7. Press Enter to start taking the measurement.
8. Point the data collector.
Notice that the Laser Tach is operational.
9. When the measurement stabilizes, press Enter to store the reading.
Multi-channel Measurements You can collect measurements from a combination of X, Y, Z, R channels. When
collecting data the multiple measurements are collected simultaneously and
displayed on the Spectrum Display screen.
Collect a 4-channel Measurement
The 4-channel activation, catalog number 1441-DYN25-M4CH, is available as
an upgrade for the Dynamix 2500 data collector. A cable assembly is required
also, catalog number 1441-DYN25-CBL2CH.
These are the 4-channel functions.
• Simultaneous 4-channel magnitude
• Simultaneous 4-channel time waveform
• Simultaneous 4-channel spectra
• Offroute measurements
See Install Optional Extension Modules on page 205 for complete information
on how to install an extension module.
TIP You press F1 (Config) on the Route Manager screen to set the trigger. You
can also set the trigger on the Instrument Configuration screen by
pressing 0 on the Data Collection screen:
•
Set the trigger to Laser Tach if using the internal trigger.
•
Set the trigger to External if using a external trigger device.
ATTENTION: When the laser on the data collector is active, viewing the
laser beam can expose your eyes beyond the maximum permissible
exposure recommendations and cause harm.
IMPORTANT The data collector supports the 4-channel functionality. Currently the 4-
channel route function is not supported in the Emonitor software. A
future release of the Emonitor software will have this capability.
