Time / rotation speed diagram

 
1. Time / rotation speed diagram
Switches on the display of a time / speed diagram. Switching it off allows a bigger area for the magnitude / phase diagram.
 
Example: The speed diagram shows a speed up measurement with a short drive interruption at 9600 1/min after 1 hour.

Data-reliability

 
2. Data-reliability
Different types of traces inform you about the reliability of the measured values. Each trace is divided into several rotation speed sections. Revolutions belonging to the same rotation speed are averaged.
• Grey line
0 ..1 revolution measured in this section, less reliable
• Thin line in channel color
2..9 revolutions measured in this section, acceptable reliability
• Bold line in channel color
10 or more revolutions measured in this section, good reliability

Grid density

 
3. Grid density
If you activate this checkbox, VM-TRACK will show grid lines at all graduation marks of the frequency axis.
4

Permanent autoscaling

 
4. Permanent autoscaling
The frequency axis is permanently adapted so that all lines with more than 5 % of the highest magnitude are visible.
5

Automatic scaling

 
5. Automatic scaling
Automatically scales the frequency axis.
6

Compress / expand

 
6. Compress / expand
These buttons compress or expand the measurement curve.
7

Unit for frequency axis

 
7. Unit for frequency axis
Switch between Hz and 1/min.
8

Step size

 
8. Step size
The step size (shown in scale lengths) by which measurement curves and scale are shifted during a movement. For instance, 10% means that the measurement curves are moved by 1/10 of the frequency axis.

Frequency shift

 
If in order analysis mode different orders are examined you can choose here how the frequency axis as scaled:
Measurements are displayed at their actual frequencies. This will help you to detect resonance frequencies.
Measurements are scaled to order 1, i.e. rotation frequency. The diagram will show you the reaction of the test object in different orders at the same speed.
