How to Set Up your GX Series Microlog 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] Module Objective(s) To instruct the new GX Series Microlog User on how to set the Microlog’s “system” settings and “global measurement” parameters 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] Two General “Setup” Screens Setup Mode for System Settings 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] Configuration Screen for Global Measurement Settings Setup Mode - “System” Settings 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] Setup Screen Fields • • Right arrow to open field • Left arrow, or Enter button to accept change and close field Up/Down arrow to select new setting apply new settings 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] “Setup” Fields Route Memory – Internal or Card Timeout - min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, or Off IrDA – Disabled or Enabled (for use with ActiveSync operations) Baud Rate – for serial communications / must match MA Flow Control – Off or Hardware Default Units – English or Metric (e.g., in/sec or mm/sec) Date Format – DD/MM/YYYY; MM/DD/YYYY; YYYY/MM/DD Time Zone – for use with ActiveSync operations Date / Time - set current date and time 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] “Setup” Fields (continued) Memory – Delete All Routes or Initialize • Delete All Routes - preserves your system preferences, but deletes ROUTE and non-ROUTE measurements and data • Initialize - erases all stored data, but preserves the system settings and parameters and also refreshes the active memory if the Microlog is experiencing memory related problems Purge Cache – On or Off • On - quickest resetting of ROUTE data, but requires more Microlog memory • Off – select Off if memory issues exist Route Font – Big or Small (Small setting displays hierarchy level icons) Language - select language for GX Series Microlog displays 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] Configuration “Global Measurement” Settings both ROUTE and Non ROUTE provide access to Config settings 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] “Config” Fields Freq Units – Hz, CPM, or Orders Fast Averaging – On or Off • On – display is updated as often as possible • Off – only final averaged spectrum displays Auto Advance – On or Off (display spectrum during ROUTE collection?) • On – quickly advance through ROUTE data collection without displaying spectral results • Off – display the resulting spectrum for each spectral measurement Aquisition – Single Shot or Continuous (stop measurements after averaging process, or repeat measurements until Enter is pressed) 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide [Code] SKF [Organisation] “Config” Fields (continued) Input Range – Auto or Manual (set amplitude range scaling method) • Auto –automatically scales optimal amplitude range for the input signal • Manual – applies the measurement’s Full Scale setting as in MA Autoranging – Conservative, Aggressive, or Fixed • Conservative – slower data collection, with higher quality data • Aggressive – provides faster data collection, with greater potential for settling error • Fixed – no autoranging is performed Input range fixed according to the transducer type and sensitivity Machine Speed – Normal or Slow • Normal – select for measurements on shafts rotating at or above 600 RPM • Slow – select if ski slope or settling problems occur on shafts rotating below 600 RPM 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide 10 [Code] SKF [Organisation] “Config” Fields (continued again) Settling Delay – if ski slope problems occur, a settling delay of or seconds is recommended High Pass Filter – Fixed or Variable • Fixed – the High-pass Filter setting is always 1.1 Hz • Variable – the Microlog uses the Low Frequency Cut-off setting from Machine Analyst software Route ICP – Never or Always (specified for your sensor, disable or enable sensor ICP) 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide 11 [Code] SKF [Organisation] “Config” Fields (continued again still) Memory – Purge, Delete ROUTE, Delete all ROUTEs, or Initialize • Purge – deletes all ROUTE and Non-ROUTE data, saves the ROUTE structure and measurements • Delete ROUTE – deletes selected ROUTE and ROUTE data, preserves system settings • Delete all ROUTEs – deletes all ROUTEs, ROUTE data, and Non-ROUTE data, preserves all system settings • Initialize – formats the active memory and deletes all ROUTEs, ROUTE POINTs, and NonROUTE POINTs stored within the Microlog Preserves system settings, and refreshes memory if the Microlog is experiencing memory-like problems Fill Spectrum – On or Off Trigger Level – Automatic or Fixed • Fixed – for ROUTE POINTs, always V and expecting a TTL trigger For NonROUTE POINTs, setting in the NonROUTE mode’s User setup screen applies • Automatic – for both ROUTE and NonROUTE POINTs, the Microlog examines the trigger signal and automatically sets the trigger level to the signal’s mid-point 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide 12 [Code] SKF [Organisation] Quick Review 2010-04-21 ©SKF Slide 13 [Code] SKF [Organisation] ...Module Objective(s) To instruct the new GX Series Microlog User on how to set the Microlog’s “system” settings and “global measurement”...
