UdcConfiguration, UdcDef

The <UdcConfiguration> element of the XML configuration contains elements that define the UDC definitions where the CygNet Well Test Module will post well test values to well-known points. The UDCs for these points are configurable with the <UdcConfiguration> and <UdcDef> elements.

To learn about how these elements relate to other elements in a well test configuration XML structure, see Well Test Hierarchy.

Example

<WellTestConfiguration>

<UdcConfiguration>

<UdcDef name="WellInTest" udc="WTNAME" udc_desc="Well in Test" />

<UdcDef name="TimeInTestActual" udc="TMWTACT" udc_desc="Test Time Actual" />

<UdcDef name="Command" udc="WTCMD" udc_desc="Well Test Command" />

<UdcDef name="Action" udc="WTCMDACT" udc_desc="Well Test Command Action" />

<UdcDef name="Queue" udc="QUEUE" udc_desc="Well Test Header Queue" />

<UdcDef name="Result" udc="WELLTEST" udc_desc="Well Test Record" />

</UdcConfiguration>

</WellTestConfiguration>

UdcConfiguration

The <UdcConfiguration> element has one type of child element, <UdcDef>, and has no attributes.

Attribute Required Description

name

Yes

Specifies the nice name for the UDC. There are six possible UDC name types:

  • WellInTest — the well currently being tested. This type only applies to headers in "Host" mode.
  • TimeInTestActual — the time the well has been in this state. For example, if the well test sequence is purging, it measures how long it’s been purging. This value will get updated periodically based on the sleep timer.
  • Command — the command currently being processed. This only applies to headers in Host mode.
  • Action — the action currently being processed. This online applies to headers in Host mode.
  • Queue — the default header queue point
  • Result — the default point where well test results are saved. This can be overridden by the UDC in the Script action type.

udc

Yes

Specifies the UDC of each UDC type.

When you create a new configuration in the Canvas Well Test Configuration control six default UDCs will be provided. These default UDCs correspond to the UDCs used in the sample Canvas screens. You can choose to keep the same UDCs or specify others as necessary. The default UDCS are as follows:

udc_desc
