2.1.2 Compare
This function is used to compare two signatures to determine if there has been a change in the perfor-
mance of the valve or actuator. When Compare is selected it opens to the default directory, which is set
in the Set Default directory… command.
Three comparisons are made; Position, Friction, and Balance (balance pressure). When comparing
signatures, Flowserve ValveAnalysis will automatically verify that the signatures have the same starting
and stopping point. If not, a comparison cannot be made between the two signatures. Easy-to-follow
instructions on the screen will step the user through the process. First, select a baseline file, then select
a second signature for comparison.
2.1.3 Set Default Directory…
This sets the default storage file for storing or retrieving signatures. Note the different file extensions
the different types of signatures.
