8. It is also reasonable graphically to prepare the data and to compare the results for a better overview concerning the noise level development at the particular logger locations Furthermore the leakage status which results from the evaluation of the measurement data must be visualized for the operator s convenience Q In order to meet all these requirements to support the operator and to implement the evaluation processes F A S T GmbH has developed the AZA100 software This software backs the evaluation and saving processes of the measurement data acquired by the radio loggers and accepted by the receiver through graphical administration and data analysis support So the software allows managing the logger locations with maps with these maps being divided into several logical areas e g to separate different pressure zones on a map from each other The network operator or service provider can then determine the locations for the loggers in these areas or pressure zones and allocate the measurement data to the particular logger locations 1 2 Chapters This manual has 4 chapters After this Introduction you will find 1n Chapter 2 an overview of the various functions and components of the AZA100 programme In Chapter 3 the single menu positions and the particular sub menus are explained Chapter 3 also presents the Project Assistant and the Database Assistant and it deals with the settings required to read out the data sav
