Of all the options available on this screen, there is only one you
should initially change from the default value:
Interval Time
.
It is suggested that you change this value (more commonly
called Sampling Time) from 50ms to 500ms to avoid filling up the
on-board flash memory with redundant information (nearly
identical samples taken too close together in time). Note that the
Current Time
and
Start Record Time
fields have already been
synchronized to your PC’s clock. You can always change the other
default values later, after you have gained some experience
operating the OM-VIB-101 system and the Shock software.
After you have changed the
Interval Time
to 500ms, click
OK
at
the bottom left of the screen to save the settings.
DEPLOY DATA LOGGER
To obtain accurate readings, the data logger must be securely
attached to the equipment whose vibration or motion history you
wish to log and analyze.
The data logger fits snugly in the supplied mounting pedestal. To
insert the logger in the pedestal, turn the locking thumbscrew
(Fig. 1, Callout G) to loosen it, raise the clamp (Fig. H), insert the
logger, lower the clamp over it, and turn the thumbscrew to
secure the clamp.
There are three ways to attach the pedestal and data logger to the
equipment whose acceleration is to be measured: 1) Using the
three magnets on the back of the pedestal (Fig. 1, Callout J);
2) Using screws or bolts (not included) to permanently attach the
pedestal to the equipment through the three holes in the pedestal
(Callout K); 3) Gluing the pedestal to the equipment.
