The trend curve can be generated from the measuring type-specific characteristics
(characteristic over time) by cyclic repetition of individual measurements. This is
used in particular as a basis for condition-oriented maintenance. For this, meas-
urement series can be generated based on existing individual measurements.
This ensures that the measurement series is based on the same measurement.
Measurement series are used as the basis for condition-oriented maintenance be-
cause the trend curve and the limit values provide a basis for planning mainte-
nance activities.
How each test is conducted is described in Section 2.3 Test series on the
machine.
The machine operator can view the measurement results on the operator panel of
the machine and on the PC. Trend curves derived from measurement series can
only be viewed by the operator on the PC.
Individual measurements for an axis
Measurements that are not generated by the measurement series are displayed in
a table. The measurements to be displayed can be selected in this table. Several
measurements can be selected.

Displaying individual measurements
The "Display table of individual measurements" function opens each of the individ-
ual measurements selected in a separate diagram.
