Once you have created your machine structures and assigned
parameter sets to the measurement locations, you can take recordings.
To do this:
1. Connect your sensors to the appropriate measurement locations.
2. Set up the tachometer (if you are taking tachometer readings).
3. Ensure the folder containing the machines you want to monitor is
selected — The name of the currently selected folder will display on
the main menu beside the Folders feature.
NOTE: To select a different folder, press Folders & USB Export
> Use the arrow keys to select the required folder > Press . This
loads the folder and all its machines into current memory and
returns you to the main menu.
4. Press Record Review to display the machines in the selected
folder.
5. Press Save (if required).
MORE: See Recording Save Options.
6. Use the arrow keys on the left to scroll up and down > Press
Expand Navigator repeatedly to expand a machine so its points
and locations display.
7. Highlight the parameter set you wish to record.
TIP: If you want to record all parameter sets at a location, highlight
the location — The recordings will be taken in the order in which
they appear on your instrument.
