The ROUTE Module
Overview
Your @ptitude Analyst host software's ROUTE feature allows you to build measureme
nt
collection sequences (ROUTEs) to help you perform the most efficient data collection.
When you originally constructed your @ptitude Analyst database by the hierarchy
method, you more than likely organized the hierarchy by area, by machine type, or by
some similar grouping. If you download POINTs to the GX Series Microlog collector in
hierarchy order, a person collecting data will have to “skip around” in the ROUTE, or
would have to retrace steps to get to the next data collection POINT
in the ROUTE.
Even if you design your database using a “most efficient ROUTE” method, during data
collection you may want to make changes to a ROUTE list or have a POINT appear in
more than one ROUTE.
When creating ROUTEs in the host software, it is reco
mmended
that the user write process data and
dynamic
data in separate
ROUTEs, to reduce frequent
ROUTE ICP
setting changes.
What is a ROUTE?
A ROUTE
is a list of measurement POINTs arranged in sequence for the most efficient
data collection.
The advantage of ROUTE data collection is that measurements can be sequenced for
the most efficient data collection regardless of their location in your measurement
database hierarchy. This method also allows a measurement POINT or POINTs to
appear in man
y different ROUTEs, and provides for a
ROUTE Statistics Report
.
Refer to your @ptitude Analyst software's
User Manual
for help
with building and transferring @ptitude Analyst ROUTEs to the GX
Series Microlog.
The CMXA 75-SL-Z2 Microlog has restrictions on the types of accessories that may
be used with the instrument in ATEX Zone 2 areas, in some cases limiting the types
of POINTs that may be collected.
Refer to Appendix D of this manual for important restrictions when using the
CMXA 75-SL-Z2 Microlog in a Zone 2 restricted area.
