Section 10 — Create, Edit, and Delete Items
195
The table provides more detail on the components of the data storage
structure on your instrument.
Folder
This is used to group and identify machines.
EG: If you collect vibration data from several
factories, you should use a different folder to hold
each factory's machines.
Route
This is a sequential list of machine measurement locations
you follow when taking recordings.
Point
A point represents the position on a machine where a
measurement will be taken.
EG: Drive end or driven end.
Location
Also known as axis, this refers to the direction a sensor is
facing when you place it on a machine.
EG: Horizontal, vertical, tangential.
Because you can vary the direction (location) of the sensor
with each new recording, each machine point can have
several locations.
Parameter
set
This defines a list of measurement parameter values used
to take a recording. Because parameter sets are stored in
the instrument, they can be retrieved and reused. This saves
time when you are taking large numbers of identical
recordings.
You can identify parameter sets by their parameter value
summaries (e.g. accel 400 ms or veloc 1000 Hz).
Recording
This is the data you collect at a particular location on a
machine.
You can identify recordings by their date/time stamps.
NOTE: Routes, folders, machines, points, and locations are
identified by the names you give them.
