1 INTRODUCTION
After a major inspection an additional procedure is applicable regarding the start up of the gas
turbine. This document describes the necessary measurements and recordings to be conducted
after a major inspection.
This document can be used in combination with a Startup-Shutdown view2 file.
This document can be used for a duel fuel turbine with either an E starter motor or a diesel start
motor.

2 EXAMPLE VIEW2 FILES

The Speedtronic MK5’s operator interface is equipped with a trend recorder. The recorder is
named “view2”. This trend recorder uses a pre defined file with digital tags which corresponds
with the different measurement in the Speedtronic Panel.

 The predefined view2 file .DAT files are an example for an E motor start and a diesel
engine start.
 These predefined view2 files are made for gas fuel and liquid fuel
 The example view files are made for the startup and the shutdown of the turbine
 The view files shall be made on the IDOS or HMI < I >
 The name of the view file shall be “Startup.dat” for a startup and “Shutdown.dat” for a
shutdown of the gas turbine.

Execution of “VIEW2” trend recorder:

- Go to the DOS prompt / command mode.

- Make startup.dat file in editor using at least the mentioned tags in chapter 3. Store the
file in the F:\USER directory. If this map doesn’t exist, the command is F:\MD USER
<enter>.

- Type following command in the F:\USER map :

VIEW2 /UNIT=T1 /PROC=R /SCAN=4 /SAMPLES=9600 @STARTUP.DAT RESULT.DAT

- Now the measurement is started. The measurements can be halted by pressing one of
the keys.

- Transfer the RESULT.DATA to USB or Floppy. Chapter 4 will discuss the data
processing of the measurement.

- Adjustable parameters are:

1. Samples (how many measurements)

2. Proc (which processor to capture the data from, can also be S or T)
3. Unit , can also be unit 2 or unit x (especially when you have a multi <I> or HMI)
4. Scan rate, the amount of samples per 1 Hz, SCAN =32 result in 1 sec sample time
- Check manual GEH-5980C for further options.
