How to Set Up your

GX Series Microlog

Module Objective(s)

To instruct the new GX Series Microlog User on how to set the Microlog’s “system” settings and “global

measurement” parameters.

Two General “Setup” Screens

Config uration Screen for Global Measurement Settings

Setup Mode for System Settings

Setup Mode - “System” Settings

Setup Screen Fields

• Right arrow to open field.

• Up/Down arrow to select

new setting.

• Left arrow, or Enter

button to accept change

and close field.

apply new settings

“Setup” Fields

Route Memory – Internal or Card

Timeout - 5 min , 10 min , 15 min , 20 min , or Off

IrDA – Disabled or Enabled (for use with ActiveSync operations) Baud Rate – for serial communications / must match MA

Flow Control – Off or Hardware

Default Units – English or Metric (e.g., in/sec or mm/sec)

Date Format – DD/MM/YYYY ; MM/DD/YYYY ; YYYY/MM/DD

Time Zone – for use with ActiveSync operations

Date / Time - set current date and time

“Setup” Fields (continued)

Memory – Delete All Routes or Initialize

• Delete All Routes - preserves your system preferences, but deletes ROUTE and non-ROUTE measurements and data

• Initialize - erases all stored data, but preserves the system settings and parameters and also refreshes the active memory if the Microlog is experiencing memory

related problems

Purge Cache – On or Off

• On - quickest resetting of ROUTE data, but requires more Microlog memory

• Off – select Off if memory issues exist

Route Font – Big or Small (Small setting displays hierarchy level

icons)

Language - select language for GX Series Microlog displays

Configuration “Global Measurement” Settings

both ROUTE and Non ROUTE

provide access to Config settings

“Config” Fields

Freq Units – Hz , CPM , or Orders

Fast Averaging – On or Off

• On – display is updated as often as possible

• Off – only final averaged spectrum displays

Auto Advance – On or Off (display spectrum during ROUTE

collection?)

• On – quickly advance through ROUTE data collection without displaying spectral

results

• Off – display the resulting spectrum for each spectral measurement

Aquisition – Single Shot or Continuous (stop measurements after averaging process, or repeat measurements until Enter is pressed)

“Config” Fields (continued)

Input Range – Auto or Manual (set amplitude range scaling method)

• Auto –automatically scales optimal amplitude range for the input signal

• Manual – applies the measurement’s Full Scale setting as in MA

Autoranging – Conservative , Aggressive , or Fixed

• Conservative – slower data collection, with higher quality data

• Aggressive – provides faster data collection, with greater potential for settling error

• Fixed – no autoranging is performed Input range fixed according to the transducer type and sensitivity

Machine Speed – Normal or Slow

• Normal – select for measurements on shafts rotating at or above 600 RPM.

• Slow – select if ski slope or settling problems occur on shafts rotating below 600

“Config” Fields (continued again)

Settling Delay – if ski slope problems occur, a settling delay of 2 or 3 seconds is recommended

High Pass Filter – Fixed or Variable

• Fixed – the High-pass Filter setting is always 1.1 Hz.

• Variable – the Microlog uses the Low Frequency Cut-off setting from

Machine Analyst software.

Route ICP – Never or Always (specified for your sensor, disable or enable sensor ICP)

“Config” Fields (continued again still)

Memory – Purge , Delete ROUTE , Delete all ROUTEs , or Initialize

measurements.

system settings.

NonROUTE POINTs stored within the Microlog Preserves system settings, and refreshes memory if the Microlog is experiencing memory-like problems.

Fill Spectrum – On or Off

Trigger Level – Automatic or Fixed

setting in the NonROUTE mode’s User setup screen applies.
