Comprehensive data base in MS-ACCESS*

Using VIBREXPERT, you can quickly set up a comprehensive data base including machine definitions, sketches, maintenance history notes, inspection notes, vibration data as well as technical information regarding related machinery components such as bearings and gears. Machines can be grouped for easy access and more flexibility during report generation. The simple hierarchy structure enables a separation into segments or sections which may correspond to machine banks, plant departments, or various plants/buildings. One of the key feature of VIBREXPERT is its ease of use and effectiveness. Several functions are available to speed up the creation of machine and point definitions, and increase the reliability and flexibility of the data base. VIBREXPERT supports WINDOWS* 95/98/ME and NT/ 2000 (network or individual workstation) and all known vibrations units. The software currently supports three languages (english, spanish and french). Many other languages are in preparation.

VIBREXPERT is designed to assist the vibration analyst to review a large amount of data very quickly. Many criteria can be specified to retrieve specific measurements and several powerful graphic representations are possible, including 3D waterfalls, matrix displays with overlay for easier comparison of several graphs simultaneously. Several types of cursors are available (level, reference, bearing defects, delta, harmonic, sideband) and interpolation between the lines of an FFT spectrum can be performed in order to improve the accuracy of frequency, amplitude and phase values at the peaks. Units and scaling (RMS, Peak, Peak-to-Peak, linear or logarithmic amplitude and frequency scales) are userselectable and can be changed at will. Overall and spectral alarm masks (envelopes) can also be specified and displayed as data overlays.
