Datastick Reporting System (DRS) is the software you use to view your vibration data on your PC. It is built on a foundation of Microsoft Excel®. It's not locked into any closed proprietary software system. DRS files, complete with waveform, FFT, and waterfall graphics can be sent to anyone who has Microsoft Excel—and that means just about anyone. Files, tables, graphs, and reports can also be saved as HTML and posted on the web, or they can be sent to anyone and viewed in any web browser — the person receiving the files doesn't even have to have Excel.

Datastick Reporting System Excel files are a fast, easy gateway to all of Microsoft Office for archiving, reporting, export to enterprise databases, presentation, and publication — around the office or on the web. And because it exports data in CSV form, you can use it as a bridge to your existing analysis and trending software.

PC system requirements:Microsoft® Windows XP or Windows Vista, and Microsoft Office® 2003 or 2007 or Microsoft Excel® 2003 or 2007

Datastick Reporting System (DRS) Home screen provides a convenient location for importing data from the VSA-series handheld or from an SD memory card from the handheld.		You can import all of the data from the handheld or its flash memory card, or select data from any specific inspection point, or filter data according to your needs.
With a single mouse-click you can create graphs from any imported data.		Here is an FFT spectrum of velocity data, including windowing information.
You can post-process a frequency spectrum FFT from collected waveform data and change transforms of existing FFT graphs from, for example, acceleration to velocity.		DRS can automatically find and label harmonics and up to 15 of the highest peaks. This FFT spectrum graph shows four harmonics labeled. You can also add your own labels.
Create waterfalls with a mouse-click, then use tools to zoom, pan, and rotate.		Or you can stack up to four spectrum or waveform graphs.
Create and print exception reports . . .		And trend reports.

• Display modes: 
  • Frequency domain in Hz or CPM
  • Time domain acceleration in milliseconds or seconds, displaying peak and RMS values
  • Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement Spectra
  • Vibration dB Spectra
  • Peak, Peak-Peak, or RMS measurements
  • Overall vibration with alert levels shown in color
  • English or metric units
• Frequency range: 50 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 500 / 800 / 1k / 2k / 4k / 5k / 10k Hz (or equivalent CPM) selectable. (20 kHz maximum on VSA-1215)
• FFT resolution: 400 / 800 / 1600 lines, selectable. (3200 lines on VSA-1215)
• FFT windowing: User selectable: Rectangular (Uniform), Hanning, Hamming, Flattop, Blackman, Bartlett.
• Peak Hold: Peak hold of 2, 4, or 8 captures.
• Averaging: Linear averaging of 2, 4, or 8 averages.
• Low-frequency display cutoff: User 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.
  • Peak Difference tool: select any two peaks and numerically display the difference in value between the two.
  • Display options: Individually selectable: Display drawn in histogram or continuous trace, Adjustable display color, Optional X and Y numerical labels.
• Add Note feature: Add text notes of on-site observations, test conditions, etc., to a signal capture for output to PC.
• Level Alerts / Judgment Criteria: Flexible dialog box allows you to select ISO-10816-3 alert levels or define alert levels according to your own criteria for machine condition levels.
• Route-inspection capability: Reloadable configuration feature allows every inspection point to be named as an individual configuration. Datastick Reporting System PC software sorts by configuration by default to allow histories to be built for trending.
• Supported handhelds: Palm Tungsten T, T2, T3, C, TX, Garmin iQue 3200, Garmin iQue 3600 and HP iPAQ hx2400-series and iPAQ hx2700-series handheld computers.

To use the DirectZoom™ feature, simply use the touchscreen to highlight the area of interest and lift the handheld computer'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.

Datastick Review
Datastick Review 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.	Here, Datastick Review software is showing the previous month's FFT of the same pump. Datastick Review has the same cursor tools as Datastick Spectrum. And, Datastick Review 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.
