be associated with a Factory. Note that a Machine
appears below the Factory in the explorer as a lower level.
Similarly, a Measurement Point is the next level below a
Machine and must be associated with a Machine. A
Route is a subset of a Factory but not associated with a
specific Machine or Measurement Point because a Route
can contain several different Machines and measurement
Points.
Only items that are appropriate for the current level of the
Database can be added. For example, in order to add a
new factory the highest level must be highlighted. If a
button is disabled it is because that item cannot be add at
this level. For example when a new Machine is selected
the Add a New Factory button is disabled because a new
Factory cannot be added as a subset of a new Machine.
Use the toolbar buttons to add Factories, Machines,
Points, Entries and Routes to the database to represent
the vibration data collection plan for your facility. The
figure below illustrates a database that includes two
Factories and four Machines. Each Machine includes one
or more measurement points. Each measurement Point
includes one or more measurement Entries. Factory 1 is
selected in the upper half and its contents are displayed in
the lower half of the explorer.
