Collecting Off Route Time Waveform Measurements
1.
Press <STORE> to start the measurement. The dataPAC ranges and collects the data.
2.
Once the dataPAC collects the measurement, press <STORE> again to store the
measurement. You can view the measurement in progress for as long as you wish
without storing. The dataPAC displays a small folder with the number 1 in it after you
press <STORE>. This indicates that the dataPAC has saved the measurement. The
number in the folder indicates the number of measurements you have taken at this
point. If you have Data Overwrite enabled, only the data from the last time you pressed
<STORE> is unloaded to your database.
Note:
See “Selecting the Data Collection Options” on page 127 for more information about
the Data Overwrite option.
The measurement is stored as an off route measurement at the storage point displayed
below.
3.
Press <DONE> when you are finished. You can view the last measurement, if you
stored it, by pressing <F3> (Review Data).

General speaking, the amplitude of gSE time waveform has a relationship to the severity of
the problem you are trying to detect. In some cases, you may not detect a problem from the
gSE overall or gSE spectrum due to averaging and/or windowing, but you can clearly see it
using the gSE time waveform. A possible example would be a bearing or gear defect in its
very early stages.
