Complementing System Studies'
full line of hardware products are several software applications that automate
and simplify cable pressurization system management and maintenance functions.
PressureMAP™, our flagship product, has evolved over the years into the
industry's most comprehensive and widely-used pressure system analysis,
alarming and dispatching software. Constantly improving in capability and
functionality, PressureMAP now monitors offices in every major U.S. telephone
company, as well as several international telcos and small independents.
It is equally adaptable for localized monitoring applications and for state-wide,
centralized surveillance centers.
But we didn't stop there. With OPAMICS™ we've tapped into the strength of PressureMAP, merged it with the impressive capabilities and flexibility of a leading relational database system, and implemented a web browser front end with Geographical Information System (GIS) referencing.

PressureMAP
PressureMAP™ is a powerful software program that was developed by System Studies Incorporated in the mid 1980s to improve the monitoring and management of cable pressurization systems. The first PressureMAP programs were DOS-based, single-user systems that provided prioritized task dispatching, system indexing, device histories and specific device information.
Today's Unix-based PressureMAP systems serve single users equally well, but are most cost effective when used in large, centralized monitoring applications. They are capable of reading a variety of central office monitors and virtually all types of monitoring devices. With installations in all major U.S. telephone companies as well as a growing number of international telcos, PressureMAP is the undisputed leader in performance-based cable pressurization system analysis and monitoring. The latest version of PressureMAP, Version 26, includes the new PressureWEB™ application, which brings important PressureMAP reports and functions to users via their favorite web browsers.

OPAMICS
The Outside Plant Asset Management and Integrity Control System (OPAMICS )™ is the next generation in outside plant surveillance and facilities management GIS tools. Built upon System Studies' highly respected PressureMAP cable pressurization monitoring system, OPAMICS provides company-wide, high performance access to mapping, report generation and geographic interface system (GIS) capabilities from anywhere in your organization.
OPAMICS utilizes an Oracle database and standard web browser to provide a variety of reports, graphs, and supplemental information about selected system assets, such as central office facilities, CEV huts, company vehicles and equipment, monitoring devices, etc. The program uses latitude and longitude information to define the physical location of sites, conduit(ducts), air pipes, and cables that connect the sites. An office map display in the web browser enables you to easily identify system components and access associated report information.
Most importantly, OPAMICS can be scaled to provide monitoring functionality for local, regional and company-wide applications. It also boasts an open architecture, which enables it to work optimally with virtually any type of monitoring equipment. For additional information about OPAMICS and its many capabilities and features, check out the links above.

PressureWEB
PressureWEB™ is a html-based software application that is included with shipments of PressureMAP Version 26.00 and above. With PressureWEB MAP System users have the ability to view important system information and reports over the Internet via a standard web browser. This new capability significantly streamlines and simplifies the process of accessing key PressureMAP information and performing specific actions.
Among the reports available in PressureWEB are two PressureMAP Office Listings (All Offices and My Offices) and a Device Status by Pipe Report with multiple view options (e.g. View by Device, by Alarm, by Location, by TDs Not Reading, etc.). When you click on an office name from the office listing, the Device Status report for the office is displayed. Using a Setup feature, it is possible to select the type of default Device Status view you desire. In addition to these reports, PressureWEB also provides links for Specific Device Information, System Quality Index (by Office and by Route), Realtime Readings, and Pair Diagnostics (for 289H LSS-monitored offices only). Monitoring devices that are in alarm status (starred and routine PressureMAP Alarms) are hyperlinked to individual pop-up windows that display pertinent Alarm Condition information.
If you're interested in finding out more about PressureWEB or would like to view a working application, give us a call at (800) 247-8255 / (831) 475-5777 or send us some email.

Leak-o-Matic
Several years ago System Studies developed a unique software utility, called the Leak-o-Matic Gizmo™, to provide assistance during leak locating. This application can be installed on a Windows PC or laptop to give you instant access to cable pneumatic resistance information, leak locating equations, pressure graphs and transducer reading conversions.
Not only is using the Gizmo a big time-saver, it helps you to develop a working familiarity and reliance with the most widely used and successful cable pressurization leak locating formulas: the zero leak projection, the back projection, and the air flow calculation.
Click on the links above to download the Leak-o-Matic Gizmo and installation documentation and put the Gizmo to work today! Please note that in some cases, however, it may be necessary to download the VBRUN300.DLL file first and save it into your C:\Windows\system32 directory. (If your Windows operating system does not have a system32 folder, save the file in the C:\Windows\system directory.) This procedure is required if your operating system encounters difficulty when installing the downloaded Leak-o-Matic application.
Please contact System Studies at 800-247-8255 if you need assistance with the Leak-o-Matic.

PressureMAP Server
As the next step in the evolution of the PressureMAP product, PressureMAP Server™ utilizes a more robust computer platform (HP-UX computer) and different operating system (HP-UX11i or Linux) than does PressureMAP. PressureMAP Server also makes use of an Oracle relational database, which provides the capability of monitoring a much larger number of offices (1250 versus 250) than is possible with a single PressureMAP system.
Another key difference between the two programs is PressureMAP Server's requirement for a separate application web server. The web server contains a browser-accessible Java Server Page (JSP) for: 1) defining an access level tree structure for offices, and 2) establishing Oracle database Report Users.
In most other respects, such as overall PressureMAP software functionality, and menu structure, PressureMAP Server is identical to the 250-office PressureMAP system. It provides the same type of sophisticated analysis, dispatching and alarming, and its office and device data entry requirements are the same. The Oracle database, however, makes it possible to: 1) accommodate PressureMAP Server's larger database requirement, 2) more easily generate and manipulate reports, and 3) integrate PressureMAP data with other applications.

System Status Viewer
This simple application enables you to monitor the status of a PressureMAP system to confirm that the system is up and running continually throughout the day and night. A System Status message can be generated for one, several, or all PressureMAP systems in use within a telephone operating company.
This message is displayed via the System Status Viewer, which is accessible from a standard web browser. It provides a simple user interface to "system up" information. By going to the web site that hosts the application, you can view the status of each PressureMAP system that reports to it. Status information is displayed in individual table cells which are further identified using four background colors. A green colored cell indicates that a system has not sent its heartbeat message within the last 44 minutes. Yellow indicates that between 45 and 59 minutes have transpired since the last message was received, and orange represents an elapsed time between 59 and 75 minutes. A cell with a red background is potentially the most serious condition—indicating an elapsed time of 75 minutes or greater.
In order to utilize the System Status Viewer, PressureMAP machines must first be set up to send their System Status message to a central server through TCP/IP socket connection. The System Status Viewer application must also be installed on a central server, where it then can be accessed via a web browser to view System Status notification on a realtime basis.
