The VSA-1225 vibration spectrum analyzer works with the Windows Mobile/Pocket PC platform. It joins Datastick's line of Palm-based VSAs in enabling companies to use portable vibration analysis in machine-condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and routine troubleshooting. The VSA-1225 consists of Datastick hardware and software, plus the Hewlett-Packard iPAQ handheld computer, and one or more sensors.
The VSA-1225 hardware module attaches to an HP iPAQ hx2400-series or hx2700-series handheld. The iPAQ supplies the computing power and 128 Mbytes of data storage, while the Datastick VSA hardware module supplies the sensor power, Datastick electronics, and interface. SD (Secure Digital) memory cards (up to 2 Gbytes each) provide auxiliary storage.
For the handheld computer, the Datastick Spectrum software suite includes Datastick Spectrum and Datastick Review software. New Version 1.8 of Datastick Spectrum software records and shows vibration fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectra in acceleration, velocity, and displacement displays, as well as in a new vibration decibel display. In addition, Spectrum provides time-domain acceleration waveforms, and records and displays overall vibration with color-coded ISO (or custom) alert levels.
