Chapter 1 The Dynamix 2500 Data Collector
With the combination of predictive maintenance software and the Dynamix
2500 data collector, you can do the following:
• Create lists of measurement definitions for data collection.
• Load lists from the Emonitor software into the Dynamix 2500 data
collector.
• Collect magnitude, process, spectrum, time, and phase data.
• View selected alarms with the data.
The Dynamix 2500 data collector alerts you when a measurement exceeds
an alarm.
• Define and collect unscheduled measurements.
• Select inspection codes to store with a measurement, documenting the
condition of the machine.
• Unload the data from the Dynamix 2500 data collector directly into the
Emonitor database, along with any inspection codes and unscheduled
measurements.
In addition, the Emonitor software can optimize your data collection by
combining measurement definitions at a location. For example, the
software can combine magnitude and spectrum measurement definitions
so that the list appears to contain only a single measurement. This lets you
to collect all three measurements at one time, minimizing the time you
spend collecting data.
