Getting Started

The Vexo H instrument has three states of basic operation: -

•

Stop State

•

Record State

•

Playback

Whilst the instrument is in the Record State the vibration activity is analysed

and all parameters available on your instrument are calculated.

The data captured is saved to the internal flash memory and can be viewed

onscreen or downloaded to Castle’s vibration analysis software

Vibdata LITE

VibdataPro

as and when required.

To Start or Stop a recording press the following key

Whilst the instrument is in the Stop State, calculations are displayed on screen

but are not stored in flash memory.

Exposure Points are only available at the end of a recording or when viewing a

saved recording. The option to display Exposure Points must also be set to On.

During Stop State it is possible to change the Settings and undertake Calibration

of the instrument.

Stop State, Record State and playback can easily be distinguished: -
