 Run Up/Coast Down Extension Module

The RUCD - WAV Setup screen lets you to setup the .wav file parameters.   

4.

Select the parameter and press the Right arrow to open a list of values. 

5.

Select or type in a parameter value.

6.

Press the Left arrow to save your selection. 

Use the descriptions in 

WAV Setup Parameter Descriptions on page 44

 to 

help you configure the parameters.

7.

When you are finished, press F3 (Start). 

The Display Select screen appears letting you select the appropriate plot to 
view the recorded time waveform.

TIP

The instrument reads the .wav file to determine the 
maximum speed present. If the number of pulses per 
revolution is not equal to 1, enter the correct value 
before processing. 

Table 11 - WAV Setup Parameter Descriptions

Parameter Name

Description

Values/Comments

Max M/c Speed

The maximum machine speed in the .wav file.This parameter is set to the 
highest detected m/c speed.

Mode

The method used in the .wav file to initiate data collection. When in doubt, 
select manual:

Runup - The data collection starts when the machine speed rises above 

Start Spd.

Coast down -The data collection starts when the machine speed falls 

below Stop Spd.

Manual - Manually start data collection by pressing F4 (Start). No 

tachometer signal is required for this mode. 

Runup

Coast down

Manual

Pulses/Rev

The number of tachometer signal pulses per revolution of the reference shaft.

This value may affect the Max M/c Speed 
value.

Start Spd (RPM) 

The speed used in the .wav file to start collecting data.

These parameters are not available if 
Mode is set to Manual.

Stop Spd (RPM)

The speed used in the .wav file to stop collecting data.
