Channel Alarm

Leave either limit blank if it is not needed. The card remains highlighted until the value returns inside the configured range. Alerts occur once per crossing and re-arm after the value returns to normal.

Proppant Pumped Alarms

Percentage of the selected stage's Sand Total (lbs)

Enable up to three thresholds. Each alarm sounds once when its percentage is reached and re-arms if the pumped percentage drops below that threshold.

Beckmann Frac Plotter Help

Quick, task-based instructions · v1.4.5

Quick start

  1. Open data.
    Choose Open Folder for a folder of sequential CSVs or Open Files for one or more selected files. The default Treatment, active Chemical, and Sonic Strap plots load automatically.
  2. Choose the timeframe.
    Use the Time Window sliders, drag across a plot or its time-label band, choose Live 30 min, or restore Full Range.
  3. Review and report.
    Inspect hover values and statistics. Mark Start/End Frac when needed, generate the Frac Stage Report, and export the required files.

Your CSV data stays on this computer. The application runs locally in the browser.

1. Load data

  • Open Folder loads every file ending in .csv in the selected folder. With Live Data enabled, it watches for new files and appended rows.
  • Open Files loads one or more selected CSVs. Live Data can also reread a selected file that is actively growing.
  • The importer automatically detects channel-table ASCII exports and timestamp/channel/value buffer CSVs. Files with changing channel counts or order are aligned by channel name.
  • The Live Data checkbox pauses or resumes monitoring. The ↻ button immediately reloads the current source. Chrome or Edge provides the strongest folder-access support.
  • Clean data repairs invalid Sonic Strap telemetry/dropouts and removes short chemical ghost spikes. Turn it off to inspect raw readings. Real gaps between files remain blank instead of being connected by a false line.
  • For OneDrive or another cloud-synced source, keep the selected folder available offline. Temporarily locked files are retried automatically.

2. Build the plots

  • Opening data automatically loads the standard Treatment channels, chemicals active in the current window, and active Sonic Straps. The three colored buttons rerun those selections at any time.
  • Search or filter the sidebar channel list, check a channel, then assign it to P1 Treatment, P2 Chemicals, or P3 Sonic Straps. The Alias filter shows every renamed channel.
  • Use ＋ Add channel above any plot to search all unplotted channels without returning to the sidebar. Channel chips wrap onto additional rows when needed.
  • Click a channel chip to edit its alias, choose a preset or full-palette color, select its axis mode, or remove it. Aliases are used by searches, color-name rules, Sonic Strap classification, and report matching.
  • Shared combines compatible channels, Separate gives a channel its own scale, and Inverted reverses the vertical direction. Drag a trace to reposition its scale; double-click it to reset.
  • Save and load named Treatment and Chemical templates to switch setups quickly. Settings and templates remain in that browser until reset or imported elsewhere.

3. Navigate and inspect

  • Move the Start and End sliders, or drag horizontally across a plot or the date/time label band, to focus on a timeframe. Full Range restores all data.
  • Live 30 min follows the newest rolling 30 minutes. Set Future minutes to reserve blank space where incoming samples will appear.
  • Hover near a trace to snap a bright marker to the closest point and show the timestamp and all channel values. The tooltip stays offset from the pointer and flips left near the right edge.
  • Drag a trace vertically to adjust its axis scaling; double-click it to restore automatic scaling. Spike-resistant auto-scaling ignores isolated noise.
  • In the standard workspace, scroll the full window to reach all plots, statistics, and reports. Use the eye buttons to hide or restore a plot, the separators between plots to change their relative heights, and the lower handle to resize the combined plot area.
  • Treatment View locks Plot 1 and Plot 2 into the screen for operations. Drag their separator to reallocate height, open or hide the left controls, and use Hide Controls to lock Plot 1 to the top while retaining the Beckmann logo.
  • The FRAC matched-well box compares Treating Pressure with zipper pressures. When a Pump Down PSI, PD PSI, or similar channel independently matches a zipper pressure, a second PUMP DOWN box appears to its right. Each badge adopts a recognized color word—such as Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Purple, Pink, Cyan, Teal, Gold, Brown, or Gray—from its display-only box name, channel alias, or source name. Click either box to review its source or save a display-only name; the two box names are stored independently and do not rename source channels.
  • 📷 Snip Plot opens the currently visible plots in an additional live-updating window. Full Screen maximizes the main application.

4. Live Values and alarms

  • In Treatment View, choose Live Values to show or hide the numeric sidebar. The plots shrink to make room; the panel never covers the graph.
  • Cards show the newest value at the latest loaded timestamp. Drag a card by its handle to rearrange it. The order is saved in this browser.
  • Choose ＋ Add value to add any loaded channel, including a channel that is not plotted. Selecting an existing value brings its card into view.
  • Click a card’s bell to enable an alarm and enter a minimum, maximum, or both. Leave an unused limit blank.
  • Choose Voice announcement, Tone, or Mute. A triggered card turns red and pulses. The alert occurs once per threshold crossing and re-arms only after the value returns inside the limits.
  • Alarm settings follow the original source channel even when an alias changes. Additional cards can be removed without deleting their channel or alarm configuration.

5. Optional remote Treatment View stream

  • The optional Stream button appears only in Treatment View when remote sharing is enabled. It creates a private, read-only link for the rendered Treatment and Chemical plots.
  • Enter the operator access key, choose a 2, 8, 12, or 24-hour expiration, and select Start Sharing. Copy the private link or scan its QR code.
  • While active, the app uploads one current plot image approximately every 10 seconds. Each update replaces the previous image; it does not create a growing archive.
  • Only the rendered plot image is uploaded. CSV files, saved aliases, alarm settings, templates, browser permissions, and report data stay on the operator computer.
  • Use Update Now for an immediate refresh. Use Stop Sharing to delete the active session and image. Sharing also stops when Treatment View is closed.
  • If Stream is not required, set remotePlotSharingEnabled to false. The Cloudflare Worker, routes, and this marked Help section can be removed independently from the plotting application.

Treat every stream link like a temporary password. Share it only with the intended viewer and stop sharing when the operation is complete.

6. Generate a frac report

  1. For a precise stage interval, click Start Frac and then a plot timestamp; repeat with End Frac. Pumpdown markers are optional. Without Frac markers, Generate Report uses the currently visible time window.
  2. Click Generate Report. The app compares Treating Pressure with loaded Zipper pressures to determine the likely well, loads that well’s saved report preferences, and captures the currently visible plots.
  3. Verify the Pressure Summary, ISIP source, stage totals, calculated liquid usage, Sonic Strap usage, excluded channels, deliveries, and guessed reconciliation pairs. Hide or include questionable channels as needed.
  4. ISIP uses the matched well’s Zipper pressure and the closest visible slurry-rate channel. Shut-in defaults to rate below 1 BPM and averages ±10 seconds; these settings and report decimal controls are adjustable.
  5. Enter the report well name and stage number. Export Report downloads a standalone HTML report with the captured plot image embedded at the bottom; it can be archived, printed, or saved as PDF. Choose Close Report when finished to remove it and restore the previous plot layout.

7. Statistics and exports

  • The statistics table recalculates for the visible time window and selected channels. It includes Min, Max, Average, Samples, and Used Gal for applicable gallon channels.
  • Sonic Strap calculations ignore invalid readings below 150 gal so missing telemetry does not become a false zero. Possible tank deliveries are flagged and can be included manually.
  • Report sections have independent decimal controls where operationally useful. Reconciliation variance is displayed to one decimal place.
  • Export CSV saves visible-window statistics; Save PNG saves all visible plots.
  • For the 9 × 9 layout, click a grid cell and then a statistic. Shift-click two cells to select a rectangle, then copy the selection into Excel. Named layouts can be saved and restored.

8. Settings, privacy, and troubleshooting

  • Export Settings backs up aliases, colors, plot templates, well-report preferences, hidden/included channels, numeric layouts, Live Values order, and alarm settings. Import Settings transfers them to another browser or computer.
  • Factory Reset requires verification and clears only this app’s browser-saved settings. It does not delete source CSVs, exported reports, or the application files.
  • CSV processing remains local in the browser—even when the static application is hosted on a domain. Browser settings are local to that browser profile unless exported and imported.
  • If monitoring stops, grant folder/file access again. If Snip Plot does not open, allow pop-ups. Hard-refresh after deploying a new version.
