VIBRODIAG 5 Main menu The instrument main menu contains four main items: Measure; Database, routes; VibroGuide and Setup. It is necessary to set/check the Setup item before further instrument use. It is necessary to define the measured places in detail in the Database, routes item, before measuring, and to create/choose a route for these places.
VIBRODIAG 5.1 Instrument setup Main menu Setup Instrument Language setup It is possible to choose from languages: Czech and English. The instrument will be supplied with German in the next update. Language selection is performed by tapping on the flag symbol.
VIBRODIAG 5.2 Sensor setup Main menu Instrument setup Sensor After preparing the instrument for measuring, it is suitable to enter (or check) the corresponding sensitivities of ICP sensors for both channels (A and B). Sensitivity of each sensor is marked on its upper part and is entered into relevant boxes, see fig. 5. For each channel, it is also possible to select a high pass filter with values 1 Hz, 3 Hz, or 10 Hz.
VIBRODIAG Fig. 8 Limits setup for channel A and B. 6 Database, routes Main menu Database, routes 6.1 Measuring places The instrument requires the following to be defined in order: Factory – Building – Machine – Place. Entering a new item is done by tapping on , deleting an item by selecting the cross icon.

VIBRODIAG 7 Measuring After measuring initiation, the filters will stabilize (ca. 5 s), if the measuring request is initiated immediately after turning on the instrument, then this time can extend to 22 s (the filters are stabilizing during this period). Filter stabilization is always performed in case a different route/place is chosen, with its own setup (range, limits, high pass).
VIBRODIAG 7.2 Analysis 7.2.1 Velocity analysis Main menu Measuring Analysis 1 Hz – 1 kHz velocity For each velocity analysis it is possible to use only one channel, see fig. 13b. After channel selection, the input signal is analysed, see fig. 13c. After process completion, the velocity frequency spectrum is displayed (fig.

VIBRODIAG The wizard in this case is informative and used for better orientation. The balancing result using the test weight does not depend on the wizard setup. It is possible to skip the wizard using Skip wizard and further the balancing continues as follows: First run: By selecting measurements and clicking on the forward arrow starts the rotating wheel vibration analysis in both channels.

Result: After evaluating the previous two steps, the position displacement of individual weights is calculated (Fig. 19b). Balancing process can return one step back, leave, save the result and store parameters.

VIBRODIAG 7.5 Bearing condition This function shows bearing condition in acceleration (plus additional information about vibration velocity). It is possible to save data for future use. There is implemented envelope method evaluation currently (measured in frequency band 500Hz...15kHz), but newer method (using concrete bearing fault frequencies evaluation) will be implemented soon.
