on the same equipment, but they do not need to be sequential in the measurement point
list. Use the AMS Machinery Manager Route Management to add the measurement points
to a route.
When making a multi-channel measurement, the analyzer must display one of the channel
points. Data for each point is acquired simultaneously when that is possible.
Multiple measurements from a single sensor
The analyzer can acquire data on measurement points, even when the acquisition
parameters are different, using one sensor connected to both inputs. Set up the
measurement points as grouped points, the same way as regular dual points, but change
the points to use the same input.
Data collected simultaneously on the same sensor have the same date and time. This
allows both AMS Machinery Manager and the analyzer to display orbit plots. These plots
are not true orbits because the data is from a single sensor. True orbit plots are displayed
from data collected simultaneously using two or four inputs.
4.6 Collect route data
Prerequisites
• Attach the appropriate sensors to the top of the analyzer and the equipment
measurement point.
• Load a route into the analyzer.
• Activate the route.
• Ensure the route data collection and display parameters are set up properly.
Procedure
1.
From the Route Data Collection screen, press Enter to collect data for the displayed
measurement point.
The screen displays the number of averages remaining and the Overall value, if Analog
is selected. The data is automatically saved to the measurement point.
Note
To stop a measurement without saving data, press Reset. Press Enter to restart the
measurement.
2. Move your sensor to the next measurement point. If you enabled Point Advance Mode,
wait for the analyzer to select the next point, or press F7 Next Point or the up arrow to
go to the next point.
3.
After you collect the points for the first equipment, press F8 Next Equip to move the
next equipment in the route.
4. Repeat the steps above for all measurement points and equipment in the route.
