Start Data Collection
After setting the data collector options and selecting a route, you are now ready to
start data collection.
Follow these steps to start collecting data.
1. Once you have selected a list, you begin collecting data from the
designated point on the route.
2. Connect the transducer and press Enter to start a measurement.
3. If necessary, press Enter again to collect a measurement depending on the
Auto Store setting in the Instrument Configuration screen.
See Instrument Configuration Parameters on page 44 .
You may notice that a Bias Check is taken if the parameter is set to Auto.
IMPORTANT The Enpac 2500 data collector supplies power to ICP accelerometers
through CH1 and CH2 connectors. The ICP power turns on prior to collecting
the first measurement point and remains on until the following occurs:
• You reach the end of the route.
• The data collector advances to a measurement point that does not
require ICP power.
• You exit the route menu.
Do not connect the channel to a BNC panel or non ICP device until the Enpac
2500 data collector advances to a non ICP measurement point. Connecting
the channel while collecting a measurement point that requires ICP power
may cause undesirable results, damage to the equipment, or unexpected
machinery trips.
