Basic Analyzer Operations
Most of the feature descriptions and other information provided in this
chapter are common to all UltraSpec analyzer software applications.
Although the use of function keys is discussed in a very general way,
detailed application-dependent operations are covered in the appropriate
sections.
To provide maximum configuration flexibility and upgradeability in the
field, all UltraSpec analyzer operating software is downloaded from a com-
puter. The two types of software that are used are:
• Firmware - controls the basic function of the instrument and must be
loaded first.
• Applications - provide specific functionality for alignment, bal-
ancing, operation as a single-channel FFT analyzer, or, for electric
motor analysis.
Note
Where applicable, differences in the UltraSpec analyzer
models will be discussed.
