Build a QA / QC Report

You can generate an html quality report which displays the quality indicators based on the data from a .xpf file.

The report is generated either by Delph INS Subsea (see procedure below) or via the command line:

xpfAnalyser.exe <path>fileInput.xpf <path>fileOutput.xpf

In command line mode, open the report by double-clicking directly on the output html file.

1. In the Variables panel, right click on the desired variable.
2. Select Build a QA/QC report. The Export data window is displayed.

3. In General, click on Source and select the file (e.g. *.xpf) to use for the report.

Click on Target and browse to select the output file in which to display the report.

4. Select the Period of exportation: enter a From and a To values.
5. You may select the Open the target file at the end of the process and / or the Close window at the end of the process options.

6. Click on the Start button to run the export. The export result is displayed in the export html file with data and graphics.

 

Details of the report

The report displayed as html file in the default browser shows the following information.

Standard information: quick information for basic user

> Systems & Applications: system serial number, alix version, etc…
> Aiding sensors: type of aiding sensors
> Acceptance criteria: the report uses the acceptance criteria from the parameter file. For each criteria, the requirement, the status and the measured ratio will be displayed with color:
Green: reliable data
Red: risk of no reliable data

Acceptance criteria values could be changed in the XpfAnalyzer.conf.xml file (see paragraph below)

> Alignment status
Green: reliable data
Red: risk of no reliable data
Yellow: lack of information

Advanced information: detailed information about the navigation, for advanced users.

> QA/QC Statistics
> Flags

Configuration for the report

Some data for the acceptance criteria can be configured. After opening the XpfAnalyzer.conf.xml file, you can modifiy the following criteria:

> <criterion id="NorthingSd" limit="1" unit="m" ratio="0.90"/>
> <criterion id="EastingSd" limit="1" unit="m" ratio="0.90"/>
> <criterion id="AltitudeSd" limit="2" unit="m" ratio="0.90"/>
> <criterion id="HeadingSd" limit="0.1" unit="\u00B0" ratio="0.90"/>
> <criterion id="RollSd" limit="0.01" unit="\u00B0" ratio="0.90"/>
> <criterion id="PitchSd" limit="0.01" unit="\u00B0" ratio="0.90"/>

 

<criterion id="NorthingSd" limit="1" unit="m" ratio="0.90"/> : this means that the value will be displayed in case of the Northing Standard Deviation is superior or equal to 1 m.
