Non-Intrusive Instrument

[Ray_K]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create a custom Instrument that has 1 port? It is similar to a pipe support. A non-intrusive Pig Signaler, it is only strapped to the pipe as shown on photo below not welded. The custom instrument need to be BOM reported and with a bubble tag.

Hi Ray,

I used to work with this kind of instrument. You still need 2 ports. but the port will have the same position, just in different direction:

    s.setPoint((0,0,0),(0,0,1))
    s.setPoint((0,0,0),(0,0,-1))
