Chapter 6 Multi-channel Measurements
Dual Channel
Measurements The Emonitor software and the Dynamix 2500 data collector support dual
channel measurements definitions.
Set Up Dual Channel Measurement Definitions in the Emonitor
Software
Follow these steps to set up a dual channel measurement.
1. Set up a location in the Location pane for the two input channels.
The Location Ids must be different. Set Lo. Channel for the first location
to 1. And set Lo. Channel for the second location to 2.
The measurement definitions must be the same for both locations.
2. Assign the same group number to the locations to collect the
measurements properly.
Follow these steps to set up the dual channel measurements in the Emonitor
software.
1. Select the machine in the Hierarchy Tree for which you want to set up the
dual channel measurements.
2. In the Location pane, create the first location and set Lo. Channel to 1.
3. In the Measurement Definition pane, create the measurement definition.
4. In the Location pane, select the new location that you just created. Choose
Edit > Copy to copy the location.
5. Move to an empty row in the Location pane and choose Edit > Paste to
paste the new location into the spreadsheet.
6. Edit the new location. Make sure you set Lo. Channel to 2.
7. Include these locations in a list. You can create a new list or recall the
current list. The locations must be tagged to create a group list.
8. Add the two locations to a group list by double-clicking the Group column
in the Location pane.
IMPORTANT Make sure the measurement definitions are not similar to
either the orbit measurement definitions or the cross channel
phase measurement definitions. You may get unexpected
results.
