3 OVERVIEW OF K-GAUGE CARGO LEVEL SYSTEM

3.1 General description
The K-Gauge Cargo Level System is operated through a PCapplication with a graphic man machine interface (MMI). The application is the genuine subject of this users manual, as it is the point of user interaction. Other main system parts are radar signal processing unit [GLK-300] and the cargo level sensors. The application PC is usually referred to as an Operator Station [OS] in the system. The OS is the main presentation unit of the cargo level system. From the OS, situated in a control room, the user can monitor the cargo level data and control all essential operating parameters. Any number of OSs may be connected in an Ethernet network to provide consoles at various locations onboard a ship. System alarms are continuously handled ensuring that the user is immediately alerted if any alarm limits are exceeded. Failures that may occur in the system are immediately reported on the OS-screen. The system has embedded capabilities to handle reports on failures and alarms, as well as history and trend reports on all measured values. With system extensions, these reports and trends may be printed at any time. For detail on these operations se the K-Chief user manual. The K-Gauge Cargo Level system may be delivered as a standalone system or as an integrated part of a larger Kongsberg vessel monitoring and control system. This user manual describes a functions covered by the K-Gauge mimic. In a stand-alone system delivery, the system Main Menu is modelled as a vertical Task Bar of control buttons at the right hand side of the OS-screen. The program is operated with a mouse or a trackball. All subpanel selections are performed by left clicking on the control buttons of the Main Task Bar. Sub-panels for parameter values, alarm limit settings and graphic presentation of vessel specific data are displayed on the OS-screen.

Corrected values may be entered for one single sensor at a time, for one sensor type of all cargo tanks or for one sensor type of selected cargo tanks (similar to the alarm limit setting of Chapter 6.3.2). The subsequent three cases are for resetting and calibrating various pressure sensors.
6.4.7 Setup Cargo Temperature panel

This panel is activated by clicking on the <Setup Cargo Temp> command button in the Utility section of the Main Setup panel. The Setup Cargo Temperature panel shows a table of the cargo tanks and three different temperature sensors for each tank: low position, mid position and high position. For each tank there is a possibility to enter a manual value and / or to adjust the offset of the sensor signal. In case of defective temperature sensors, temperature values for specified sensors of one or several cargo tanks may need to be set manually. The system uses these values to e.g. correctly calculate and display averaged results. Optionally, it may be necessary to adjust erroneous sensor signals by adding offset values. When setting or adjusting values, the CLS system will range check all new entries. If an entered value is out of range, it must be modified to fall within range or it will not be entered into the system. Figure 41 shows an example of the setup panel for cargo temperatures. A

6.4.7.5
Adding offset to erroneous sensor values
The procedure of adjusting or adding offset values to temperature sensor signals is done in the same way as setting manual values. Offset values may be entered for a single temperature sensor, for one sensor location of all cargo tanks or for one sensor location of selected cargo tanks. Please confer with the three previous paragraphs for a detailed description. There are only two significant differences from the previous paragraphs: Value editing and entering is now performed on temperatures listed in one of the three offset columns: Temp Low Offset, Temp Mid Offset or Temp High Offset. The possibility to set values explicitly manual (checkbox toggle) is now removed; as there should be no need to add offsets to originally, manually set values.
6.4.8 Calibrate Cargo Inert Pressure panel

This panel is activated by clicking on the <Calibrate Cargo Inert> command button in the Utility section of the Main Setup panel. The Calibrate Cargo Inert Pressure panel shows a table of the cargo tanks, the inert gas pressures and inert gas pressure offset values organized in columns. In given situations it may be necessary to reset and / or to calibrate the various inert gas pressure sensors. For this purpose, there are two columns of command buttons included in the panel.
Reset command any potential, existing pressure offset value is nullified. Calibrate command a new offset value is added to the sensor signal. Figure 43 shows an example of the calibrate panel for cargo inert pressure.

6.4.8.1 Reset an existing offset value
Click on the <Execute> command button in the Reset column of a selected cargo tank. A small confirmation popup window will appear on screen, cf.: Figure 44. Press keyboard <Enter> or click on the OK button. Observe a value change in the associated Inert Offset column of the same cargo tank. The new value will read 0 null offset. Observe a value change in the associated Inert column of the same cargo tank. The new value will reflect the true sensor signal without any offset. Figure 44 shows the referred reset confirmation popup window:
