4.1 Route overview
The Route program lets you collect route data using your analyzer. A route is a list of
equipment and measurement points that you select from an area in the AMS Machinery
Manager database. A route is not an AMS Machinery Manager database. The route file lets
you save collected measurements for the equipment. Arrange the list of equipment and
measurement points to provide an efficient path (route) for you to collect data. You can
simultaneously collect one, two, three, and four channel waveform and spectra data.
To use the Route program:
1.
Load a route into your analyzer from AMS Machinery Manager Data Transfer or
Standalone Data Transfer.
2. Activate the route in the analyzer.
3. Ensure the data collection parameters are set up properly.
4. Ensure the tachometer, if applicable, is set up properly. Define the sensors when you
create the route in AMS Machinery Manager.
5. Collect the data for each measurement point. The analyzer displays each machine
and measurement point in the defined order for the route.
6. (Optional) Plot the data to analyze the data.
7. (Optional) Open Analyze from the measurement point to do further analysis.
8. Transfer the route back to AMS Machinery Manager for storage or further analysis.
