ReadMe for VIBXPERT firmware version 2.

16 build 421 ===================================================== ******************************************************************** ATTENTION: Please use the latest VIBXPERT UpdateTool (V1.33). Please update the OMNITREND software to the latest version (2.35) ******************************************************************** New in version 2.16 build 421: Balancing * One plane balancing with control plane over the 2nd plane. New in version 2.15 build 380: General * VIBXPERT checks fragmentation rate of the CF memory card * 'CF card service' in the device settings menu Tasks * Spectrum: Displays P-P values for amplitudes * Bump test: Measurement quantity selectable * Bump test: "Choose data set" function revised * Coastdown: Handling RPM-diff criteria * Orbit: Sensors do not have to be mounted with a 90 angular separation. Separation between 5 and 175 is possible (poor accuracy!). * Orbit: Order 0 for acceleration measurements * Unfiltered orbit: Time-synchronous average as post-processing function * Time waveform: Calculates spectrum from time waveform (postprocessing function) Balancing * Shows only the first and the last balancing step (option) * Amplitude as P-P value Graph * Order spectrum can be shown in a waterfall diagram Route * Show historical data or last result when opening a route (new setting in the route setup). * New tasks: Filtered orbit, unfiltered orbit, phase (1 & 2 planes) and cross channel phase * TrendingSpectrum: Calculated peaks as monitoring parameters * TrendingSpectrum: Stores last envelope filtered time waveform with the envelope spectrum * Order-based spectrum (= frequency ranges from high pass frequency to a specified order) * Historical data and reference data can be imported from OMNITREND (spectrum, trendingspectrum, overall values) * Warning appears if the current result deviates from the last measurement result by a specified % value. * Runtime route setup: Change meas. channel, sensor, etc. temporarily, if required. * Non-VIBCODE task can be measured on channel B if VIBCODE is connected to channel A.

* Show meas. node name and VIBCODE ID in the status bar of the task selection screen. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New in version 2.01 build 299: General: * VIBXPERT cannot be updated, when the power supply is not connected. * 'Key controls' icon changed (device setup) * Online help updated * Language files updated (chinese, dutch, german, english) Tasks: * New factory set task for overall acceleration measurements (2Hz-1kHz) Route: * MultiTask measurements can be performed simultaneously on both ADCs, even if 2-channel mode is not registered. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New in version 2.00 build 272: General: * Non linear displacement transducer * Manual sensor check for ICP transducer Multimode: * Unfiltered orbit - w/o key phasor * Disable transducer detection in multimode Spectrum: * Cascade diagram for spectrum coastdown * Display settings for spectra improved Timewave: * Crest factor calculation based on timewaveform * Time-synchronous averaging (signal postprocessing) * Polar plot Run-up/Coastdown: live values during measurement Route: * Data collection time improved by... ... using TrendingSpectrum measurement task ... measuring MultiTask measurements simultaneously on both ADCs * VIBXPERT recalls amplification when measurment task is remeasured * Transducer detection can be disabled +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New in version 1.90 build 230: General: * Text editor improved

* Request and confirmation before remeasure [optional] * Statusbar contains additional information * PC licence registration for OMNITREND Measurement tasks: NEW: * Waterfall display for spectrum * DC measurements (overall, timewaveform) * 0.5 Hz and 1 Hz HP filter for vibration / voltage (AC) meas. IMPROVED: * MultiTask: New icons for alarm/ warning/ prewarning condition * Spectrum: Timewaveform is displayed during measurement * Amplitude scaling in dB * Result details screen Route: IMPROVED: * Autosave disabled on alarm condition +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New in version 1.80 build 201: Measurement tasks: NEW: * Multitask in Multimode. * Runup / coastdown with rms values * Runup / coastdown FFT spectrum * Bumptest Route: NEW: * Acceptance test (template) enables you to measure the same task repeatedly. IMPROVED: * Task sequence can be changed in OMNITREND. Spectrum NEW: * show RPM in Trend * Live timewaveform with spectra Balancing: IMPROVED: * Active balancing plane blinks DeviceSetup - Registration: NEW: * Firmware has been split into several modules to be more flexible with the device configuration. Modules must be registered. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
