow the time to expire, and verify with the recipient that the e-mail was received. Once Matrix has created the e-mail and transferred it to the mail server, Matrix cannot con- firm that the e-mail actually arrived at the intended recip- ient. However, Matrix Reporter provides a report that summarizes e-mail events, at least as far as creating the e-mail and getting it as far as the mail server.

Adding an E-Mail Event

Click Add E-Mail. A new record is added to the screen.

Modifying E-mail Events

1.Locate the e-mail event you wish to change and select Modify.

2.In the new Send to E-mail Address, enter the e-mail address of the person you wish to send notify of this event.

System Administrator Screens

Only one address can be entered; if the same noti- fication needs to be sent to multiple addresses, a separate e-mail event must be created for each recipient.

3.Click the Event drop down list and select event.

4.Assign Tanks to this e-mail Event: Click and high- light the tank(s) that you wish to send, then click the (>>) right arrows. The tank(s) will be moved to the assigned tank column. Click Apply. See FIG. 57.

Removing an E-Mail Event

In the Action column of the record you want to change, click remove. The record is removed from the screen.

System Status ____________________________________________

Selecting the system status box returns the user to the Operator User System screen.

Matrix Reporter

Matrix Reporter provides all Matrix reports and is used to import and export the Matrix database.

Production Data

Matrix retains production data over a 4 month rolling window. That is, data older than 4 months is automati- cally deleted on a daily basis. This ???purging??? action is performed at 3:30 am when the system is idle. This operation keeps the internal Matrix database to a man- ageable size ensuring that the system performs reliably. If retaining production data beyond the 4 month window is required, the Matrix system administrator should run the desired reports on a regular basis and either save the data to an electronic file or print a hard copy.

Starting Matrix Reporter

Navigate to Start / All Programs / Graco / Matrix and select Matrix Reporter. You will be prompted for a Matrix user name and password, which must have an Administrator security level.

Matrix Reporter

Select a report from the drop down list under the main menu at the top of the screen. See F IG . 59. The data for the report will populate the report window below. At this point the data can be viewed, filtered by date, saved to file, or printed. See F IG . 60.

FIG. 59 Reports Type selection

Creating a Report

When you have successfully logged in, Matrix Reporter opens with a blank report window (F IG . 58).

FIG. 58 Matrix Reporting Window

Do not close the blank report window; a window like this is required to be open in order to display report contents. If for some reason the window is closed, a new one can be created by clicking on File / New in the main menu or the ???Create a new report??? button on the toolbar.

Saving Report Data to File

All Matrix reports can be saved to an electronic file on the hard disk by running the desired report and then selecting Tools/Save Active Report from the main menu. The file will be in comma-separated text format and can be saved with a .csv or .txt extension. A spread- sheet software program such as Microsoft Excel can open a file like this for custom data manipulation and reporting.

Matrix Reporter

Exporting the Matrix Database

The internal Matrix database can be exported to an electronic file by clicking Tools/Database Utilities/ Export Database. You will be prompted for a file name that by default will have an .sql extension. See F IG . 61. Saving the file to the hard disk is recommended. If you need to transfer the file elsewhere via floppy disk or other means, save the file to the hard disk first and then copy the file to the intended destination.

Printing Report Data

Most, but not all reports can be printed to a file by selecting File/Print from the main menu. Some reports have too many columns to format on common paper sizes and therefore will not print with this command. For reports that cannot be printed directly from Matrix Reporter, the print button on the toolbar and the print command in the File menu are disabled.

Filtering Report Data

Reports that contain production data (as opposed to configuration data) can be filtered by running the report and then selecting Tools/Filter Active Report by Date. You will be prompted for a start and end dates.

Matrix Database Import and Export

The ability to import and export the Matrix database allows end users to periodically backup their database, something that becomes critically important in the event of a hard disk failure. Graco recommends the database be backed up (exported to a file) after each system con- figuration change. This file represents a ???snapshot??? of the system???s configuration (including production data such as tank level readings) at that point in time. In the event of a PC problem, such as a hard disk failure, the system can be restored by replacing the failed hard- ware, reloading the Matrix application software, and importing the last saved backup database file. This restores the system to the last saved snapshot.

While Matrix Reporter is available on all Matrix PCs, Graco recommends using the database import and export features in Matrix Reporter on the Matrix Server PC, rather than a Matrix Client PC.

FIG. 61

This export process saves all Matrix data, both configu- ration and production data, to the file. Graco recom- mends this export process be done, at minimum, any time the system configuration is changed???a meter???s configuration is changed, a new meter is added, a new user is added, etc. If the PC has a hard disk failure or becomes otherwise unusable, the Matrix application software can be reloaded and the last saved database file can be imported to recover from the event???see

Importing a Matrix Database File for details. Graco recommends the backup database file be stored some- where other than the Matrix PC???s hard disk???such as on a network drive, on a CD or DVD, or on an external drive.

This database export process can be done at any time without interfering with normal operation of the Matrix system.

Importing a Matrix Database File

Matrix can import database files created by the export routine described in Exporting the Matrix Database in this manual.

The primary purpose of importing a Matrix database file is to allow recovery from a catastrophic PC hardware or software event, such as a hard disk failure or reinstalla- tion of Windows. It is a process that should not be taken lightly. If the import process is not done correctly, Matrix may malfunction or could fail completely and require a manual reconfiguration of the entire system, including reprogramming of all tank level monitors. Read and understand the database import process and its ramifi- cations before importing a database file.

When a database file is imported, the contents of the file completely replace all elements of data that the Matrix system has. This includes system configuration and pro- duction data.

Configuration data. Configuration data is all the sys- tem setup parameters, such as system, user, tank level monitor, and e-mail event parameters.

Production data. Production data is all data that Matrix generates as part of normal system operation, such as tank level reporting history.

Since the database file???s contents replace the corre- sponding settings and data in Matrix, any configuration changes made and production data generated since the file???s creation will be lost.

If there are differences between, for example, tank level monitor parameters in the database file and the actual programmed parameters in the tank level monitor itself, the resulting system behavior is unpredictable. The tank level monitors will have to be reprogrammed to ensure the PC and tank level monitors are match exactly. Therefore, export the database to a backup file when- ever the system configuration is changed.

Follow the instructions carefully when import- ing a database file. If this process is not done cor- rectly, Matrix may malfunction or could fail completely and require a manual reconfiguration of the entire system, including reprogramming of all meters and tank level monitors.

The database file being imported must have been cre- ated by the Matrix system you are using. If you???re upgrading from an older version of Matrix PC software to this version, you must contact your authorized Graco distributor for assistance.

Matrix Reporter

The contents of the database file being imported will completely replace all elements of data that the existing system has. This includes system configuration and pro- duction data.

The import process is not reversible, meaning that you can???t ???undo??? the import. However, there are precautions that you can take to recover an previous database fol- lowing an import (see step 3 of the import instructions below).

Database file import instructions

1.The import must be done when the Matrix system is idle. Do not attempt to dispense fluid with the Matrix system while doing an import.

2.The database file being imported must have been created by the same version of Matrix it???s being imported into. For example, if you???ve recently upgraded to a new version of Matrix, you cannot import backup database files created by the old ver- sion.

3.While not a mandatory step, Graco recommends exporting the existing database to a file before importing the new one. If the import process should not work in any way, this provides a means of get- ting back to where you started (the database file saved as a precaution in this step could be recov- ered).

4.Close all Matrix windows.

5.Open Matrix Reporter by clicking on Start/All Pro- gram/Graco/Matrix and selecting Matrix Reporter.

6.In Matrix Reporter, click on Tools/Database Utili- ties/Import Database. You will be prompted for a file name. Navigate to the directory in which the database file resides and select it.

7.Matrix will import the contents of the file.

8.When the import is complete, close Matrix Reporter.

9.Reboot the computer.

10.The Matrix system administrator should review all system configuration settings and verify they are correct. If there is any doubt whether the settings in the Matrix PC software are in synch with those pro- grammed into the tank level monitors, reprogram these devices to make sure the settings are syn- chronized. Differences between the settings for these devices in the PC software and the way they are programmed will cause unpredictable system behavior.
