9.11 Notes
Notes let you make comments and observations about the equipment you are monitoring.
After you add the note to the job, it is saved with your measurement data. When you
transfer the job to AMS Machinery Manager, the note is included.
The analyzer has pre-defined notes you can use. Notes are organized by groups, so you can
scroll through groups of similar notes.

You cannot modify a note you created. If you need to modify it, delete the note and create a new
one.
