Chapter 5. Data Tab
The data tab displays the current vibration data (RPM, IPS, DEG) in a text form.
Here we see the data tab displaying data for the X and Y axes.
Fig 5.1. Data tab (with options visible)
If the Capture Points and/or Capture Spectra checkboxes are enabled (see
below), clicking within the box that surrounds the displayed values will initiate
a capture. The box will flash green to indicate that the capture was successful.
It will flash red if the PB-4 is not connected or neither of the capture
checkboxes are enabled.
The Update checkbox controls whether the data display is automatically
updated to show the latest data returned by the PB-4 when it is connected. If
not checked, the last displayed data is preserved. So if you want to pause the
display, un-check this checkbox.
5.1. Data Options button
The Data Options button toggles the display of the data options box (visible
above), the options are:
• Drop down menus, Axis 1 and Axis 2 let you choose the axes to display.
• The Capture Points checkbox enables the capture of points when the data
box is clicked. It also controls whether points will be captured when the
PB-4's offline capture button is pressed.
