or otherwise and Entek IRD accepts the order, Customer is deemed to have agreed to all the
Terms and Conditions contained herein. Unless otherwise approved in writing, the acceptance
of Entek IRD is expressly conditioned upon Customer accepting these Terms and Conditions,
and any different or additional terms and conditions contained in Customer's order or related
documents are expressly objected to by Entek IRD and not binding upon it. Entek IRD
reserves the right to accept or reject all orders received by it and all orders may only be
accepted at the contracting office of Entek IRD located in Ohio. Entek IRD may accept in

2. QUOTATIONS. All quotations expire automatically thirty days from date of quotation or earlier
by notice from Entek IRD. Unless otherwise noted in writing by Entek IRD, all prices are
F.O.B. the place of origin for domestic shipments and Ex Works (as defined in INCOTERMS
1990) for international shipments; and risk of loss in transit is on Customer. Prices do not
include any applicable taxes, however designated, levied or based upon the goods or services
being quoted. Customer agrees to pay all such taxes or provide acceptable evidence of
exemption therefrom.
3. TIMING. All delivery/shipping and service dates stated by Entek IRD are approximate dates
only and estimated in good faith to the best of Entek IRD's ability and are dependent upon
Entek IRD's prompt receipt of all necessary information from Customer. Time shall not be
deemed to be of the essence in Entek IRD's performance of this agreement, and no penalty
clause of any description in any specification or order will be effective unless specifically
approved in writing by an authorized officer of Entek IRD. In any event delivery/shipping and
service dates are always quoted subject to unavoidable delays due to causes beyond Entek

government action.
4. TERMS. Payment terms for domestic orders are net 10 days from date of invoice, unless
otherwise provided in the quotation. For international orders, Entek IRD reserves the right to
specify prepayment, letter of credit, or payment net 10 days from the date of invoice. Each
shipment shall be considered a separate and independent transaction and payment must be
made accordingly. If the financial condition or credit of Customer at any time in the judgment
of Entek IRD, does not warrant shipment of goods ordered, Entek IRD may at its option require
full payment prior to shipment or refuse to ship and terminate any order outstanding without
liability to Entek IRD. If any sum is not paid by Customer when due, Entek IRD shall not be
obligated to continue performance. If any amount is not paid when due, to the extent permitted
by law a late fee of 1% per month (or any part thereof) shall be charged on past due amounts
until paid.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY. If Customer data comes into Entek IRD's possession, Entek IRD shall use
the same level of care to maintain the confidentiality of that data which Entek IRD uses for its
own confidential information. Subject thereto, Entek IRD may use data in its possession to
compile and maintain commercial machinery information databases in which the origin of
specific data is not identifiable by users. Such databases shall be the sole property of Entek
IRD.

Terms and Conditions

6. CANCELLATION. Once accepted by Entek IRD, an order is not subject to cancellation in

whole or in part by Customer without Entek IRD's prior written consent. Any such cancellation

be incurred by Entek IRD as a result of such cancellation, including without limitation a 25%
restocking charge for standard products.
7. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES. Customer shall be solely responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the information provided to Entek IRD, and Entek IRD shall not be liable for any
damages resulting from the loss, disclosure or inaccuracy of such information. Customer shall,
for those contracts which include on-site installation, have the installation site prepared at its
expense prior to the scheduled installation date to enable Entek IRD to promptly deliver and
commence installation. The products are not for use in or with any nuclear facility, unless the
Quotation expressly permits such use; and Customer shall indemnify and hold Entek IRD
harmless from all liability (including such liability resulting from Entek IRD's negligence)
arising out of such improper use. Customer shall not send or use the products outside the
United States except in compliance with all applicable law, including U.S. export regulations
and restrictions.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Overview of EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac

The combination of the Enpac 1200A data collector with Entek EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare software provides a complete package for predictive maintenance using noise and
vibration analysis. Note that the Enpac can also be used for a variety of other applications,
such as Balancing or Bearing Analysis.
A predictive maintenance program helps you decide when equipment needs to be serviced
or replaced. Part of a complete predictive maintenance program includes vibration
monitoring. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac allow you to perform
vibration analysis by collecting data samples. The Enpac 1200A is referred to as the Enpac
or the data collector in this User’s Guide. The EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare software
is referred to as EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare in this User’s Guide.
Note: EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and this manual use the term “list” for an ordered set of
measurement definitions. The Enpac uses the term “route” to refer to a list loaded to the
Enpac memory card. This User’s Guide uses the two terms interchangeably.
With the combination of predictive maintenance software and the Enpac, you can:
z Create lists of measurement definitions for data collection.
z Load lists from EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare into the Enpac.
z Collect magnitude, process, spectrum, time, and phase data.
z View selected alarms with the data. The Enpac alerts you when a measurement
exceeds an alarm.
z Select inspection codes to store with a measurement, documenting the condition of
the machine.
z Unload the data from the Enpac card directly into the EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare database, along with any inspection codes and unscheduled measurements.

In addition, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can optimize your data collection by

combining measurement definitions at a location. For example, EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare could combine two magnitude and one spectrum measurement definitions so that
the list appears to contain only a single measurement. This allows you to collect all three
measurements at one time, minimizing the time you spend collecting data.

Using the Manual

This Guide is intended for people using EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac
1200A to collect vibration data and perform vibration analysis. This manual contains step-
by-step instructions for using the Enpac with EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare. It also
serves as a reference and troubleshooting guide with sections about the data collector and
frequently asked questions related to the Enpac.

Measurement Status Indicators

The measurement status indicators are located on the Enpac nameplate to the right of the
word Enpac. The indicators show the status of the measurement in progress and display
the following colors during data collection:
z RED - A reading is in progress and the data is not in the valid range, or there is a
transducer/cable problem.
z AMBER - The input signal is within the input range, and you can press either of the
<READ/OK> keys to begin the measurement. This indicator may also mean a reading
is in progress and the data is valid, if you set Auto Store to On in the Data Collection
Configuration screen.
z GREEN - The current measurement is complete; continue to the next point.

<READ/OK> Key
The <READ/OK> key starts collecting data for the current point, or accepts the current
measurement. There are two of these keys so you can use the Enpac with either your left
or right hand.

Function keys
Below the display are four function keys referred throughout this manual as <F1>,< F2>,
<F3>, and <F4>. The function keys change depending on the current state of the data
collector. The data collector displays the current function of the keys in the display above
the key. When no text appears above a function key, the key is inactive in the current
window.

Arrow keys
The arrow keys are located below the function keys. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow
keys to move up and down the display. Use the <RIGHT> arrow key to open the menu
and the <LEFT> arrow key to select the menu choice.

Power/Trig
This socket connects the Enpac to either an external trigger or power adapter. The external
trigger enables synchronization of the data acquisition process to external events, such as
tachometer inputs for rotational synchronization for balancing applications, or for order
normalization of frequency spectrum. The trigger pulse can also be used to collect running
speeds of machinery. The pin assignment for the trigger is shown in the illustration above.
The external power adapter can be used to charge the internal battery. This can be
connected via the Power socket on the top of the Enpac. Only the provided transformer
may be used. Any other supply may cause permanent damage to the data collector.

IrDA Interface
The IrDA interface allows the Enpac to transfer data to another IrDA device. When the
two infrared transmitters/receivers are aligned and activated, you can use the infrared
beam to transfer data back and forth between the Enpac and your computer.
Note: The Enpac does not currently use the IrDA interface.

RS-232 Interface
Data is transferred between the Enpac and your computer over an RS-232 interface. The
RS-232 interface is provided via a 9-way (Plug) D-connector on the top of the Enpac. The
pin assignments are shown below. The interface operates with a hardware handshake.

Overview of Setting Up Measurements

Different data collectors have different capabilities, and you may need to know how
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare works with your data collector. For example, different
data collectors support different measurement definition options.
You can create several different types of measurement definitions at each location.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can then take advantage of the abilities of your data
collector by combining some of the measurement definitions when you load them into the
data collector. By combining measurements, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can
shorten the data collection time.
The topics in this chapter also explain how EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the
Enpac handle alarms, lists, and inspection codes. For more general information about
setting up measurement definitions, alarms, lists, and inspection codes, see the printed or
online EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare User’s Guide.

Measurement Definition Options

These topics describe the available selections for setting up measurement definitions. You
determine these selections with the Set Active Collectors command from the Tools menu
in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare.

Note: If no data collectors are active, the selections that appear in the Measurement
Definition pane are the ones available to ALL data collectors. If only the Enpac is
active, then only the valid choices for the Enpac appear in the lists. If the Enpac and
other data collectors are active at the same time, you see the selections that are
common to all data collectors that are active. Therefore, you may not see all the
selections available for the Enpac.
In some cases both EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the data collector support
certain options. In other cases, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can support an option
that the data collector cannot support. One example is that EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare can apply a software high pass filter to the data after it unloads the data from the
data collector. This allows you to use a filter that is not available in the data collector.

 Measurement Definition Options

Measurement Types
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support the following measurement
definition types:
z Magnitude - This measurement type is a single value representing the total energy of
a measurement. For example, a vibration magnitude represents the total energy in a
vibration spectrum. The Enpac can also collect magnitude+phase measurements, for
the first through the eighth orders.
z Process - Manual entry or DC voltage measurement of an overall value such as
temperature, pressure, flow rate, operating speed, or proximity probe gap readings.
z Spectrum - Frequency domain measurement of frequency vs. amplitude, usually for
velocity or acceleration. The Enpac can collect phase with spectrum measurement
definitions.
z Time Waveform - Time domain measurement of time vs. amplitude, usually for
displacement, velocity, or acceleration.

Remember that the available measurement types in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare

depend on the active collectors you select with the Set Active Collectors command from
the Tools menu. If you have two or more active data collectors, you may not see all the
selections available for the Enpac.

Measurement Filters
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac each support certain measurement filters.
Some of the filters are supported in both EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the data
collector. You can define custom band filters (high pass, low pass, band pass) by creating
a new band filter with the Band Filter command from the Setup menu. You can choose to
use the filter in the Enpac by selecting Use Data Collector Filter if Available when you
define a filter.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 39

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

Note: Filters in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare are referred to as software filters. Filters in
data collectors are referred to as hardware filters. Hardware filters alter the signal in the
Enpac. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare software filters alter the signal (data
representing the signal) after you unload the data into EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare.
In general, if the filter you want to use is available in both EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare and in the data collector, it is to your advantage to use the hardware filter in the
data collector.

Hardware filters have the following advantage:

z They can remove low frequency, high amplitude signal components that would
dominate the dynamic range in the data collector. This results in improved amplitude
resolution of the remaining signal range.

Software filters have the following advantage:

z If there is no corresponding filter in the data collector, or you choose not to use it,
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can apply a digital filter after you unload the data
from the data collector.

gSE filters
Use a gSE filter to detect bearing and other component defects. The gSE filters provide a
demodulated measurement similar to the “envelope” measurements in other instruments.
You can use gSE filters with the following measurement definitions:
z Magnitude
z Spectrum
z Time waveform

These six gSE filters are available in the Enpac. If you choose the Envelope filter,
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare automatically picks the 5 kHz gSE filter.

100 Hz gSE (6,000 CPM)

200 Hz gSE (12,000 CPM)
500 Hz gSE (30,000 CPM)
1,000 Hz gSE (60,000 CPM)
2,000 Hz gSE (120,000 CPM)
5,000 Hz gSE (300,000 CPM)

40 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Measurement Definition Options

High pass filters

Use a high pass filter to remove high vibration, low frequency signal components that
would dominate the signal. Examples include structural vibration or signal components
generated by an integrator. The high pass filter excludes all frequencies below a defined
frequency. It allows, or passes, frequencies above the defined frequency. You define these
and other band filters with the Band Filter command from the Setup menu. You can use a
high pass filter with the following measurement definitions:
z Magnitude
z Spectrum

If you select Use Data Collector Filter if Available when you define a high pass filter,
then the data collector uses one of the following filters determined by the following
formula.

2 (max frequency)
--------------------------------------------
number of lines

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses a high pass filter with one of the low frequency
cutoffs shown in the table below. It uses the filter whose cutoff is greater than or equal to
the result of the formula.

Integrated (A to V, A to D, V to D) Non-integrated (A, V, and D)

0.36 Hz (21.6 CPM) 0.18 Hz (10.8 CPM)

5.30 Hz (318 CPM) 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM)
23.80 Hz (1428 CPM)

If you do not select Use Data Collector Filter if Available, EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare applies a digital filter after you unload the data.

Order (Magnitude) filters

Use order filters to define the bands around orders for magnitude and magnitude+phase
measurements. You define these filters using the Band Filter command from the Setup
menu. You can use order filters with the following measurement definitions:
z Magnitude
z Spectrum

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 41

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

You can define and use order filters for the first through the eighth orders with the Enpac.
If you specify the Maximum Frequency in Orders, select Use Data Collector Filter if
Available, and Order Normalize when you define the orders filters, then the Enpac
calculates the orders from an external trigger. The Enpac then uses its own filters to
calculate the magnitude and phase for the first through the eighth orders. EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare calculates magnitude values (without phase) for additional orders
after you unload the data. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare also calculates magnitude
values after you unload the data if you do not select Use Data Collector Filter if
Available.
Note: If you want phase, remember to specify the Maximum Frequency in Orders, check the
Use Data Collector Filter if Available, and Order Normalize boxes. EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare does not select these option by default.

Default filters
There are also four default filters in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare that map to specific
filters in the Enpac. The filters are High Frequency, Envelope, Smart HP, and Overall.
z High Frequency - Typically this filter maps to a high frequency filter in the data
collector and is available only for magnitude acceleration measurements. In the Enpac
it maps to the 5 kHz gSE filter.
z Envelope - This filter maps to one of the gSE filters in the data collector and is
available for magnitude, spectrum, or time waveform acceleration measurements. In
the Enpac it maps to the 5 kHz gSE filter.
z Smart HP - (Smart High Pass) Typically this filter maps to a specific high pass filter
in the data collector and is available for magnitude, spectrum, and time waveform
measurements. In the Enpac, it maps to the Enpac filters shown in the table below,
depending on the results of comparing the filter choice to the formula below.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses the following formula:

2 (max frequency)
--------------------------------------------
number of lines

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare chooses an overall filter with one of the low
frequency cutoffs shown in the table below. It uses the filter whose cutoff is less than
the result of the formula.

Integrated (A to V, A to D, V to D) Non-integrated (A, V, and D)

5.30 Hz (318 CPM) 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM)

23.80 Hz (1428 CPM)

 Measurement Definition Options

For example:
2 × 120,000 CMP 240000
------------------------------------------- = ------------------ = 600 CPM = 10 Hz
400 lines 400
In this example, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses the 5.30 Hz (318 CPM) filter
for this measurement if it is an integrated measurement. It uses the 2.67 Hz
(160.2 CPM) filter for a non-integrated measurement.
z Overall - Typically this filter maps to a specific high pass filter in the data collector
and is available for magnitude, spectrum, and time waveform measurements. In the
Enpac, it maps to the Enpac filters shown in the table below, depending on the results
of comparing the filter choice to the formula below.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses the following formula:

2 (max frequency)
--------------------------------------------
number of lines

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses an overall filter with one of the low frequency
cutoffs shown in the table below. It uses the filter whose cutoff is greater than or
equal to the result of the formula.

Integrated (A to V, A to D, V to D) Non-integrated (A, V, and D)

0.36 Hz (21.6 CPM) 0.18 Hz (10.8 CPM)

5.30 Hz (318 CPM) 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM)
23.80 Hz (1428 CPM)

For example:
2 × 30,000 CPM 60,000
---------------------------------------- = ---------------- = 150 CPM = 2.5 Hz
400 lines 400

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses the 5.30 Hz (318 CPM) filter for an integrated
measurement. It uses the 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM) filter for a non-integrated
measurement.
Remember that the available filters in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare depend on the
active collectors you select with the Set Active Collectors command from the Tools
menu. If you have two or more active data collectors, you may not see all the selections
available for the Enpac. If you have no active data collectors, you see all selections for
every data collector, not just the selections for the Enpac.

RSS Overall
The Enpac allows you to take a digital overall measurement, instead of analog. This set up
makes measurement collection faster. Be aware that this RSS (Root Sum Squares) overall
value is not as complete because it does not include the power in the signal from below the
first spectral bin or above the highest spectral bin. Please note that the RSS overall values
may not trend well with analog overall measurements.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 43

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

To use the RSS filter, you must create a Band Filter in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare.
From the Setup menu, choose Band Filter. Choose New.
You should select a low cutoff, preferably one that is just above one of the Enpac's filter
cutoffs. If you select Use data collector filter if available, and you are above one of the
filter cutoffs, it will do the RSS measurement and use the nearest high pass filter. As long
as the cutoff setting is above the predefined filter, and RSS measurement will be taken.
Here is an example:

If you create a custom filter that uses one of the Enpac's predefined filters, such as 5.3 Hz
(318 CPM) for an integrated measurement, or 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM) for a non-integrated
measurement, and check the box, the Enpac uses that filter and will collect an analog
overall for that magnitude measurement.
In order to use the RSS feature for integrated measurements, we suggest you set up a low
cutoff of 6 Hz (or alternatively 330 CPM) or 25 Hz (or alternatively 1430 CPM). This will
initiate the RSS filter in the Enpac and give you the fastest data collection time. The low
cutoff filter setting you choose depends on how much low frequency data you need to see.
Note: Using the 0.36 Hz (21.6 CPM) low cutoff filter for integrated measurements or the 0.18
Hz (10.8 CPM) low cutoff filter for non-integrated measurements will always cause the
Enpac to go into a long autorange mode. Only use these filter settings when very low
frequency data is required.
These are the high pass filters available in the Enpac:

Integrated (A to V, A to D, V to D) Non-integrated (A, V, and D)

0.36 Hz (21.6 CPM) 0.18 Hz (10.8 CPM)

5.30 Hz (318 CPM) 2.67 Hz (160.2 CPM)

Note: CPM values can be substituted for the Hz values. You do not have to use the exact
multiple of 60 though. You can simply add to the filter value and set up your low cutoff
there. For example, 330 CPM works well for the value above the 318 CPM (5.3 Hz) high
pass filter.
If you are collecting data on a low speed machine and you need the low frequency data,
you will have longer ranging times.

Measurement Units
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support many different measurement
units. The measurement units that appear in the Enpac are text that depend on:
z The type of measurement definition
z The units for the measurement definition
z The transducer specification used in the collection specification for the measurement
definition

The Enpac can collect data for English units, Metric units, or Decibels. It uses the units
that you select in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare. You can select units from a single
system (e.g. English g’s, in/sec, etc.), or you can mix units from different systems (e.g.
English g’s, in/sec and Metric m/s2, m/sec) in one list. The Enpac loads the exact text
string from EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare. The signal detection type (peak, rms, true
peak, etc.) is appended to the units on the Enpac screen.

Setting Up Collection Specifications

Measurement definitions are controlled in part by the collection specification (Collection
command from the Setup menu). You select the collection specification when you set up
the measurement definition. You can create new collection specifications based on your
specific measurement by using the Collection command.

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support the following input types:
z ICP Accel(X) - Use for ICP accelerometers requiring current from a power supply.
Use this selection for single-axis accelerometers, and the X-direction of tri-axial
accelerometers.
z AC Coupled - Use for AC voltage measurements and non-ICP accelerometers.

To specify an input type, select Calibration from the Setup menu, then choose the correct
Enpac from the Collector list. You can then assign Input Types, Calibration, and
appropriate Units to the transducers you wish to use.

Measurement Window Types

The measurement window type is part of the collection specification (Collection
command from the Setup menu). You select the collection specification when you set up
the measurement definition.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support the following measurement
window types. In general, the Hanning measurement window provides the best
compromise of frequency and amplitude accuracy for most predictive maintenance
measurements.
z Hanning - A general purpose window to use on random type data when frequency
resolution is more important than amplitude accuracy. Use this setting for most of
your machinery monitoring activities.
z Rectangular - The data collector does not apply a window. Use this only for transient
signals that die out before the end of the time sample, or for exactly periodic signals
within the time sample.
z Flattop - Use this when amplitude accuracy is more important than frequency
resolution. In data with closely spaced peaks, a Flattop window may smear the peaks
together into one wide peak. Use this setting for sinusoidal or calibration signals.
z Hamming - A general purpose window that is similar to the Hanning window. It
provides better frequency resolution but decreased amplitude accuracy when
compared to the Hanning window. You can use it to separate close frequency
components.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 49

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

Measurement Signal Detection Types

The signal detection is part of the collection specification (Collection command from the
Setup menu). You select the collection specification when you set up the measurement
definition.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support the following signal detection
types:
z None - Use for process measurements. None defaults to RMS when applied to
magnitude or spectrum measurement definition.
z RMS - Use for detection of voltage and current. For the frequency domain, the
dynamic signal is measured as the square root of the mean of the square of the signal.
This is the RMS amplitude of a sine wave at the frequency of interest. For the time
domain, the dynamic time signal is squared, integrated over some time period, and
then the square root is taken.
z Peak - Use for detection of acceleration, velocity and high frequency energy. This is
the peak (0 to maximum) amplitude of a sine wave at the frequency of interest and is
calculated from the RMS value.
z Peak-Peak - Use for detection of displacement; sometimes used for high frequency
energy. This is the peak-to-peak (minimum to maximum) amplitude of a sine wave at
the frequency of interest and is calculated from the RMS value.
z True Peak - Use to detect impacts and random transients. The dynamic time signal
contains the absolute value of the largest peak (positive or negative) within a
specified time window. Returns a magnitude value only. If used with a spectrum
measurement, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses a Peak signal detection type
instead. This value is not calculated but is measured directly.
z True Peak-Peak - Use to detect impacts and random transients. The dynamic time
signal contains the absolute value of the largest peak to peak distance within a
specified time window. Returns a magnitude value only. If used with a spectrum
measurement, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses a Peak-Peak signal detection
type instead. This value is not calculated but is measured directly.

Measurement Maximum Frequencies

The measurement maximum frequency is part of the collection specification (Collection
command from the Setup menu). You select the collection specification when you set up
the measurement definition.

You can either select a value from the drop down list, or you can type a value into the
Maximum Frequency box of the Collection Specification dialog box. If you type a
value that does not match one of the values above, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses
the next higher maximum frequency.

Measurement Resolution
The measurement resolution is part of the collection specification (Collection command
from the Setup menu). You select the collection specification when you set up the
measurement definition.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support the following resolutions:

Spectral lines Time samples

100 256
200 512
400 1024
800 2048
1600 4096
3200 8192
6400 16384
12800 32768

The values that appear in the Number of Lines drop down list in the Collection
Specification dialog box are those for spectrum measurements. EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare uses the corresponding number of time samples from the table above for time
measurement definitions.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 51

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

You can calculate the number of time samples from the number of spectral lines using the
following formula:
time samples = spectral lines × 2.56

You can calculate the total time required to collect a time waveform measurement from
the Number of Lines value and the Maximum Frequency value in the Collection
Specification dialog box in the Setup menu.
If your Maximum Frequency is specified in CPM, convert CPM to Hertz using the
formula:
Fmax (CPM)
Fmax (Hz) = -------------------------------
60

Next, find the total collection time for the time waveform measurement using the formula:
spectral lines
collection time = -------------------------------
Fmax (Hz)

For example: if you had a Maximum Frequency value of 7200 CPM, and a Number of
Lines value of 400, you would:
Convert CPM to Hz:
7200 CPM
-------------------------- = 120 Hz
60

Find the total collection time:

400 lines
---------------------- = 3.3 seconds
120 Hz

Number and Type of Averages

The number and type of averages are part of the collection specification (Collection
command from the Setup menu). You select the collection specification when you set up
the measurement definition. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support the
following number and types of averages for data collection:
z Linear - Up to 4096 averages.
z Time Synchronous - Up to 255 averages, and requires a trigger.

Averaging is useful for reducing random errors. Random errors include background
vibration due to some source other than the machine being measured. If you collect more
averages, you have fewer random errors. However, collecting more averages requires
more time.
Overlap processing (Percent Overlap) speeds up the averaging process. The overlap
amount determines how much of the time samples are overlapped for successive averages.
The greater the overlap, the faster the sample can be collected. The disadvantage is that
the greater the overlap, the less new data there is, and the greater the influence of random
errors.

 Setting Up Measurement Definitions

Setting Up Measurement Definitions

The topics in this section describe setting up different types of measurement definitions in
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare for your data collector. The topics describe the way
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare works with the Enpac for each different type of
measurement definition. These include answers to questions such as:
z How does EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare handle measurement units and alarms
available in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare but not supported in the Enpac?
z How many orders of magnitude and phase can the Enpac collect?
z How does the Enpac support collecting a spectrum when a magnitude measurement is
in alarm?

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare combines measurement definitions when it creates a

load file from a list of measurement definitions. For example, EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare can combine the measurement definitions at a location so that the data collector
collects all the measurements at one time. This makes data collection faster and more
efficient since you do not have to start each measurement individually. For more general
information on setting up measurement definitions, see the printed or online EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare User’s Guide.

Magnitude Measurement Definitions

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support magnitude measurement
definitions. This topic lists the unique characteristics of the Enpac that you may need to
know when setting up and collecting magnitude data.

Measurement units not supported in the Enpac

z Magnitude measurement definitions with unit not supported by the Enpac map to
units of USER (eus) in the data collector. This results in a process (DC) voltage
measurement.
z For a list of supported measurement units, see “Measurement Units” on page 46.

Magnitude alarms in the Enpac

z The Enpac supports above, below, in window, and out of window magnitude alarms.
z You must set Trigger to Yes for any magnitude alarms you want to appear in the
Enpac during data collection.
z For more on how EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare combines alarms before sending
them to the Enpac, see “Alarms and the Data Collector” on page 69.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 53

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

Collecting magnitude measurements in multiple frequency

bands
You can set up multiple measurement definitions at a location to collect magnitude values
for individual frequency bands. Use band filters to define the different frequency bands in
the measurement definitions. Make sure you do not select Use Data Collector Filter if
Available in the Band Filter dialog box. This forces the Enpac to collect a spectrum
measurement. After you unload the measurement, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare
calculates the magnitude values in the bands from the spectrum.
If your measurements include both magnitude and phase, the Enpac can collect up to eight
orders. If you measurements include magnitude only, the Enpac can collect up to 200
orders.

Proximity probe measurements

z Proximity probes measure the movement of a shaft within a bearing.
z You usually make two types of proximity probe measurements with magnitude
measurements definitions. The dynamic or AC component indicates the changing
(dynamic) distance between the probe and bearing shaft. The static or DC component
indicates the average distance between the probe and the shaft. This is also referred to
as the “DC gap.”
Dynamic (AC) component
z Set up a displacement transducer in the Transducer Calibration dialog box with
Input Type set to AC Coupled and Units to mils or um. Make sure you enter the
Calibration Value that converts the voltage to a displacement.
z Set up a Collection Specification with Transducer set to the AC displacement,
and Signal Detection set to Peak-Peak.
z Finish setting up the dynamic proximity probe measurement by setting Data
Type to Magnitude and Units to mils or um. You can use a Filter if desired.
Static (DC) component or “gap”
z Set up a displacement transducer in the Transducer Calibration dialog box with
Input Type set to DC Coupled and Units to mils or um. Make sure you enter the
Calibration Value that converts the voltage to a displacement. If you are using
the DC Input Module to remove the AC component and attenuate the signal by a
factor of 2.5, then you must divide your transducer’s calibration by 2.5.
z Set up a Collection Specification with Transducer set to the DC displacement
Transducer, and the Signal Detection set to RMS.
z Finish setting up the dynamic proximity probe measurement by setting Data
Type to Magnitude and Units to mils or um. You must set the Filter to None
since any type of high pass filtering removes the DC component.

Magnitude and Phase Measurements at Orders

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support collecting the magnitude and
phase at orders. This topic describes the steps to set up measurement definitions to collect
magnitude and phase with the Enpac. There are several things you may need to know
about collecting magnitude and phase at orders:
z You must select Also Collect Phase Data in the collection specification to collect
phase.
z You must select Use Data Collector Filter if Available when you define orders
filters. The Enpac automatically uses its internal order filters if you are collecting
phase. If you are collecting only magnitude values and you do not select this option,
the Enpac collects a spectrum and EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare calculates the
magnitudes after unloading.
z When collecting magnitude and phase at orders, the Enpac always collects a spectrum
measurement, and then calculates the magnitude and phase values from the spectrum.
z The Enpac can collect phase only at the first through eighth orders.
z The Enpac can collect magnitude only at the first through the eighth orders. If you
request additional orders, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare calculates magnitude
values at additional orders from the spectrum after unloading the data.
z Phase and magnitude measurements at orders require a trigger signal. This can be
from the internal laser tachometer or from an external trigger source such as a key
phasor.
z The Enpac may collect more orders than requested, but it does not collect fewer than
requested. Only the requested values are unloaded into EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare.
z The Enpac may display a phase value that differs from the value that appears in
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare by up to one degree.

To set up multiple measurement definitions for magnitude and

phase
You create only one measurement definition for magnitude and phase at each order. The
Also collect phase data checkbox in the collection specification dialog box determines
whether you also want to collect phase as well as magnitude data.
1. Create a new measurement definition by selecting Magnitude in the Data Type
column in the Measurement Definition pane.
2. Select the units for the measurement definition, using a dynamic unit such as g’s,
m/s2, ips, mm/s, mils, um, or V.

56 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Setting Up Measurement Definitions

3. Select the measurement filter. To collect the magnitude and phase at an order, select a
band filter centered on the order. For example, select (create if necessary) a first order
band filter with a Low Cutoff of 0.8 Orders, and a High Cutoff of 1.2 Orders. See
“Measurement Filters” on page 39 for details and the examples on the following
pages.
Note: It is very important that order band filters be centered on the order. For example, 0.7
to 1.3 orders, 0.8 to 1.2 orders, 0.9 to 1.1 orders, etc. If you do not center the band
filters, magnitude and phase readings may not be accurate.
4. Select the collection specification. You must select Also Collect Phase Data in the
Collection Specification dialog box so the data collector collects phase at orders.
5. Select the storage specification. The first measurement definition is now complete.
6. If you want to create more than one measurement, copy the measurement definition to
Or click the Clipboard by selecting the correct row and selecting the Copy command from the
Edit men.
7. Move down to the next empty row in the measurement definition spreadsheet, and
Or click select the Paste command from the Edit menu to paste the copied measurement
definition.
8. Edit the new measurement definition by changing the measurement filter. Select a
band filter centered on the next order.
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to create measurement definitions for the desired orders. You
can then include these measurement definitions in a list and load it to the data
collector. Remember that you must have a trigger signal to collect magnitude and
phase at an order.

Process Measurement Definitions

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support process measurement
definitions. This topic lists the unique characteristics of the Enpac that you may need to
know when setting up and collecting process data.

Measurement units not supported in the Enpac

z You can make a process measurement definition for any available measurement unit
by setting Data Type to Process.
z Process measurement definitions with Input Type set to DC coupled with units not
supported by the Enpac map to units of USER (eus). The input type is part of the
transducer specification that you select for the collection specification. This results in
a process (DC) voltage measurement in the Enpac.
z Process measurement definitions with Input Type set to Manual Entry not
supported by the Enpac map to USER (s) in the data collector. These measurements
require you to enter the value with the Enpac numeric key pad.
z For a list of supported measurement units, see “Measurement Units” on page 46.

58 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Setting Up Measurement Definitions

Full scale values for process measurements in the Enpac

z The full scale value in the Enpac for a process measurement is defined as ten times
the value of the alarm or the baseline measurement.
z If no alarm or baseline measurement exists for the measurement in the data collector,
the Enpac assumes a full scale value of 10,000.
z A full scale value of 10,000 can be a problem if you want to enter a very large or very
small value for the process measurement. For example, you can not enter a value
greater than the full scale value. If you enter a value that is very small compared to the
full scale, the Enpac may round the value off. If you enter 0.01 with a full scale value
of 10,000, the Enpac stores it as a 0 (zero).

Temperature measurements
z Set up a temperature measurement definition by setting Data Type to Process and
Units to deg. F or deg. C.
z Set up the temperature transducer in the Transducer Calibration dialog box with
Input Type set to DC Coupled and Units to deg. F or deg. C. Make sure you enter the
Calibration Value that converts the voltage to a temperature.
z Set up the collection specification to include a Signal Detection of RMS.

Machine speed (RPM) measurements

z Set up a tachometer measurement definition by setting Data Type to Process and
Units to RPM, CPM, or Hz.
z Set up the tachometer transducer in the Transducer Calibration dialog box with
Input Type set to ICP Accel for either the internal laser tachometer or an external
TTL device (such as entach laser sensor, an optical trigger, or a strobe light with TTL
output). Set the Input Type to AC Coupled or DC Coupled if your speed sensor has
an AC or DC voltage signal proportional to speed. Set the Units to RPM, CPM, or
Hz. Make sure you enter the Calibration Value that converts the voltage to a speed.
z Set up a Collection Specification with Transducer set to the tachometer transducer
you set up above, Window set to Rectangular, and Signal Detection set to none. Do
not fill in any of the fields in the Resolution area or the Averaging area of the dialog
box.
z Connect the speed sensor to the trigger connector on the Enpac when collecting data.

Magnitude alarms in the Enpac

You can use magnitude alarms with process measurements.
z The Enpac supports above, below, in window, and out of window magnitude alarms
with process measurements.
z You must set Trigger to Yes for any alarms you want to appear in the Enpac during

Spectrum Measurement Definitions

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support spectrum measurement
definitions. This topic lists the unique characteristics of the Enpac that you may need to
know when setting up and collecting spectrum data.
z The Enpac cannot collect phase with a spectrum measurement definition. In other
words, do not select the Also Collect Phase Data option in the Collection
Specification dialog box.
z You can choose to have the Enpac collect a spectrum only if a magnitude
measurement at the same location is in alarm. Set the Collect and Store Condition in
the Edit Storage Specification dialog box to On Magnitude Alarm for the storage
specification for the spectrum measurement definition.

Time synchronous averaging in the Enpac

z Time synchronous averaging cancels out the effects of signals not related to the
synchronizing trigger. Time synchronous mechanical effects include imbalance,
misalignment, eccentricity of bent shafts, blade passing, and gear meshing.
z Time synchronous averaging requires the internal laser tachometer or an external
trigger.
z Set up a Collection Specification with the averaging Type set to Time Synchronous
and enter the Number of Averages. Use a large number of averages (such as 20 or
30) to get the desired reduction in non-synchronous effects. For more on supported
averaging in the Enpac, see “Number and Type of Averages” on page 52.

Order normalized spectra in the Enpac

z Order normalized spectrum measurements have a frequency axis based on multiples
of the running speed (orders). This quickly identifies the frequency relationship
between each measured vibration amplitude and the running speed of the machine. It
is particularly useful on variable speed machinery.
z An order normalized spectrum measurement requires a trigger input to the Enpac.
z Set up a Collection Specification with Window set to Rectangular. Choose the
Maximum Frequency in Orders, and make sure to select the Order Normalization
checkbox. The averaging can be either linear or time synchronous, but should include
at least 4 averages.
z The Enpac may collect more orders than required. For example, if you set the
Maximum Frequency to 10 Orders, the Enpac may collect more than ten orders. The
Enpac always collects at least the number of orders you request in the Collection
Specification.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 61

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

z The Enpac displays an order normalized spectrum. If the Collection Specification

dialog box has the Also Collect Phase checkbox selected, and if the Maximum
Frequency is eight orders or less, the table on the Enpac screen shows the magnitude
and phase values at each order. If the Collection Specification dialog box does not
have the Also Collect Phase Data checkbox selected, or if the Maximum
Frequency is more than eight orders, the table on the Enpac screen shows magnitude
values only. The Enpac displays a maximum of eight orders in the table.
The Enpac displays four digit magnitude values in the table. You can see more
precise magnitude and phase values near the top of the screen by moving the cursor to
the frequency of interest.
If the table has eight orders or less, the Enpac arrow keys move the spectrum cursor.
If the table has more than eight orders, the Enpac arrow keys scroll the table values.

Proximity probe measurements

z Proximity probes measure the position and motion of a shaft within a bearing.
z You can use a spectrum measurement definition to measure the dynamic or AC
component of a proximity probe measurement. This indicates the motion of the shaft
within the bearing at each frequency.
z Set up a displacement transducer in the Transducer Calibration dialog box with
Input Type set to AC Coupled and Units to mils or um. Make sure you enter the
Calibration Value that converts the voltage to a displacement.
z Set up the Collection Specification to include the displacement Transducer, and set
the Signal Detection to Peak-Peak. You also need to select the window, frequency
range, and averaging options.
z Finish setting up the dynamic proximity probe measurement by setting Data Type to
Magnitude and Units to mils or um. You can use a Filter if desired, but make sure it
does not interfere with the frequency of interest.

Spectrum alarms in the Enpac

z You can have the data collector collect a spectrum measurement if a magnitude alarm
is in alarm. Set the Collect and Store Condition in the Edit Storage Specification
dialog box to On Magnitude Alarm for the storage specification for the spectrum
measurement definition.
z You must set Trigger to Yes for any alarms you want to be used in the Enpac during
data collection.
z For more on how EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare combines alarms before sending
them to the Enpac, see “Alarms and the Data Collector” on page 69.
The Enpac does not support spectrum alarms. You can still set up the alarms for the
spectrum measurement definitions. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare tests the data
against the alarms after you unload the data.

Time Waveform Measurement Definitions

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support time waveform measurement
definitions. This topic lists the unique characteristics of the Enpac that you may need to
know when setting up and collecting time waveform data.
z The Enpac cannot collect phase with time waveform measurement definitions.
z You can choose to have the Enpac collect a time waveform only if a magnitude
measurement at the same location is in alarm. Set the Collect and Store Condition in
the Edit Storage Specification dialog box to On Magnitude Alarm for the storage
specification for the time waveform measurement definition.
z The Enpac supports integrated time waveform measurements (single integration).
This means you can collect a time waveform with velocity units using an
accelerometer or displacement units using a velocity transducer.
z The length of the time waveform depends on the maximum frequency you select in
the collection specification.
You can calculate the number of time samples from the number of spectral lines
(Collection Specification dialog box) using the formula:

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 63

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

time samples = spectral lines × 2.56

You can calculate the total time required to collect a time waveform measurement
from the Number of Lines value and the Maximum Frequency value in the
Collection Specification dialog box in the Setup menu.
If your Maximum Frequency is specified in CPM, convert CPM to Hertz using the
formula:
Fmax (CPM)
Fmax (Hz) = -------------------------------
60

Next, find the total collection time for the time waveform measurement using the
formula:
spectral lines
collection time = -------------------------------
Fmax (Hz)

For example: if you had a Maximum Frequency value of 7200 CPM, and a Number
of Lines value of 400, you would:
Convert CPM to Hz:
7200 CPM
-------------------------- = 120 Hz
60

Find the total collection time:

400 lines
--------------------- = 3.3 seconds
120 Hz

Time synchronous averaging in the Enpac

z Time synchronous averaging cancels out the effects of signals not related to the
synchronizing trigger. Time synchronous mechanical effects include imbalance,
misalignment, eccentricity of bent shafts, blade passing, and gear meshing.
z Time synchronous averaging requires the internal laser tachometer or an external
trigger input to the Enpac.
z Set up a collection specification with the averaging Type set to Time Synchronous
and enter the Number of Averages. Use a large number of averages (such as 20 or
30) to get the desired reduction in non-synchronous effects. For more on supported
averaging in the Enpac, see “Number and Type of Averages” on page 52.

Combining Measurement Definitions for a Location

You can use EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare to set up many different measurement
definitions for data collection at a location. These can include magnitude, spectrum, time
waveform, and process measurements. You can then select the measurement definitions
you want to load to the data collector by creating a list of those measurement definitions.
When you want to load the data collector, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare builds a load
file containing the measurement definitions in the list.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare combines measurement definitions at each location to
make data collection more efficient. This allows you to collect two or more measurements
automatically, without having to start each measurement separately. The rules for
combining measurement definitions depend on several factors. In general, however,
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can combine measurements definitions at the same
location when they have the same:
z Measurement units (part of the measurement definition)
z Measurement filter (part of the measurement definition)
z Transducer calibration and input type (from the transducer specification used in the
measurement definition’s collection specification)
In addition, there are some specialized cases that allow or prevent EMONITOR Odyssey
or Enshare from combining measurement definitions from the same location when they
meet the above conditions.
z In general, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare cannot combine a magnitude and a
spectrum measurement if they have different measurement filters.
z EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can combine an enveloped acceleration magnitude
measurement with a spectrum with the same units.
z EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can combine a non-filtered measurement definition
with a high pass, low pass, or band filtered measurement when the band filter is
applied by EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare after the spectrum is unloaded.
z EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can combine two signatures if they are the same
type (time, fixed frequency spectrum, order normalized spectrum) and the same
resolution.

Setting Up Tri-Axial Measurements

You can set up and collect tri-axial measurements with the Enpac if you have a tri-axial
transducer and a special tri-axial cable for your Enpac. This allows you to collect
measurements in three directions without moving the transducer.
Tri-axial measurements require setting up separate transducer specifications, collection
specifications, locations, and measurement definitions for each of the three transducers.
This section shows the methods for setting up these measurements.

To set up transducer calibrations for tri-axial transducers

1. From the Setup menu, choose the Calibration command in EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare. The Transducer Calibration dialog box appears.
2. Select the Enpac 1200 for the Collector.
3. In the Transducer Calibration dialog box, select the Input Type for the tri-axial
transducer in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare:
Transducer Name Input Type
ICP Accel(X) ICP Accel(X)
ICP Accel(Y) ICP Accel(Y)
ICP Accel(Z) ICP Accel(Z)

4. Select the correct Units, and enter the correct Calibration Value and DC Offset for
the three transducer names.
5. Choose OK when done.
See “Measurement Input Types” on page 48 for more transducer and input type
information for EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare.

To set up tri-axial collection specifications

You must set up a different collection specification for each axis of a tri-axial transducer,
otherwise your results are unpredictable.
1. From the Setup menu, choose the Collection command in EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare. The Define Collection Specification dialog box appears.
2. Create a new collection specification by choosing New, or copy an existing one by
selecting the collection specification and choosing Copy.
3. Enter a Name for the new collection specification. For the X-axis of the tri-axial
transducer, you might use something like “STD Hz (200) X.”
4. Choose the Transducer. For the X-axis, choose the ICP Accel(X) transducer.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 67

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

5. Choose the desired values for the rest of the fields in the dialog box.

6. Choose OK when done.

7. Repeat steps 2-6 to set up collection specifications for the Y-axis and Z-axis of the tri-
axial transducer. It is easiest to use Copy for these specifications and just change the
Transducer field.
8. You must repeat this process if you want to set up tri-axial collection specifications
with different frequency ranges, windows, signal detections, number of lines, or
number of averages.

To set up tri-axial locations and measurement definitions

You must set up a different location for each axis of a tri-axial transducer. Remember that
a location in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare consists of a position and direction.
Or click 1. Open the Database window by choosing the Database command from the Window
menu.
2. Choose the Measurement view.
3. Select the machine in the Hierarchy Tree for which you want to set up tri-axial
measurements.
4. In the Location pane, create a Location for the tri-axial measurement.

68 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Setting Up Alarms, Lists, and Inspection Codes

5. In the Measurement Definition pane, create the measurement definition for that
location. Make sure you select the correct collection specification. For example,
suppose that the transducer’s X-axis corresponds to the horizontal direction. Choose
the X-axis collection specification in the measurement definition at the location in the
horizontal direction.
Or click 6. Select the measurement definition you just created. From the Edit menu, choose the
Copy command to copy the definition.
Or click 7. From the Edit menu, choose the Paste command to paste the measurement definition
into the Measurement Definition pane. Make sure you paste under the exact same
Location.
8. Edit the pasted measurement definition to change the collection specification to
match the direction X, Y, or Z.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 to add more measurement definitions.

Setting Up Alarms, Lists, and Inspection Codes

The topics in this section describe the way EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare loads alarms,
lists, and inspection codes into the Enpac. The following sections cover:
z How you select the alarms to load to the data collector, and how EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare combines alarms when you select more than one for a
measurement definition.
z How EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare orders the measurement definitions in the list
you select to load to the data collector.
z The size and number of inspection codes EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can load
into the data collector.

For more information on alarms, lists, and inspection codes, see the online or printed
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare User’s Guide.

Alarms and the Data Collector

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac support loading alarms with the list of
measurement definitions to the data collector.

Selecting alarms to load to the Enpac

z If you want to load an alarm to the data collector with a measurement definition, you
must set Trigger to Yes in the Alarm spreadsheet.
z If you set Trigger to Yes for two or more alarms for the same measurement
definition, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare combines them to make a single alarm.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 69

Chapter 3 - Setting Up Measurements

Supported alarms with the Enpac

This list describes alarms the Enpac supports, alarms it does not support, and substitutes
for some of the unsupported alarms.
z The Enpac supports above, below, in window, and out of window magnitude alarms
for magnitude and process measurements.
z You cannot select a magnitude out of window alarm in EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare. You must create one by combining an above and a below alarm for the same
measurement definition. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare creates an out of window
alarm when it builds the load file if both alarms are active.
z The Enpac does not support spectrum (narrowband) alarms for spectrum
measurements. You can still set up spectrum alarms with spectrum measurement
definitions. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare tests the measurements against the
alarms after you unload the data.
For unsupported alarms, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare tests the measurements against
the alarms when you unload the data collector. This means that EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare always accurately indicates when a measurement is in alarm, regardless of the
number or complexity of the alarm(s). This is true for all active alarms, regardless of their
trigger status.

Storage settings and Collect and Store on Alarm settings

You can choose to have the Enpac collect a spectrum or a time waveform only if a
magnitude measurement at the same location is in alarm. From the Setup menu, choose
Storage. Edit or create a new Storage Specification. Set the Collect and Store Condition
to On Magnitude Alarm.
When measurement definitions are under the same location, EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare combines the measurement definitions if they contain many of the same
collection specification settings. Because the measurements are combined, sometimes the
Collect and Store settings do not work as you might expect. For example, if you set up a
magnitude measurement and two spectrum measurements on the same location with the
same collection specification, they are combined into one measurement. If one spectrum
has a different storage specification than the other spectrum, EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare may not follow the storage rules for the measurement because it considers the
measurements to be the same.
You can override this feature so that the Enpac collects all measurements, regardless of
the alarm status. See “Overriding the Collect On Alarm Settings” on page 84 for details.

Chapter 5 - Collecting and Reviewing Data

Overview of Collecting Data

This chapter describes how you collect data with the Enpac. The Enpac allows you to
collect data for points in a list (route) and for unscheduled data (points not defined in a
route). Once you collect your data, you can review the data on the screen, save it on a
PCMCIA card in a bitmap (.bmp) format, or print it using the RS232 interface.
This chapter covers all the tasks associated with collecting data. These topics include:
z Connecting the transducer to the data collector.
z Selecting the list.
z Collecting data using the Enpac.
z Moving through a list.
z Entering inspection codes.
z Reviewing collected data.

When you finish collecting data, you can unload the data into your EMONITOR Odyssey
or Enshare database.

Preparing for Data Collection

There are several things you should do before you start collecting data with the Enpac,
assuming you have already loaded at least one list (route) into the data collector. This
section discusses connecting the transducer and setting up the data collector options.
1. Make sure you have a fully charged battery pack. See “Checking Battery Life” on
page 19.
2. Check the date and time on the data collector. See “Setting the Date, Time, and Date
Format” on page 24.
3. Connect the transducer to the Enpac. See “Connecting the Transducer to the Data
Collector” on page 92.
4. Check the data collection options. See “Selecting the Data Collection Options” on
page 93.

Connecting the Transducer to the Data Collector

Connect the transducer to the CH1 connector of the Enpac by inserting the connector into
the jack at the top of the Enpac. The red dot on the connector should match the red dot on
the jack. Do not turn or twist the connector. To disconnect, pull out on the knurled part of
the connector. It will slip outward slightly and you can pull out the connector. Note that
the CH2 connector is not currently used in this release.

92 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Preparing for Data Collection

If you are using an external tachometer signal for phase measurements, connect your
tachometer signal to the POWER/TRIG connector at the top of the Enpac. You must also
set the Trigger field in the Instrument Setup window is to External, otherwise the Enpac
will use the internal Laser Tachometer to collect the measurement. See “Instrument Setup
Screen” on page 32 for information on how to set up the Trigger field.

Selecting the Data Collection Options

There are many options you can select before starting data collection. These options affect
the measurement, the data collection process, and the data display. The Enpac stores these
options even when powered off. However, you should check these options each time you
start data collection. The options are located in the Data Collection Configuration screen.

data collection, then collect data for the measurement definitions in the list (route). Once
you have prepared the Enpac for data collection you are ready to select a route and collect
data.
Note: If you do not use the predictive maintenance software to create and load lists to the data
collector, Enpac automatically creates a route named “Default Route” for you to use to
collect data.

Selecting a Route
The Enpac’s Data Collection program operates on a route. This can be the Default Route
or a route you create and unload with your computer software. Routes that you create with
your computer software may contain multiple points, and each point may cause the Enpac
to perform multiple measurements. Note that the default route contains only one
measurement point.
To select a route, follow these steps.

Collecting a Spectrum Measurement

One of the most useful ways to display vibration signals is in a spectrum. The spectrum
displays the vibration signal level in relation to the frequencies at which the vibration
occurs.
To display a spectrum, the Enpac analyzes the frequency components of the signal and
breaks this analysis down to a number of frequency bands where the signal level for that
band is represented by a single value. These bands are called lines. A typical spectrum
could have 400 lines although the Enpac allows you to select a smaller or larger number of
lines. The higher the lines, the higher the resolution, and the longer it takes the Enpac to
acquire the data for a spectrum.
Lines of resolution, Fmax, and number of averages all affect the length of time it takes to
acquire and process a spectrum. You can control each of these setup items either in your
computer software for route measurements or on the User screen for off route
measurements. See “Creating and Collecting a User-Defined Point” on page 106 for more
information about off route measurements.
Follow these steps to take a spectrum measurement.
1. Attach the transducer to the correct location.
2. From the Data Collection screen, press <READ/OK> to begin ranging the
measurement.
Note If you previously collected a magnitude measurement for the point, the spectrum
measurement starts automatically after you press <READ/OK> to accept the
magnitude reading. If you set Addnl Measts to Automatic in the Data Collection
Configuration screen, you do not have to press <READ/OK> again.
3. If you set Auto Advance to On in the Data Collection Configuration screen, then the
Enpac automatically goes to the next point in the list after it finishes collecting the
spectrum. If you set Auto Advance to Off, then the Signature Measurement screen

Collecting Magnitude and Phase Measurements at Orders

The Enpac can collect multiple magnitude and phase at orders of the operating speed. You
use a tachometer signal measuring the operating speed to collect phase data. This can be
an external trigger or the internal Laser Tachometer. Set the tachometer trigger in the Data
Collection Configuration screen. See “Selecting the Data Collection Options” on page 93.
Follow these steps to collect a spectrum for calculating additional magnitude and phase
values at orders of the operating speed.
1. Align the speed reference device, such as a tachometer, in the correct direction and
attach the vibration transducer properly.
2. From the Data Collection screen, press <READ/OK> to start ranging the
measurement.
Note: The message “No signal” appears if the Enpac cannot trigger off the tachometer
signal to calculate the speed. If this happens, fix the speed device signal and
connections. The Enpac resumes data collection once it can trigger off the tachometer
signal. You must use a key hole or reflection tpae to trigger the tachometer.
3. The Enpac calculates the speed from the tachometer signal and adjusts the maximum
frequency for measuring the spectrum. This ensures that all orders can be calculated
from the spectrum.

Collecting Off Route Data

The Off Route module is an optional addition to your Enpac 1200A, activated using a
security key. Contact Entek IRD for information on purchasing this module. For
information about using a security key, see “Adding Features to the Enpac” on page 34.
The Off Route module allows you to collect data that is not part of a list (route). While
collecting list data, you may notice some unusual conditions that you want to analyze
further. You may also want to collect data for undefined points (points not in your
database), or existing points that are not in your current list (route).
The Enpac always associates off route measurements with a list. If you have not loaded a
list into the Enpac, the off route data is associated with the Default Route. Off route
measurements are stored at the current point. The current point is defined by where you
leave the regular route to take an off route measurement. The Enpac labels the off route
measurements as numbers. For example, the first off route measurement is labeled “1.”
This number increments by one each time you collect an off route measurement.
To unload unscheduled measurements into the host software, you must have first loaded a
list so that the unscheduled measurements can be unloaded with that list.

Methods for Collecting Off Route Data

There are two methods for collecting off route measurements with the Enpac.
1. Choose one of the pre-defined measurements on the Off Route Measurement screen.
This method provides an easy way to collect off route measurements for the current
point. Enpac provides seven pre-defined measurements for you to use to collect the
off route data. You do not need to set any parameters if you use the pre-defined
measurements. The Enpac uses the measurement definitions for the current point. See
“Collecting Off Route Data using a Pre-Defined Measurement” on page 105.
2. Create a user-defined measurement point. This method allows you to set up and
collect any type of measurement. See “Creating and Collecting a User-Defined Point”
on page 106.

 Collecting Off Route Data

Collecting Off Route Data using a Pre-Defined Measurement

The Enpac provides seven pre-defined measurements for you to use to collect off route
data. The pre-defined measurements are as follows:
z Same - uses the same setup as the current point
z Opposite - uses the opposite setup as the current point (e.g. spectrum is time, time is
spectrum)
z Accel - acceleration spectrum point (10kHZ, 800 lines, 4 averages)
z Velocity - accel - velocity spectrum point (2kHz, 400 lines, 4 averages)
z Accel Time - time point (10kHz, 2046 points)
z High Res - high resolution point (increase number of lines by a factor of two, for
example, the current point having 400 lines becomes 800 lines)
z gSE - spike energy point
You do not set any parameters when you use a pre-defined measurement. The Enpac uses
similar settings as the measurement definitions for the current point. Follow the steps

The Input Channel field selects the plane for a tri-axial measurement, or a channel on a
Vibration Isolated Measurement Pod (VIMP). If you are using a single direction
transducer, use the default X setting. Your choices are: X,Y, and Z.
Detection
The Detection field selects the type of signal detection for the measurement. Your choices
are:
z RMS - The Enpac measures the dynamic signal as the square root of the mean of the
square. Use this or the PEAK setting for most acceleration and velocity
measurements. Use this also for time waveform, voltage, and process (DC) voltage
measurements.
z Peak - The Enpac measures the dynamic signal from zero to peak voltage. Use this or
the RMS setting for most acceleration and velocity measurements.
z Pk-Pk - The Enpac measures the dynamic signal from the minimum peak to the
maximum peak. Use this setting for most displacement measurements.
z True Peak - Use to detect impacts and random transients. The dynamic time signal
contains the absolute value of the largest peak (positive or negative) within a
specified time window. Returns a magnitude value only. If used with a spectrum
measurement, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses a Peak detection type instead.
This value is not calculated but is measured directly.
z True Pk-Pk - Use to detect impacts and random transients. The dynamic time signals
contains the absolute value of the largest peak to peak distance within a specified time
window. Returns a magnitude value only. If used with a spectrum measurement,
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare uses a Peak-Peak detection type instead. This value

z If you do not select any collectors, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare displays all
possible selections, not just those for the Enpac.
z If you select two or more different collectors, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare
displays only the selections that are available for both collectors.

As an example, there are certain filters available in the Enpac. Then there are three
possible cases:
z You select the Enpac as the only active collector. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare
displays the correct filters in the measurement filter column of the Measurement
Definition pane.
z You do not select any active collectors. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare displays
many more filters than are available for the Enpac.
z You select two or more active collectors. EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare may
display only some, or none, of the filters that are available for the Enpac.

For more information on setting the active collectors, see the printed or online
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare User’s Guide.

Q: Why can’t I edit the measurement definition units?

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare does not allow you to change some of the information
for a measurement definition after you collect data for that measurement definition. This
prevents you from collecting and then comparing data with different measurement
definition selections. You cannot edit the Data Type or Units columns in the Measurement
Definition pane after you collect data for the measurement definition. You can, however,
change the Collection, Filter, and the Storage columns for a measurement definition after
collecting data.
Note: Changing the collection specification can make it difficult to compare data after the
change with data before the change.

 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Loading Lists to the Enpac

Q: I think I lost some data. What happened?
There are several common ways you can delete data:
z You set up the Load Options to initialize the memory card before loading a list. If
you have any lists in the Enpac with data that has not been unloaded, you will lose all
lists and data before loading the specified list.
z You select the D.C. Functions button then select Initialize Data Collector. If you
have any lists in the Enpac with data that has not been unloaded, you will lose all lists
and data.
z You select the D.C. Functions button then select Clear Data from List. If the
selected list(s) have data that has not been unloaded, you will lose the data for those
lists.
z You select the D.C. Functions button then select Delete List. If the selected list(s)
have data that has not been unloaded, you will lose both the selected lists and
associated data.

Q: Why won’t EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare load a list to the

Enpac?
First, check the communication between EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac.
Note that the baud rate setting in the data collector must match the baud rate setting in
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare.
If the communication link between them is correct, it may be that the list is already loaded
in the Enpac. You must either delete the list or initialize the memory card before you can
reload a list already in the Enpac.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 119

 Q: Why does EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare rebuild the
Quickload files?
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare rebuilds a Quickload file before loading it to the data
collector when any one of the following occur:
z The list is not stored with Use Quickload File option selected.
z The measurement definitions in the list change.
z The inspection codes in the list change.
z The locations in the list change.
z The hierarchy level of items in the Hierarchy Tree that affect measurement definitions
in the list change.
z The collection specification of a measurement definition in the list changes.
z The Override Collect on Alarm settings (in the Load Option dialog box) is
selected.
z The list has been saved since last loaded.

Q: How do I load a list to the PCMCIA card?

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can load lists to either the Enpac internal memory, or to
a memory card. You control the destination for lists with the Route Memory field in the
Instrument Setup screen in the Enpac.
z Set Route Memory to Internal to store lists and data in internal Enpac memory.
z Set Route Memory to Card to store lists and data to the memory card in the Card slot.

Note that the Route Memory field setting is not applicable when unloading data.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can unload lists from both the Enpac internal memory
and the memory card at the same time.

Q: How do I tell when loading or unloading is done?

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac establish communication as soon as the
following are both true:
z The Enpac is correctly connected to the computer.
z You select the Load/Unload command from the Tools menu in EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare.

The communication link remains until you do one of the following to break
communication:
z Close the Load/Unload dialog box in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare.
z Disconnect the cable between the computer and Enpac.

 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Note that EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare indicates when it completes the loading or
unloading process.

Collecting Data with the Enpac

Q: Why does the Enpac seem to skip measurements at a

location?
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare and the Enpac are designed to make collecting data as
quick and efficient as possible. To shorten data collection time, EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare combines two or more measurement definitions at a location into a single
measurement. This allows you to collect two or more measurements by pressing a single
key on the Enpac.

Q: Why won't the Enpac combine magnitude and phase or

manual entry measurements at a location?
Two exceptions exist for combining measurement definitions. EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare and the Enpac cannot combine magnitude + phase measurements with any other
measurements. Nor can they combine manual entry measurements with any other
measurements. Both types remain as individual measurements when loaded into the
Enpac.

Q: What do the USER (eus) and USER (s) units mean?

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare allow you to create measurement definitions for many
different units. Some of these units are not directly supported in the Enpac. When you
display a measurement definition in the Enpac with an unsupported unit, the Enpac
chooses the USER units. You can still collect and store data using unsupported units.
z USERS (s) - Appears for unsupported units in a process measurement (manual entry
using the numeric key pad.
z USER (eus) - Appears for unsupported units in all other measurement types.

Q: Why are the alarms in the Enpac not what I selected?

You select the alarms you want to load with a measurement definition in EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare by setting the Trigger column to Yes for the alarm. If you select an
alarm that the data collector can handle, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare loads that
alarm into the data collector when you load the list.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 121

 Q: Why aren’t inspection codes available for a list?
You must load the inspection codes into the Enpac before they are available for a list.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare loads inspection codes only when you load a list. To
load the inspection codes, you must select Load Inspection Codes in the Load Options
dialog box in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare. You can have a different set of inspection
codes loaded with each list. For more information on inspection codes, see “Inspection
Codes and the Data Collector” on page 71.

Q: How can I reduce the ranging time required during

collection?
Long ranging times are associated with trying to collect low frequency vibration data.
Applying an overall filter helps reduce long ranging times. In particular, overall filters
with the highest low frequency cutoff point decrease ranging time the most. Try to set your
maximum frequency and lines of resolution such that the formula results in the highest
value that would be practical in your application.
Another technique that can reduce ranging time is to only use filters that are built into the
data collector.

Unloading Data from the Enpac

Q: How do I unload data from more than one list?
The Enpac allows you to unload more than one list at a time into the EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare database. Simply select the desired lists before choosing the Unload
button. For more information see “Selecting the List(s)” on page 84.

Q: How do I clear data from lists after unloading?

The Enpac allows you to clear data from a list in the Enpac after unloading it to your
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare database. This enables you to collect the list again as
needed. Simply select the Clear List on Unload check box in the Unload Options dialog
box. Another method is to use the Clear Data from List function in the Data Collector
Functions dialog box.

Q: How do I print reports after unloading data?

EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare allows you to print reports to a printer immediately after
unloading the data to your EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare database. This enables you to
view the results of the data just unloaded. Select the Auto Reports on Unload check box
in the Unload Options dialog box and highlight the desired reports.

 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Analyzing Data in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare

Q: Why does the magnitude reading not correspond to the
calculated overall value?
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can calculate an overall value from a spectrum
measurement. Under some conditions, this value may not be the same as the magnitude
measurement for the same location. The common causes for this are:
z The measurement filter is not the same for the magnitude and the spectrum
measurement definitions. In this case, the two measurement definitions are measuring
different frequency ranges.
z The magnitude readings taken by the Enpac are broadband readings and are not based
on the spectrum data.

 Glossary
Glossary
The Glossary contains definitions of many of the terms used with the Enpac and the online
help system. Boldface type indicates terms that are defined elsewhere in the glossary.

active data collector – You can define one or more data collectors as active. EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare uses the active collectors to determine the valid options when you
set up measurement definitions. Suppose you had two active data collectors:
DC1 can measure velocity in both in/sec and mm/sec
DC2 can measure velocity only in in/sec
The only choice you would see for velocity units would be in/sec, because that is
common to both active collectors. This is true for several options in EMONITOR
Odyssey or Enshare, including the number and length of inspection codes. Note that
this is different from the current data collector.
active list – The list for which you are currently collecting data. You can load multiple lists
into the Enpac. You can only collect data for one list at a time.
alarms – An alarm alerts you to a change in a measurement. For example, an alarm can
notify you when the measured value for a machine exceeds a pre-defined value. You
can create one or more alarms for each measurement definition.
archive data – The measurement data that you store in EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare.
It includes all the magnitude, process, time, and spectral data that you have collected
and unloaded or entered into the program.
averaging – Refers to the process of combining multiple data samples to reduce the random
errors and provide a more reliable measurement.
band – A frequency range, such as the frequency range between 1,800 and 3,200 Hz. A
band set consists of one or more bands. You can use bands to define specific frequency
ranges and values used - band maximum amplitude or band sum - for a band alarm.
band alarm – An alarm that operates on defined frequency bands in a measurement.
Each band can have its own alarm levels. The band definition determines whether the
alarm in each band is set on the band maximum amplitude or the band sum.
band filter – A filter to use during data collection to help obtain high quality data. You can
use a band filter (high pass, low pass, or both) or a percentage filter to remove specific
frequency ranges from the measurement.
band maximum amplitude – Also known as peak in band and band peak. The Band
maximum amplitude is the highest amplitude at a spectral line in a band.
band set – One or more bands, each of which defines a specific frequency range. A band
set might contain three bands: from 500 to 1,200 Hz, from 2,000 to 3,800 Hz, and from

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 125

Glossary

3,800 to 5,000 Hz. You can use a band set to define specific frequency ranges for a
band alarm.
band sum – Also called band limited overall value. This is the total energy in a spectrum
between two frequencies. If the band contains the entire spectrum, the band sum value
is the same as the magnitude value for the entire spectrum.
baseline measurement – A reference measurement you identify from the archive data for
a measurement definition. It indicates the proper operating condition of a piece of
equipment. You can use it as a comparison to other measurements, and in alarms.
Clipboard – A temporary holding space for text and graphics. The Clipboard allows you
to copy and paste information within a program, or from one program to another
program.
collection specification – The collection specification defines the parameters used when
collecting a measurement. This includes the type of transducer, windowing factor,
signal detection, frequency range, resolution, number and type of averages, and whether
to collect phase and order normalize the measurement.
current data collector – EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can communicate with only
one data collector at a time. This data collector is called the current data collector. You
can select only one current collector for load and unload operations. Note that this is
different from an active data collector.
current list – The most recently recalled or created set of measurement definitions held
in the computer’s memory or saved on the computer’s hard disk. You can load the
current list into a data collector for data collection. You can also view plots or create a
report from the data associated with the current list.
cursor – A line or symbol that traces the data and provides an accurate read out of the X
axis (typically time or frequency) and the Y axis (typically vibration amplitude) values.
data collector – A data collector is a device that measures and stores vibration and other
data. Vibration data may include magnitude, spectrum, time waveform, and phase data.
Other data may include process measurements such as pressure, temperature, and
operating hours.
database – One or more related files that contain information on a common topic. The
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare database contains both the hierarchical setup for the
machinery as well as the data collected from the machinery.
Database window – The Database window contains one or more displays of information
from the database. The Database window can be split into two or more parts, called
panes. The different panes in the Database window are: Hierarchy, Location,
Measurement Definition, Alarms, and Archive data.
dialog box – A dialog box contains the options and settings for a command. Dialog boxes
allow you to enter information, as well as to review and change existing settings, before
you execute the command.
full scale value – The maximum expected amplitude (Y-axis) value for the data. If the data

126 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Glossary

exceeds the full scale value, it may not be possible to display or collect the full
amplitude range without adjusting the full scale value. In general, the full scale should
be the smallest value that is greater than the largest possible amplitude of the data.
harmonic cursors – Multiple cursors that are at constant multiples of a fundamental
frequency. Typically you position a single cursor at the desired fundamental frequency
and then press a key to activate the harmonic cursors. These cursors help identify the
related frequency components in a spectrum.
Hierarchy Tree – A graphic illustration of the database hierarchy. It contains the
machines in your predictive maintenance system. You display the Hierarchy Tree by
opening the Hierarchy pane in the Database window.
high pass filter – A filter that excludes all frequencies below a defined frequency, also
called a low frequency corner. It allows, or passes, frequencies above the defined
frequency. It is useful for removing high vibration, low frequency signal components
that would dominate the signal.
hypertext link – A connection between two topics in the Online Help System. There are
two types of hypertext links. The first is a hypertext jump, indicated by green text with
a solid underline. The second is a hypertext pop up, indicated by green text with a
dashed underline. Clicking on a hypertext jump displays the underlined help topic.
Clicking on a hypertext pop up displays a window containing a definition of the
underlined term.
inspection codes – Some data collectors allow you to store an inspection code with a
measurement. Inspection codes, also called note codes, can be used to indicate the
operating condition of a piece of equipment (e.g. hot bearings, stopped, etc.). They can
also be assigned directly to an item in the Hierarchy Tree or location, or by importing
data.
list – A set of measurement definitions, also called a route. You can create a list from
individual measurement definitions or from other lists. A list can be saved in, and
recalled from, the database. The most recently recalled or created list is called the
current list. You can load one or more lists into a data collector, and you can plot or
report on the data from the items in a list.
list type – List types allow you to group lists by their function. For instance, you might
group lists like this:

Purpose List type

Everyday data collection Scheduled
In-depth assessment Diagnostic
One-time collection Temporary

List window – A window that contains a display of locations in the current list. A list is
a set of measurement definitions. You can open only one List window, and the List
window cannot be split into panes.

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 127

Glossary

load file – When you load a list into a data collector, EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare
first creates a load file from the list. The load file contains all the measurement
definitions in the list, in a format that can be loaded into the data collector.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can create load files ahead of time from Quickload
lists.
location – A location can be a physical point in a plant, in an area, on an equipment train,
or on a machine. For vibration measurements, a location is a combination of a physical
point and a direction for the measurement. Each location is attached to an item in the
Hierarchy Tree.
low pass filter – A low pass filter excludes frequencies above a defined frequency. It
allows, or passes, frequencies below the defined frequency. It is useful as an anti-
aliasing filter.
magnitude alarm – An alarm that defines the safe operating boundary for magnitude data
from a piece of equipment or a process. Magnitude data can be overall vibration,
temperature, operating speed, or any other process measurement.
magnitude measurement – Single value representing the total energy of a measurement.
For example, a vibration magnitude represents the total energy in a vibration spectrum.
Trends of magnitude readings are typically used to predict when a machine or process
could exceed safe operating conditions.
measurement – A measurement is a single reading collected from a location and
controlled by a measurement definition. Measurements are usually collected with a
data collector, and stored in the database. The measurement may be magnitude data
such as an overall displacement value, spectrum data such as a single acceleration
spectrum, or some other kind of data.
measurement definition – A measurement definition is a set of parameters that controls
the collection of a measurement. It defines the type of measurement (magnitude,
spectrum, time, …). It also includes the collection, measurement filter, and storage
specifications. Each measurement definition is attached to a location.
measurement filter – A filter that is applied when taking a measurement. It is specified as
part of a measurement definition, and may be either a band filter or other type of filter
such as an envelope or overall filter.
memory card – A removable hardware card, or PCMCIA card, containing non-volatile
memory for additional storage, used with a computer or data collector. PCMCIA stands
for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association.
note codes – See inspection codes.
operating system – The internal software of a data collector that determines how the data
collector operates. You should always use the most recent operating system version
available to you.
orders – Multiples of the operating speed of a piece of equipment. The first order is the
operating speed. The second order is two times the operating speed, and so on.

128 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Glossary

overload – Occurs when the input signal from your transducer exceeds the current setting
of the data collector hardware. You should not collect data when the input signal is
generating an overload condition of the data collector; instead, you should adjust the
data collector settings for the transducer.
pane – A pane is a part of a window. There are two types of panes: plot and database. A
plot pane contains a graphical display of data, like a spectrum plot. A database pane
contains either the Hierarchy Tree or a spreadsheet showing the information saved in
the database.
PCMCIA card – A removable hardware card, or memory card, containing non-volatile
memory for additional storage, used with a computer or data collector. PCMCIA stands
for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association.
plot – A plot is a graphical display of data. Some examples are spectrum, trend, and time
plots.
plot window – A Plot window contains one or more graphical displays of data. Plot
windows can be split into two or more parts, called panes. Note that minimizing a plot
window unlinks the window from the Database window.
process measurement – Also called process point. A single value that indicates the general
condition of a process or equipment. For example, process measurements can be used
to record any of the following:
temperature pressure
flow valve position
operating speed operational hours
process (DC) voltage measurement - A single valued measurement taken directly from a
DC voltage output. Similar to a process measurement; however you directly measure
the value instead of entering it with the data collector keypad.
Quickload list – A list of measurement definitions to be loaded into a data collector.
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare builds and saves Quickload lists as load files so that
they do not have to be rebuilt every time before loading into the data collector.
resolution – The accuracy of something based on the number of discrete values used to
define it. One example is the resolution of a spectrum measurement. This refers to the
number of spectral lines that are combined to display the spectrum data. A higher
resolution results in a clearer image due to more discrete values defining the object.
route – See list.
signature – A signature can be either a time or a spectrum measurement. It is a general term
used for multi-valued data, as opposed to single-valued data such as a magnitude or a
process measurement.
spectral line – A spectral line is an individual discrete frequency in a spectrum
measurement. A spectral line is sometimes called a “bin”, a “delta f”, a “line”, or a “line
of resolution.”

Enpac 1200A User’s Guide 129

Glossary

spectrum alarm – Also called narrowband alarm. It defines the safe operating boundary
for spectrum data from a piece of equipment.
spectrum measurement – A measure of amplitude versus frequency, typically vibration
for monitoring systems. Spectrum measurements are useful for identifying the
contribution of individual components (bearings, fans, gears, etc.). It is much easier to
separate elements of vibration in the frequency domain than in the time domain.
spectrum plot – A spectrum plot is a graph of amplitude versus frequency. Usually the
amplitude is a measure of the acceleration, velocity, or displacement at that frequency.
spreadsheet – A display of information from the database that displays data in rows and
columns (like a table). Spreadsheets appear either in dialog boxes, or in windows. You
can add, edit, or delete information through spreadsheets.
storage specification – The storage specification controls when to collect a measurement,
and how long to store it on the computer’s hard disk. You can use the storage
specification to force the collection and storage of a measurement at a given time
interval, or if a measurement exceeds an alarm.
tachometer – A device for measuring the speed of rotation of a machine or component.
time waveform measurement – A measure of time along the horizontal axis and
amplitude along the vertical axis (similar to oscilloscope readings). It is easy to see the
vibration amplitude and general shape of the signal in a time waveform measurement.
They are useful for identifying simple vibration signals and viewing impulsive type
signals.
time waveform plot – A time waveform plot is a graphical display of amplitude versus
time for a single measurement.
transducer – A transducer is a device for making measurements. These include
accelerometers, velocity pickups, displacement probes, and temperature sensors.
transducer specification – A transducer specification defines the characteristics of a
transducer. These include the transducer name, type, base unit, and calibration.
trend plot – A trend plot is a graph of the amplitude of a measurement against time, usually
displaying the trend in a magnitude or process measurement over days, weeks, or
months.
unload report – A report that EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare automatically creates after
you unload data from a data collector or import data from a file. The report uses the
list of measurement definitions unloaded from the data collector or imported from the
file.
unscheduled measurement – Measurements you make that are not part of a list in the data
collector. You can collect and unload unscheduled measurements with the data
collector. After unloading, you may want to identify unscheduled measurements to
store them with the correct machine in the database.
view – A view is an arrangement of panes in either a Database window or a Plot window.

130 Enpac 1200A User’s Guide

 Glossary

A view is also an arrangement of columns in the List window. You can save a view by
giving it a name. Once you save a view, you can recall it to change the panes in the
active window.
window – A window is an area on your screen containing a program or a view of data. The
EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare program runs in the EMONITOR Odyssey or
Enshare window. The windows within EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare can contain
reports, the current list, or one or more panes showing a plot or a database view.
