Measurement Computing eZ-TOMAS rev.11.0 - Manual (Page 19)

Configuring the Project
A default configuration is automatically loaded when you open an eZ-TOMAS file. However, you may
want to make some changes to the configuration. To make changes:
1. From the eZ-TOMAS Main Window, open the Edit pull-down menu.
2. In the Edit menu select Setup. The Setup Configuration window will appear.
Reference Note:
The four tabs of the Setup Configuration window are labeled: Acquisition, Input Channels,
Spectral Bands, and Storage. They are discussed briefly in this section and in detail at the
beginning of Chapter 4, Edit Menu.
3. Make sure that the Hardware panel reflects the correct device, e.g., ZonicBook/618E.
Setup Configuration Window, Acquisition Tab
Clicking the button will undo all the changes you’ve made since you
opened the Setup Configuration Window.
4. Make the desired changes for each of the tabs and then click the <Save> button.
You can start monitoring immediately.
Acquisition Tab – From the Acquisition tab you can set up parameters that include, but are not limited
to: Block Size, Analysis Frequency, Low Cutoff Frequency, FFT Window, and Number of Averages.
Input Channels Tab – From the Input Channels Tab you can change channel parameters. This
includes, but is not limited to assigning channel types, customizing channel names, setting the instrument
range per channel, and assigning units.
Spectral Bands Tab – From the Spectral Bands Tab you can modify “User Defined” bands 5 through
10 according to your application. Note that Overall, DC Gap V, 1x Amp, and 1x Phase bands are
predefined and cannot be modified.
Storage Tab - From the Storage Tab you can specify how you want trigger data storage. If any one
event is triggered, data from all channels is stored. Data storage events are triggered when a change occurs
in the monitored machine’s condition. The basic idea is to activate storage based on Time Change and/or
Speed Change and/or Amplitude Change.
Refer to chapter 4 for more information regarding the Setup Configuration tabs.
