Appendix - VIBXPERT utility

Connection

Setting up a connection with VIBXPERT

Data transmission takes place via a network or USB connection.

• Connect VIBXPERT to the network or a PC using the cable

provided (see also p. 2-32).

• Click on the 'Connection' button.

• Set the type of connection (USB or Ethernet).

•

For Ethernet only:

Enter the IP address of the data collector in the

network in the 'IP address' field (see also p. 2-34f.).

• To test the connection, click on the 'Test communication' button. If

the connection is working, a yellow 'Smiley' symbol appears. A red
'Smiley' symbol indicates a faulty connection.

VIBXPERT successfuly connected

Configuring VIBXPERT

The configuration encompasses the following functions:
- Updating the firmware
- Transferring logo images for the report printouts

• Click on the 'Configure device' button.

• The 'New firmware' button starts the 'VIBXPERT update tool' that

updates the firmware in VIBXPERT (see also p. 2-37f.).

This program must be installed in the designated directory on the
PC:
C:\Programs\Pruftechnik\vibxpert\VxpUpdateTool

• Click on 'Report-Logo' button, to load a new logo image into

VIBXPERT. The logo appears on each printed report page top
right. File requirements:

Format: PNG / Size: 200 pixel (longest side)
