in memory and can be reviewed on the instrument, printed out on
the optional portable thermal printer, or downloaded to a
personal computer (PC) through a standard RS-232 serial cable.
Rotor Track-and-balance Operations - The track-and-balance
menus are designed to simplify taking multiple measurements
without having to change the setup. The user can acquire and
save balance readings, in inches per second (IPS) and clock
angles.
The user can also track up to seven helicopter blades, using the
Honeywell Model 135M-12 Strobex Tracker.
Spectrum Analysis - Vibration peaks listed by frequency or
order are available up to 24,000 RPM (600,000 for V2K+). The
lists are based on 400-line fast Fourier transform (FFT)
calculations. As with all measurements, the lists can be saved,
reviewed, printed, or transferred to a PC.
The user can save the complete spectrum and view it with a
standard spreadsheet or with one of Honeywell's ground-based
software packages. Up to twelve orders and associated half-
orders can be listed.
