  • Page 65: Setting Up Measurements

    Chapter Setting Up Measurements This chapter describes setting up the measurement definitions in the Emonitor software, how alarms are handled, lists, and inspection codes. Measurement definitions define how to collect and store measurements. You can create several different types of measurement definitions at each location. The Emonitor software can then take advantage of the abilities of your data collector by combining some of the measurement definitions when you load them into the data collector.

  • Page 66: Measurement Definition Options

    For example, the Emonitor software can apply a software high pass filter to the data after it unloads the data from the Dynamix 2500 data collector. This lets you use a filter that is not available in the data collector.

  • Page 71 Orders filters, select Analog and Order normalize when you define the orders filters, then the data collector calculates the orders from an external trigger. The Dynamix 2500 data collector then uses its own filters to calculate the magnitude and phase for the first through the eighth orders. The Emonitor software calculates the magnitude values (without phase) for additional orders after you unload the data.
  • Page 72 Typically this filter maps to a specific high pass filter in the data collector and is available for magnitude, spectrum, and time waveform measurements. In the Dynamix 2500 data collector, it maps to the unit filters shown in the table below, depending on the results of comparing the filter choice to the formula below.
