The Event Trace module of the Protector allows you to select a node or nodes
00:09
and conduct a trace algorithm to determine the extent of contamination from a selected source node or nodes at a specific time.
00:19
Once the Event Trace simulation is run, all pipes and nodes that contributed flows to the selected node are displayed.
00:28
In this example, you trace poor quality found in a network after a customer complaint.
00:34
First, double-click the desired project .aprx file to open ArcGIS Pro.
00:42
Once the project starts, click the InfoWater Pro tab to open the InfoWater Pro ribbon.
00:49
In the Project panel, click Initialize.
00:53
Start by running a simulation for the current scenario.
00:57
On the InfoWater Pro ribbon, in the Analysis panel, click Run to open the Run Manager.
01:05
Click Run to run the simulation and create an output for the current scenario.
01:12
Close the Run Manager.
01:14
You can now access the Protector.
01:18
On the ribbon, in the Project panel, click Apps.
01:22
From the Apps Manager, select Protector, and then click Run to open the Protector app.
01:30
Switch to the Event Trace tab.
01:33
First, identify the source of the event.
01:39
Under Step 1, make sure that Domain is selected, and then click Edit Domain.
01:44
In the Domain Manager, click Clear to clear any previous selections.
01:50
Select Selection Set as the Element Source, and then use the drop-down to select the POOR_QUALITY_NODE selection set.
02:00
Click Add, and then Close to exit the Domain Manager.
02:06
Back on the Event Trace tab, click Select Time.
02:10
In the Select Time dialog, use the slider to set the Desired Time to 06:00 hrs—the time of the complaint in this example.
02:21
Click OK, and then click Trace.
02:25
Under Step 2, you determine the area affected by the poor water quality source.
02:32
Notice that after running the trace, source 2306 now appears in the Source(s) Identification box.
02:41
Select the 2306 source, so that it is highlighted in blue.
02:47
Under Affected Customers, use the Selection Set drop-down to select AFFECTED_FACILITIES.
02:56
Click Run.
02:57
The poor quality source and ensuing poor quality junctions now appear in red in the network map.
03:05
You can change this color, if desired.
03:08
Click Reset Map to return the map to the initial condition.
03:12
Click Close to exit the Protector.
