Advanced Settings
After you connect to a gateway, you can view device settings. These include three features that
provide detailed data.
Data on Demand
Use this option to request immediate data. Data is displayed within 8 to 10 minutes. The most
recently scheduled measurements, if any, are canceled. Any additional measurements are
delayed 90 minutes.
Data on Vibration
Use this option to set a vibration threshold which, when exceeded, enables display of overall or
dynamic measurements. This can be useful for low vibration machines or machines that are not
currently running.
l
If vibration is below the threshold, overall values are published as zero and dynamic
measurement transfers are skipped.
l
If vibration is above the threshold, data is published and transferred as configured.
Data on Severity
Use this option to display data depending on the severity of the vibration based on user-defined
limits.
