Introduction

This guide describes how a test can be set up using the STREAM Concept and can be carried out using the STREAM Library.

Overview

Step

Description

Create a Testdefinition

A Testdefinition describes the procedure of a test. This is an XML document that can be created using the Testdefiner.

Start a New Test

Choose a Testdefinition and create an empty test.

Perform Setup phase

Enter the data required in the setup phase, as general project and test information and coordinate systems, sensor locations and sensor calibrations.

Perform Measurement phase

Enter the data required in the measurement phase, meter readings.

Perform Analysis phase

Perform calculations on measurement data.

Perform Report phase

Collect measurement and analysis data and present them.

Perform Filing phase

Store the results.

Demo STREAM Library

An example of these steps (except the first and last), can be found in ExecuteVelocityTest.m in subfolder 'Demo'.
Debugging this demo gives insight in the different functions of the STREAM Library.

Miscellaneous

Step

Description

Install the STREAM Library

Installing the software on a system.

Configure the STREAM Library

Some variables can be set to a default value.

Create a Plot Frame

Most companies report their data within a specified frame.

Create a Plot Layout

For a type of test or a group of tests a plot layout can be created in which the data can be plot very easily during the test.

Coordinate Systems and Locations

Transducers are placed on a certain location, relative to a coordinate system.

Calibrations

Transducer readings can be converted to physical values by defined Calibrations.
