A speed profile looks like the following diagram.
10. You can modify the display by pressing the softkeys. When you have manipulated the
display to your satisfaction, press <DONE>.
Note:
You can press the (Apply Runout) or (No Runout) softkeys. This function is employed
to remove or “zero” the initial run-out component during slow roll.
11. Store the collected data by pressing <F4> (Store to Card). Note that this option is only
available when the data displayed has not already been stored and spectral display is not
full screen.
12. Review data or continue collecting data, if desired. You may pause to:
z
Review the data just collected by pressing <F5> (Magnify).
z
Continue data collection and edit a point description by pressing <F1> (Edit Point).
Methods for Measuring Machine Speed
The dataPAC has several ways to measure machine speed and this section discusses all of
them. Also, it indicates which dataPAC models and which versions of software support the
various features.
Phase-Magnitude-Speed
First, the dataPAC 1500 supports a phase-magnitude-speed type measurement which
includes a measurement of the machine speed. This measurement requires a reference input,
such as a laser tachometer. The term reference input refers to the BNC input on the dataPAC
1500. There are other accessories besides the LASETACH® that can be used for a reference
input, such as a photo cell accessory. All versions of the dataPAC 1500 software support
this measurement type. The dataPAC 1250 does not have a reference input and does not
support the phase-magnitude-speed measurement type.
