see Chapter 2 (propeller balancing) and Chapter 3 (rotor
balancing).
The spectrum tab shows a spectral display, a list of captured
spectra, a list of spectral lines and some buttons. See Chapter 4
for a detailed description of the spectrum tab.
Spectrum
The data tab shows an area that displays the current vibration
data (RPM, IPS, DEG) as text and some buttons. See Chapter 5
for a detailed description of the data tab.
Data
Fig 1.1. Initial screen
The PB-4 user interface is "responsive" - the layout changes depending on the
resolution and orientation of the user interface's screen. It should be usable
on many different user interface devices. For in-cockpit use, a 7" form factor
tablet is ideal. For lower resolution devices, you may find that changing the
orientation to landscape is beneficial.
1.3. Jobs
The PB-4 supports the notion of a "job".
• A job is simply a named collection of data (points and spectra) associated
with a single balancing job.
• There is always a
current job. The name of the current job is displayed
alongside the connect button. When data is captured, it will be stored in the
current job.
• Each job is named and may be loaded into the user interface to become
the current job. The points and spectra captured for that job can then be
viewed.
• When new, the PB-4 contains a single job, called "default".
