An eZ-TOMAS Project is a collection of data files, typically associated with a monitored machine. The data files
include configuration and measured data. When eZ-TOMAS is activated it attempts to open the last eZ-TOMAS
Project accessed.
Note: If you are monitoring a machine for the first time, you should create a new eZ-TOMAS Project to store the
machine’s configuration and vibration data.
If you have already created an eZ-TOMAS Project for the machine, use the File pull-down menu and select
Open to pick up where you left off.
The configuration and data files have a FIFO design. When you turn on the acquisition switch, data will be appended to
the data files.
Using the File Pull-down Menu [In Gauge Window]
Open Project
Though this function is listed third on the menu list, we will mention it first here as it is frequently used and requires
very little explanation. The Open Project option provides a means of locating and opening an existing eZ-TOMAS
project.
Note: When eZ-TOMAS is started, it opens the last active project.
New (Clone) Project – Creates a Copy of a Project and its Data
Cloning a project keeps all of the values from the original project.
The New (Clone) Project option opens the Save As window. The first step in creating a new project is to select or
create a Folder where the new project’s files should be saved. Enter a filename for the project, then click the <Save>
button.
Note: The File Menu discussed in this chapter is located
in the Gauge Window’s menu bar. It is not to be
confused with the Plot Window’s File Menu.
