OGI Sensitivity Check – LDARtools

What this report does

Produces one page per OGI (Optical Gas Imaging) sensitivity check performed within the selected date range. Each page shows the environmental and equipment conditions recorded at the time of the sensitivity check — including camera information, atmospheric conditions, the reference gas used, and the technician who performed the check.

Use this report to review or export the raw sensitivity check conditions for a period, independent of the full OGI Report survey cards. This report is in the OGI folder on the Reports tab.

When to use it

Reviewing sensitivity check conditions across all technicians and cameras for a date range.
Verifying that environmental conditions (temperature, wind, cloud cover) were within acceptable limits at the time of each sensitivity check.
Producing a complete log of sensitivity checks for audit or regulatory purposes.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required	How it filters
Start Date	Beginning of date window	Yes	Sensitivity checks on or after this date are included
End Date	End of the date window	Yes	Sensitivity checks on or before this date are included

No unit or regulation filter. This report returns all sensitivity checks in the database for the date range, regardless of which location units were surveyed.

Record fields

One page is generated per sensitivity check session. Each page shows:

Field	What it shows
Date & Time	Date and local time the sensitivity check was performed
Operator	Technician who performed the sensitivity check
Camera Make	Manufacturer of the OGI camera used (e.g., "FLIR")
Camera Model	Model of the OGI camera (e.g., "GF320")
Camera Serial #	Serial number of the OGI camera
Temperature (Deg. F)	Ambient air temperature recorded at the time of the check (°F)
Cloud Cover	Sky/cloud conditions recorded (e.g., "Clear", "Partly Cloudy", "Overcast")
Wind Speed (mph)	Wind speed recorded at the time of the check (mph)
Pressure (in Hg)	Atmospheric pressure recorded at the time of the check (in Hg)
Distance	Distance in feet at which the sensitivity check was performed
Flow Rate	Flow rate recorded at the sensitivity check
Contents	Gas mixture used for the sensitivity check (e.g., "propane")
Cylinder Type	Reference cylinder identifier used for the sensitivity check

What's included and excluded

Included:

All OGI sensitivity checks with a start time falling within the selected date range.
One page per sensitivity check, regardless of whether any inspections were performed during that session.

Excluded:

Sensitivity checks outside the selected date range.
No location unit or regulation filter is applied — all checks across all units appear.

How key values are calculated

Date & Time

The date and local time of the sensitivity check start. Time is expressed in the location unit's local timezone if the sensitivity check is associated with a location unit; otherwise the facility local timezone is used.

Ordering

Records are sorted chronologically by the sensitivity check start time.

Tips and common questions

"How does this differ from the OGI Report?" The OGI Sensitivity Check report shows one page per sensitivity check with no unit or regulation filter and no summary section. The OGI Report filters sensitivity checks by location unit and regulation and adds a summary section showing leaks, repairs, and DORs. Use this report when you need a raw log of all sensitivity checks; use the OGI Report when you need unit- and regulation-scoped documentation with a summary.
"A sensitivity check I know was performed is not showing." Confirm that the check's recorded date falls within the selected date range. Unlike the OGI Report, there is no unit-based filter that could exclude it.
"Contents shows a gas name (e.g., 'propane') — what does that refer to?" Contents is the gas mixture recorded in the sensitivity check record. It identifies the reference gas used to verify the camera's sensitivity before beginning the survey.
"Cylinder Type shows a long identifier string." This is the cylinder label or regulatory ID recorded on the reference cylinder used for the sensitivity check.
"The report comes back empty." No OGI sensitivity check records were found for the selected date range. Confirm that sensitivity checks were performed and entered in Chateau during the period.
"How do I focus the report on a specific unit or location?" The OGI Sensitivity Check report has no unit filter — it returns all sensitivity checks facility-wide for the selected date range. To focus on a specific unit or surveyor, export the report to Excel and filter by the relevant columns. Narrow the date range to limit the number of pages returned.
