Creating a Project
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 runs it attempts to open the last
eZ-TOMAS Project accessed.
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 Open menu to pick up where you left off.
The vibration data files have a FIFO design. When you turn on the acquisition switch, data will be
appended to the data files.
