Introduction to the SKF GX Series Microlog
What is the GX Series Microlog System?
Microlog Application Modules
The GX Series Microlog utilizes application modules installed on the unit to perform
various machinery monitoring needs. Each module performs a specific vibration
monitoring task. Current modules include:
•
Setup
•
Sensor Setup
•
Route
•
Analyzer
•
Balancing
•
Data Recorder
•
Run Up / Coast Down
•
Frequency Response Function
•
Check to Conformance
•
Spindle Test
•
Idler Sound Monitor
All of the above modules are preinstalled at the SKF factory on all Microlog models.
However, not all modules are
pre-licensed on all Microlog models. A module must be
licensed for it to be active (i.e., unlicensed modules are inactive, and display dimmed
module icons). The various GX Series Microlog models (GX-R, -M, and –F) have specific
modules pre-
licensed at the SKF factory. However, if you require a module that
is not
pre-licensed for any Microlog model, you may purchase the license and activate the
module at your site. This allows you to customize your GX Series Microlog for your
specific needs.
ROUTE Based Microlog Models
The GX-R, -M, and -F series Microlog systems are pre-licensed
for ROUTE based data
collection purposes. That is, they facilitate the collection and review of
ROUTE
measurements downloaded from SKF @ptitude Analyst host software.
