Description
Datastick SpectrumSC software is part of the Datastick SiteConnex
VSA-2215 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer system. Datastick Spectrum runs on
the Palm Treo smartphone and makes it easy to collect and analyze
vibration waveforms and spectra for condition monitoring, predictive
maintenance and routine troubleshooting. Reloadable configurations let
you change input and display parameters instantly and perform repeatable
route inspections easily.
And when you need to share information without delay, you can email
your vibration data directly from Datastick SpectrumSC.

- The display auto-scales to the
highest peak. Manual scaling is also available.
- Green, yellow, orange, and red vibration severity alarms
can be set according to ISO 10816-3 guidelines or to any
desired custom level.
- View the full spectrum or zoom in up to 64x for a close
look.
- Fast access to on-screen tools for zooming and four
cursor-position readout options.
- Quickly move among Acceleration, Velocity, and
Displacement modes and Time and Frequency domains.
- Fast access to key setup and file management parameters.
- Automatic peak finder can show up to 15 of the highest
peaks.
- File status is clearly visible. (You can choose between
discretionary saves or automatic saves.)
- Time and Frequency domains and Acceleration, Velocity,
and Displacement modes are all immediately available in one
menu. You can change domains and modes at any time.
- Current inspection point is shown on screen.
- Datastick SpectrumSC enables you to email vibration
measurements directly from the smartphone.

The versatile Add Note feature allows you to attach quick memos of
on-site observations to your recorded data for export to a PC.
Datastick SpectrumSC is included with the VSA-2215 Vibration Spectrum
Analyzer system and also includes and smoothly integrates with Datastick
ReviewSC software for comparing past measurements, Datastick ManagerSC
software for file management on the smartphone (both of which also allow
you to email vibration data from the smartphone), and Datastick
Reporting System for VSA software for analyzing, trending, and reporting
waveform and spectral data on a Windows® desktop PC or laptop computer.

selectable: No cutoff, 1, 2, 5, or 10 Hz (0, 60, 120, 300,
600 CPM).
- Auto range: Yes, including optional
auto-range on zoom; or manual range settings. It is also
possible to auto-range any individual view on the display.
- Cursor-position display tools:
- Zoom tool: zoom in up to 64x and
zoom out to full spectrum. Zoomed-in views can be panned
left and right.
- Inspector tool: select any data
point and display its numerical value
- Peak Inspector tool: cursor snaps
to nearest peak.
- Orders tool: select any two data
points and numerically display the multiple of the
second point in relation to the first.
- Peak Orders tool: select any two
peaks and numerically display the multiple of the second
peak in relation to the first.
- Difference tool: select any two
data points and numerically display the difference in
value between the two.

| To use the
DirectZoom™ feature, simply use the touchscreen to highlight the
area of interest and lift the smartphone's stylus. (Automatic
peak detection has labeled four peaks in this view.) |
Zoomed-in view
of the area highlighted at left. The Inpector cursor tool (the
black vertical line) shows the value of any data point touched
by the stylus. Overall vibration and colored alert is shown
above the FFT graph. |
 |
 |
| In the time
domain, overall vibration is always shown with peak values on
the left side of the graph, top and bottom; and with the RMS
value obove the graph. |
FFT overall
vibration display can be turned off, or you can select from two
ISO options and two non-ISO options, including user-definable
custom alert levels. |
 |
 |
| Datastick
Spectrum doesn't force you to remember ISO machine classes.
Simply select the machine-type you want when using ISO
overall-vibration alert levels. |
You can set
user-definable custom alert levels for any inspection point.
Simply enter the desired value for velocity and/or displacement
for any alert level. |
 |
 |
| Numbers don’t
always tell the whole story. Analysis is easier and more
accurate when you have all the facts, and Datastick makes it
easy with the versatile Add Note dialog box. Simply make a note
and it is attached to your data for export to your PC. |
Repeatable route
inspections are vital for accurate trending. Datastick’s
reloadable configuration feature helps you to take the same
measurement the same way each time. Datastick Reporting System
software on the PC sorts by config to build histories. |
 |
 |
| The
Configuration menu logically groups functions for fast,
intuitive use. Spend less time on training and more time getting
the job done. |
The Setup dialog
puts all commonly used parameters in one place. Setup takes
seconds and every setup can be saved and reused at a later time. |

ReviewSC lets you compare previous reads with the current read
in Datastick Spectrum. Datastick Spectrum software has all the
controls for setting up configurations and collecting, saving,
and displaying data. Here, the Zoom tool has been used to zoom
in on the current FFT of a pump bearing in Datastick Spectrum.
And you can email directly from Datastick Review SC |
Here, Datastick
ReviewSC software is showing the previous month's FFT of the
same pump. Datastick Review has the same cursor tools as
Datastick Spectrum. And, Datastick ReviewSC shows the same zoom,
pan, and scale as is displayed in Datastick Spectrum: When you
zoom or pan in Spectrum, the same zoomed-in frequency span
appears in Review. |
