ABSTRACT:
The operational performance of a fluid storage and dispensing system is monitored by measurement apparatus which measures a volume associated with the system. A plurality of measurement data is collected from the measurement apparatus in a form readable by a computer and is stored in a compressed matrix format in a computer memory. The compressed matrix format is statistically analyzed to determine operational monitoring information regarding the system. The collected measurement data may also include error data resulting from the measurement apparatus. The method and apparatus permits precise monitoring of the operational performance of the fluid storage system without requiring presumptions as to the accuracy of the measurement apparatus.
