How to visualize fingerprints

Visualizing fingerprints can be interesting to compare the fingerprint to current process behavior.

Use cases include:

  • Compare an ongoing transition to the ideal transition.
  • Compare a running batch to a defined golden batch profile.
  • Compare a running batch to a defined golden batch profile.

To visualize fingerprints in live mode, navigate to the fingerprint menu  and add the fingerprint of interest. There are two options available:

  • Add fingerprint 'At current time': the left side of the fingerprint corresponds to the current moment. Use this option to start monitoring a transition or batch run that is just beginning.
  • Add fingerprint 'At start of view': the left side of the fingerprint is aligned to the left side of focus. With the additional 'zoom to fit' toggle option, the focus is resized to match the length of the fingerprint (i.e. the full fingerprint is shown). Use this option to overlay a fingerprint on historical data, or to add a reference for a transition or batch run that is already in progress.

In the layer menu  the fingerprint can be shifted in time to align it with the beginning of a batch. With the four buttons indicated in the figure below, the fingerprint can be shifted. One can shift the fingerprint with a small shift  or a big shift  .
