Configuring Well Test Using Canvas

The Well Test Configuration sample screen (Well Test Configuration.can) is a Canvas screen that can be used to easily load, configure, and save the XML required by the CygNet Well Test Module using a friendly user interface. The sample screen contains several Canvas controls, including a Text tool, Edit Box, Combo Box, Buttons, and a Well Test Control.

The Well Test Control (CygNet.API.WellTest.Controls.dll) is a plugin control assembly that is available for use in Canvas to allow the manual definition of the well test configuration XML file. This plugin provides a user-friendly method for defining the necessary elements required to execute a well test via a Canvas screen. Using the control assembly and a configuration screen you can easily define the following well test properties: Point Scheme, data retention value, relative facilities, UDCs, headers, wells in the well test, header templates, positions, commands, and associated actions for each command.

Perform the following steps to create the well test configuration XML.

  1. Start Canvas.
  1. Install and enable the CygNet.API.WellTest.Controls.dll plugin via the Backstage view.
  1. Open the Well Test Configuration.can sample screen.
  1. Run the screen (F5).
  1. Configure the path to the well test configuration XML.
  1. Select the source from the drop-down menu: Local, BSS, or Point
  2. Type the location of the XML in the Path text box.
Tip:
To avoid having to repeat this every time you open the file you can add the path in design mode and save the Well Test Configuration.can. See Customizing the Well Test Configuration Screen for information about modifying the source of the Well Test Configuration.can file.
  1. Click to Load the XML.
  1. Configure the Well Test Configuration using the three configuration tabs: General, Headers, and Templates. See the topics in this section to learn how to configure the various segments of the well test configuration XML.
  1. Click to Save the XML to the configured path. If the path is to a point, and it doesn't already exist, the point will be created, and the contents will be saved to the point’s PNT HyperPoint script text. You can also create a new file or point by changing the path.
  1. Once the well test configuration XML is configured, create your own well test screens to test the configuration. See Sample Well Test Screens and Scripts for more information about customizing the screens.
