Copy selected machine to the clipboard
Paste the machine at the end of the list. If the machine already exists, 3 digits are added in the name
Use this function if you want to change the name of the machine
Go back to “Measurement list” screen to take measurements
3.7.3 Create a new machine inside OFF_ROUTE
From OFF_ROUTE, measurement list screen:
Open the route explorer
If your are in a list of machine points, go up to next level to display the list of machines
Display additional functions
Create a new machine based on a measurement point template selection
The 3 tabs must be completed before to create the new machine:
Tab 1 – Machine definition:
Machine name: up to 20 characters. If the name already exists, a re-indexed name is proposed
when saving the new machine.
Machine short name: up to 12 characters.
Number of points per group: measurement points can be grouped by 1, 2, 3 or 4 for simultaneous
measurement.
3 points group type (only if 3 in the previous field):
o Ax, RH, RV (Triaxial on horizontal shaft): groups are created to be compatible with triaxial
measurement on an horizontal shaft using WLS sensor or a wired accelerometer (channels
2, 3 and 4 on connector B)
o AX, R=, R┴ (Triaxial on vertical shaft): same as above but with point direction compatible
with vertical shaft.
o Other (Meas. on ch 1, 2 and 3): simultaneous measurement on channels 1, 2 and 3
Number of groups: number of point groups to be created. Maximum value: 24.
Group name: first characters used to name group and point. Up to 10 characters.
Rotation speed measurement: select if a rotation speed is measured and how it is measured
o No (Rotation speed is fixed): Rotation speed is not measured.
o Tachometer: rotation speed is measured with a tachometer on connector C
o Keyboard: value is input by keyboard.
o DC: rotation speed is measured from a DC signal on connector A
Note: in any case, it is possible to adjust rotation speed with the stroboscope.
Rotation speed Unit: HZ or CPM
Sensitivity: mv/unit if DC input is selected to measure the rotation speed
Machine rotation speed: default value of the rotation speed if it is not measured.
Tab 2 – Point list edition: this tab displays the list of points to be created on the machine according to the
machine definition of tab 1. If some of them are not necessary, it is possible to unselect them.
Tab 3 – Template point: this tab is for the selection of the template point. The template point is selected
from OFF_ROUTE route or any other routes stored in the instrument. It is possible to unselect some of its
measurements. The selection is applied on all the points of the machine.
Note: a template route is supplied on the instrument CD (see§ 3.7.6).
From the 3 tabs, the function “Save” creates the new machine. “Cancel” exits with no creation.
