Spectral Bands Tab

Up to 10 Spectral Bands can be selected for each dynamic channel. The bands named Overall, DC Gap V,
1x Amplitude and 1x Phase are pre-defined and cannot be modified. However, you can modify “User
Defined” bands 5 through 10, customizing them for your specific application.

Spectral Band values are displayed on the dynamic instrument gauges on the eZ-TOMAS main window.
All gauges are vertical, with exception of circular phase gauges. When “1x Amplitude or 1x Phase is
selected both a vertical gauge [for 1x Amplitude] and circular phase gauge [for 1x Phase] are displayed.

Spectral Bands Tab

Default Tach

Refers to the tach channels being used in the project. You must select the tach of
interest.

Channel Name

is the name you assigned to the input channel in the Channels Panel.

Band

is the Spectral Band Number of interest. Only the “User Defined” bands
[5 through 10] can be modified.

Spectral Band

is the name you assign to a spectral band. It is displayed on the dynamic instrument
gauge in the main window.

Freq Units

can be either Frequency or Orders. If you do not have a tach defined, the Orders
option will not be available.

Freq LO
Freq HI

Used to set the range of the frequency or order. It is a good practice to set the range
2 to 4 spectral lines wider than the frequency of interest. This is due to the FFT
window. For example, if your frequency of interest is the 3

rd

order. You should

specify a range of 2.9 to 3.1 orders

CALC

Specifies to calculate Peak, Overall, or Phase.

Peak is the highest spectral amplitude within the specified range.
Overall is the sum of vibrations of each spectral amplitude within the specified range.

Phase is the time relationship between the vibration probe and tach signal.

Amp LO
Amp HI

Used to set the low and high amplitudes. These high and low values define the gauge
range.
