PC Vibration Measurement System VibroMetra

Unified control elements

 
All VibroMetra have a similar design and handling for basic functions to ensure a quick orientation.
 
 

Start/Stop button

 
All instruments feature a Start/Stop button, which changes its look depending on the state.
 
  • If an instrument was started, measured values are updated continuously. The indicator in the button is lit and the label shows the function of the next click: Stop measurement.
  • If an instrument was stopped, the last measured values are displayed but do not change. The indicator in the button is no longer lit and the label shows the function of the next click: Start measurement.
 
The VibroMetra allows to start/stop all instruments centrally.
 
 

Collapse/expand control panel

 
For a space-saving presentation, you can collapse the control panel of many instruments. Switching is possible by means a button which changes its look depending on the status
 
  • In the compact presentation, the control panel is collapsed and the instrument uses less space on the screen. The label of the button shows the function of the next click: Expanding the control panel so that the settings of the instruments can be adjusted.
  • In the extended presentation, the control panel is expanded and the settings of the instruments can be adjusted. The label of the button shows the function of the next click: Reducing the presentation to the display of measured values.
 
 

Clone funtion

 
The clone function allows you to multiply an instrument which you have purchased once. The instrument is copied with all settings. Nevertheless each instrument setting may be changed separately afterwards.
 
 

Select measuring channel

 
The measuring channels as the instruments’ signal source can be switched. The list shows all measuring channels which are available for the instrument, i.e. which the instrument is registered on.
 
Each measuring channel represents an input of the USB device. If you entered a name for the measuring channel, this name is listed up here. If you did not name the channel, a standard name is used consisting of the M302 / M312 device and channel number.
 
 

Gain on a measuring channel

 
The gain of each measuring channel can be changed in an instrument, i.e. the gain in the measurement electronics of a channel is changed. A gain change in one instrument will automatically change the gain in all other instruments connected to the same channel.
Besides fixed gain ranges, VibroMetra features an autoranging function. It automatically switches to a higher/lower range when the input signal is too high/low for more than 1s.
 

Report printing

 
Many instruments are able to print the measurement results in reports. No additional software is required for simple report printing. Report templates are configured once. For report printing, you simply select a template and start printing.
