Starting the Application
There are no user credentials required to run the PipeIQ application. The only
instances a password is required is to establish administrator level communi-
cation with a FAAST device, to establish web browser communication with a
FAAST device or to unlock the buttons on the User Interface panel.
The administrator has full read/write capabilities within the application. It is
highly recommended that the administrator password is changed when con-
figuring a FAAST detector.
To start PipeIQ, select Start > Programs > PipeIQ > PipeIQ or double-click
on the PipeIQ icon on the desktop. The application opens and a new project
may be created or an existing project may be monitored or modified.
exiting the Application
To close the current project, but allow the application to continue running,
choose File > Close.
To quit the PipeIQ software completely, select the X at the upper right corner
of the application window, or select Exit from the File menu.
CreATinG A proJeCT
Typically, a project consists of a site with buildings, floors and devices. When
a new project is created, the Site, Building, Floor and Device objects are au-
tomatically created. These objects must be configured before designing the
pipe network.
To create a project, start the PipeIQ application and select File > New, or se-
lect the project icon at the upper left of the main PipeIQ window, as shown in
Figure 2. The New Project window opens, as shown in Figure 3.
In the File Name box, type the name chosen for the project and select Save. A
new PipeIQ project is created and displayed.
