4.3.9 Enable or disable multi-channel group data collection
Keep this option enabled, unless you cannot collect the route data due to a problem with
your multi-axis sensor or multiple sensors. For example, use this option if a route is set up
to use a triaxial accelerometer, but the sensor is unavailable. Disabling multi-channel
groups lets you collect the data with a single one-axis sensor on input A (channel 1).
Only groups set up with multiple channels can be unlinked. Groups with points set up with
channel 1 for a vibration measurement and an additional PeakVue measurement on the
same channel are not unlinked.
Procedure
1.
Activate a route.
2. From the Route Data Collection screen, press ALT > F1 User Setup > ALT > F2 Multi
Channel Groups.
Press F2 Multi Channel Groups to enable or disable the option. The default is Enabled.
4.3.10 Display a summary of data collected for grouped
measurement points
After you collect data for grouped points, a summary page displays an overview of the data
collected. You can change how long the summary page displays before returning to the
route.
When the group status information is displayed and you use the arrow keys to select a
point, press the Enter key to go to that point within the group.
Procedure
1. Activate a route.
2. From the Route Data Collection screen, press ALT > F1 User Setup > ALT > F3 Group
Status Timer.
3. Enter a number between 0 and 30 seconds.
A 0 disables this feature. The default is 10 seconds.
4. Press Enter.
4.3.11 View or hide warning alarms on the Route Data
Collection screen
Warning alarms include baseline ratio (Br), maximum deviations (Bs), and weak side
(Lo/Hi) alarms. You can hide warning alarms during data collection. Even though the
alarms do not appear on the screen, all alarms are saved with the measurement and are
transferred to AMS Machinery Manager database. Even if you disable Warning alarms, the
Fault and Alert parameter alarms are enabled and display during data collection.
