View Data

Plotting the condition as a single point on an X-Y graph provides a true

indication of the alignment status.

The offset and angle information is intended to be used as an alignment tol-

erance only (to determine how close the alignment is based upon the last

set of alignment readings); do not use these data to align the machines. For

this reason, offset and angle are always displayed as positive numbers.

The curves at the lower left are the tolerances to shoot for. Depending on

RPM, they can be modiﬁed in UltraMgr and then transferred to the ana-

lyzer.

The alignment condition (with respect to the tolerances) can be monitored

by observing the tolerance target during the live move. The bullseye means

you are within the excellent tolerance range. The middle band means you

are within the acceptable range, but outside the excellent range. The out-

side band means you are within 1x - 2x of the acceptable tolerance.

The example above shows that the alignment condition is in the acceptable

range.
