5.6.4 Creating measuring configuration 
This chapter explains how to create a measuring configuration for 
a measurement location in the VIBCONNECT RF system, using the 
OMNITREND software. A measuring configuration contains infor-
mation regarding
• the measuring tasks
• the time intervals at which measurements are to be performed
• the measurement location assigned to a sensor unit
• the associated bridge.
Measuring tasks
• Select a measurement location. 
Note
Always observe the channel assignment: 
Channels 1 and 2 are reserved for vibration measurements;  
channels 3 and 4 are reserved for temperature measurements  
(see also '5.4.4 Connecting sensor unit', page 45).
• In the main menu, select <Machinery Manager> / <Add> / 
<Measuring Task>.
• In the measuring task dialog, activate option <Select Setup  
Directly>. 
• Select the applicable measuring task and click the <Next> button.
• In the next window, click the <Create> button.
• If you wish to set up another vibration measuring task, repeat 
the above steps (max. 4 tasks per measurement location).
• For the calculation of the characteristic vibration values, define 
the respective band analysis in the alarm wizard.
Installation and commissioning
The characteristic values 
are calculated from 
a spectrum by means 
of “band analyses”
