PDA-based vibration analyzer
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 2/1/2006
Attached to a PDA running Palm OS, the VSA-1212 vibration spectrum analyzer uses standard off-the-shelf ICP-type piezoelectric accelerometers for machine condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and routine troubleshooting. The Datastick Spectrum handheld software collects vibration measurements and displays them in time waveforms and FFT spectra complete with alarm levels. Measurement data is collected, viewed, analyzed, and stored on the PDA and then exported to the desktop PC for viewing, further analysis, trending, reporting, storage, and publishing to the enterprise and the web. Datastick Reporting System software receives the data from the handheld into a special VSA Microsoft Excel workbook on the PC with just two mouse clicks. Datastick Systems, www.datastick.com.
