Pulsar vB Getting Started

Pulsar vB - Getting Started
The Pulsar vB instrument has two states of basic operation: -
• Stop State
• Record State
Whilst the instrument is in the Record State the vibration activity is analysed
and all parameters available on your instrument are calculated.
The captured data is saved to the internal flash memory and can be viewed
onscreen or downloaded to vibration analysis software Pulsar vBPlus or Pulsar
vBPlus LITE as and when required.
Whilst the instrument is in the Stop State, calculations are displayed on screen
but are not stored in flash memory.
Exposure Points are only available at the end of a recording or when viewing a
saved recording. The option to display Exposure Points must also be set to On.
During Stop State it is possible to change the Settings and undertake Calibration
of the instrument.
Stop State and Record State can easily be distinguished: -
