Introduction

Introduction
Osprey Connect provides a common user interface for establishing a real-time
connection across a multitude of sources. The source connections are driven by
various components, which control and monitor the connection and transfer status.
In addition, Osprey Connect allows users to map specific channels to be handled by
the application and optionally save and load settings for future use.

User Interface
The following sections will briefly discuss the layout of Osprey Connect user
interface.

Title Bar The title bar displayed at the top of the window provides information about the
currently selected source and connection status.

Toolbar Menu The toolbar menu, located at the top of Osprey Connect user interface, consists of
six icons. The four icons on the left enable you to perform the following:
• Create a new connection
• Load a previously saved connection and mapping settings
• Save connection and mapping settings
• Sanitize incoming data
About and Help icons are also displayed on the right of the toolbar.
Table 3-1 provides an overview of all icons available in Osprey Connect user
interface:

 User Interface

Status Bar The status bar, located at the bottom of the window, provides status information
about Osprey Connect transfer state and actions occurring internally.

Source Connection The Source Connection window allows users to connect to a source to receive data.
Window This window is composed of three sections: the source selection list, the source
details box, and the source connection form.
The source selection list is located on the left side of the window, under the label
Select a Source. This section is used to select a source to connect to. The Source
Details box is located below the source selection list. This section provides a
detailed description of the currently selected source. The source connection form is
located to the right of the source selection list. This section is used to enter
information about the currently selected source. The form will vary from source to
source.
Fig. 3-1 Osprey Connect Source Connection Window

Data Mapping and The data mapping and selection window enables users to select the channels that
Selection Window they would like to receive.
The application is capable of specifying the type of data that it supports (e.g. Logs,
Surveys, Risks), and optionally the particular channels that it wishes to process (e.g.
‘Hookload’, ‘Bit Depth’).

Using Osprey Connect 3-3

User Interface

Petrel, for example, only specifies the type of data that it supports, while other
applications specify both the type of data that they support and the specific
channels that they wish to process.

Mapping Channels The Data Requested by the Application grid enables you to map available data
Specifically Requested channels to the data requested by the underlying application. The Select from the
by the Application Available Data Items grid shows the compatible data channels available for mapping
to the requested data.

• • • • • •
Note: Applications which do not request specific channels (e.g. Petrel) will not
see this view. Instead, they will only see the Select Available Data view
described in “Selecting Additional or Available Data” on page 3-5.

Fig. 3-2 Mapping Data Requested by the Application

Each requested data can map to at most one available data channel. Osprey
Connect will try to map requested data automatically to the most compatible
available data channel. If a requested data is mapped to an available data channel,
the will appear in the mapped column of the row for the requested data. If the
requested data is not mapped to an available data channel, the icon will appear
instead.

3-4 Osprey Connect User Guide

 User Interface

When a requested data is selected, the available data channels grid will update to
show only compatible available data channels. If an available data channel is
mapped to the currently selected requested data, the check box in the map column
of its row will be selected. If an available data channel is mapped to a requested
data other than the one selected, its background color will be light grey instead of
white.

X To map a requested data to an available data channel

1 Select the requested data from the requested data grid.
This will update the available data channels grid to show only the available data
channels that are compatible with the selected requested data.
2 Find the appropriate available data channel.
3 Select the check box in the map column of the available data channel.

Sanitizing Data

Sanitizing Data
The Sanitize Data functionality enables you to correct a mismatch in naming
standards for units and/or channel codes. If the source and the real-time application
differ in the way they refer to a given unit or channel-code a sanitizing record can be
defined to fix the mismatch on incoming data.

X To sanitize data

1 Click the Sanitize Data icon located in the toolbar.

The Data Sanitizing window appears.
Fig. 3-16 Data Sanitizing

Code and Unit Sanitizing by both code and unit is used in the scenario where an individual
Sanitizing incoming channel has a different naming standard for both its code and unit than
what the real-time application expects. You can define a single record that would
correct the channel having the record’s code and unit.
1 Select Code & Unit Sanitizers from the drop-down list at the top of the
dialog.
2 Enter the mismatched Code.
3 Enter the mismatched Unit.
4 Enter the expected code in the Sanitized Code field.
