Handling Results

Latest results tab - Displays the results for the latest tightenings.

Search Results tab - Use the Search button to search for results between specific dates.

Pinned tab - For investigation.
A tightening result can temporarily be stored into the Pinned tab. This is useful for detailed analysis of a tightening, and prevents the tightening result to be dropped from the window as new results are received.

Live results tab - A controller sends tightening results to ToolsTalk 2 as soon as the task is completed, and the result is added to the top of the Live results. A limited number of results can be stored. When the list is full, the oldest result is dropped from the list.

Imported results tab - For viewing imported results.

Pinned - Holding area for investigation

Tightening results can temporarily be stored into the Pinned area. This is useful for detailed analysis of a tightening, and prevents the tightening result to be dropped from the window as new results are received.

Manually: On a result, select the Pin icon.

The tightening result is copied to the Pinned area for investigations. It is possible to pin several results to the temporary storage.
Automated: Select the Auto pin drop-down menu and enter number of results to be pinned. Select Start. The next incoming result will be pinned automatically, continuing until the entered number has been reached, or until pressing Stop.

Remove all results from the pinned area

To remove individual results, unpin it by selecting the Pin icon .

Live results

A controller sends tightening results to ToolsTalk as soon as the task is completed, and the result is added to the top of the Live results. A limited number of results can be stored. When the list is full, the oldest result is dropped from the list.

Each line in the list represents one task and can be a single tightening or a batch sequence, depending on the selected task. Expand the list to view a more detailed information about each tightening.

Use the arrows to expand the overview result to a more detailed result view or to collapse the view to only display the overview result.

Column	Description
Red bar	The leftmost position in the Live results table may contain a red bar icon , indicating erroneous tightenings for quick identification of errors. This corresponds to NOK.

Primary error	Primary error of why the result is NOK.
Failing Step	Indicates the number of the step that detected the first error in case of a NOK tightening.
Batch	The column is only displayed if the task is a batch sequence. The number indicates the order number of the batch within the batch sequence.
Batch count	The column is only displayed if the task is a batch sequence. The number indicates the order number of the tightening within the batch.
Angle and Torque results	Numeric value. Only shown if used as a target value or as a limit value.
Errors	Shows all errors.
Elapsed time	Time from tightening start to end.
Detailed status	For NOK results, additional information about the error is shown.

Result Reporter

The list shows the values from the result reporters. If there is a result reporter defined for a program monitor/restriction, the value from that monitor/restriction is reported. If there is no result reporter defined for a program monitor/restriction, the value from the latest executed step in main path with a reporter is reported.

Monitors / Restrictions results for multistep

Each step in the multistep tightening program reports data. Most of this data is coming from the monitors and restrictions that are active during the step, so the data is only reported if a monitor or restriction of the correct type is configured.

Step results
Step Result Parameter	Description
Step	The number of the step.
Status	Status of the step, OK or NOK.
Step type	Step type in the multistep program.
Step category	For each step, there is an option to choose a step category. These categories can be customized. By selecting step category, the NOK tightenings will be listed in the event result view with related detailed status together with the corresponding multistep error information. If no selection is made, the detailed status will be set to "uncategorized multistep error".
Primary error	Primary error of why the result is NOK.
Elapsed time	Time from tightening start to end.
Errors	Shows all errors.

Trace results

The Results workspace shows detailed and graphical information on one or several tightening results.

The tightening results are displayed in a collapsed list that can be individually or collectively chosen for further analysis in the Trace workspace.

Trace results graph

If the controller provides Trace results, a graphical view of the tightening can be displayed. On a result, select the Trace icon if it is active . If the trace icon is grey , then no trace data has been sent from the controller. A trace result must be sent from the controller. Trace configuration options are set in General menu when a tool configuration is selected in the Configurations section .

The tightening result is copied to the graph area for further investigation and the result graph is displayed. It is possible to view several tightening results as graphs simultaneously.

Trace settings/preferences	Description
Show limits	Limit values can be shown if they are used in the tightening program.
Show Min/Max	Show minimum or maximum measured value.
Peak Sync	Some curves may look the same, but are placed differently in the graph. This option creates an overlay of the curves and synchronizes their peak values.
Manual Sync
