Requirements
Before starting a measurement, check the following requirements:
- Measurement settings in the Route Setup (p. 2-17): the 'Use triax
sensor' option is enabled (see below).
- Route Runtime Setup (p. 3-18): Option 'Use default sensor' must
be disabled, and option 'Measurement channel' must be set to
'Auto'.
- The '2 channels' firmware module (VIB 5.381) must be
registered.
Starting a measurement with a triaxial sensor
• Mount the triaxial sensor on the machine.
For evaluation later on, note down the relationship of the sensor
axes to the measurement direction on the machine (e.g. X =
radial horizontal, Y = radial vertical, Z = axial).
• Connect the triaxial sensor to the measurement devcie according
to the following diagram (see also previous page).
• Open the route and select the triaxial measurement location.
In the tree/list view, triax locations are identified by an icon that
indicates the sensor axes. The other two associated measurement
locations are automatically highlighted (s. below).
• Click on the measurement location to display the tasks.
The measurement tasks for the X and Y directions are, where
possible*, grouped to a 1+1 measurement and are measured
simultaneously on channels A and B. The measurement task for
the Z direction is measured separately on channel B.
• Click on the measurement task to start the measurement in the
X and Y directions. After the measurement in X and Y directions,
the measurement location for the Z-direction is shown.
• Click again to start the measurement in the Z direction.
