ME’scope animates the wire-frame model so that you can view the physical
deflection of the components at specific orders. For more detailed information,
refer to the ME’scope tutorial on the Medallion Rotate Installation CD ROM.

EQUIREMENTS
The input requirements are the same as for Computed Order Tracking. If
you are going to combine two or more data files for the same machine, all data
files must have a common tachometer channel and reference channel.
E
XAMPLE
The first example shows how to export a order tracks for a single order of
data to ME’scope. If you want to export multiple orders, you must export each
one separately. Alternatively, you can use the process outlined in the second
example to export multiple orders at the same time.
T
O EXPORT A SINGLE ORDER
1. Perform the steps for Computed Order
Tracking to create the order tracks.
2. Select the desired order track channels from
the Channel List window. Note that all the
selected order tracks must be the same order
(first order, for example). The order tracks are
identified by the channel name (Order 1, Order
2, …).
3. On the File menu point to Export, then choose Orders to ME’scope.
4. In the Export Orders dialog box, select or enter the desired values. Press
F1 for a description of the options.
5. Choose Export when finished. Medallion Rotate exports the selected
order tracks to a format that ME’scope can use.
T
O EXPORT MULTIPLE ORDERS OR DATA FILES
The second example describes exporting multiple orders of data from two
or more files. This is useful when you have collected data during two or more
runs on the same machine. The data from each run becomes a measurement set
in Medallion Rotate (one data file = one measurement set). You then export one
or more measurement sets to ME’scope in a single set of steps.
To begin the process of creating and exporting measurement sets, from the
Edit menu choose Measurement Sets. Then choose Create to create the first
measurement set. After completing the information in a dialog box, choose Next
to go to the next step. You can also press F1 for a description of the current
dialog box options.
Medallion Rotate includes demonstration data for export to ME’scope. You
can find a complete tutorial on the process of exporting measurement sets on
the Medallion Rotate installation CD.
