MALMS Office Data Analysis System, which is normally run on a PC located in the Airport office, provides for the data storage, extensive analysis and reporting of the results of the photometric testing undertaken by MALMS Mobile or MALMS Static. Users can access the database of results, and view the measurements in a variety of formats. This enables them to review overall lighting performance, assess individual fitting performance, differentiate between beam intensity and orientation problems and then produce priority repair and general maintenance reports.

More specifically the system provides;

•  A Course Summary Chart provides a graphical summary (for senior management or Regulatory Authority) of the performance achieved by a defined section of AGL lighting over a defined period (typically 3 months).

•  A Course Detail Chart defines the performance of each individual fitting on the latest (or other user defined) survey date. As well as a visual indication of overall performance, this identifies, for airfield staff, where substandard fittings are located.

•  Isocandela Diagrams, which draw from data collected during routine survey runs, show visually both beam orientation and beam intensity, either for all fittings or those listed on the repair report. This information can be used to differentiate between different types of fault (such as low light output and poor alignment) and hence define maintenance requirements. Isocandela Diagrams for both sides on two dates can be displayed alongside each other to show the difference between the two. This provides a visual indication of changes in fitting performance and effectiveness of planned work activity.

•  Location History Chart is a bar chart of average intensity for one or both sides of user specified fitting over time. This provides visual indication of trends in individual fitting performance.

•  The Repair Report is a list of fittings that, on the last survey run, were below a user defined standard. Normally the standard would be set in line with the failure level defined by the Regulatory Authority (i.e. 50% of ICAO Standard) and thus fittings listed on the Repair Report would be classed as priority repairs.

•  The Maintenance Report is a list of fittings that, on the last survey run, were below a user defined standard. Normally the standard would be set to ensure that a maintenance visit is undertaken before performance falls below the failure level defined by the Regulatory Authority.

•  The Alignment Report is a list of fittings that have been consistently out of alignment since a user defined date.
