6.1 Analyze overview
The Analyze program lets you collect data to troubleshoot a problem. You can collect data
for a route point, or create a job that is not associated with a route. Collect data using
predefined measurements called Analysis Experts or create your own measurements in
Manual Analyze.
Each Analysis Expert, such as a Bump Test, has a set of predefined parameters to minimize
setup. The parameters can include Fmax, averaging, and lines of resolution. The
parameters should be appropriate for most measurements. In Manual Analyze, you must set
up all the parameters for your measurements.
Note
For best results, collect route data and use a cursor to mark a frequency in the spectrum before
running an Analysis Expert.
To use the Analyze or Advanced Analyze program:
1.
Create a job, open a job, or open Analyze from a route measurement point. You must
use a job or open Analyze from Route to save your data.
2. Set up the sensors or tachometer.
