Shows the waveform measured along with the spectrum, as defined in the configuration of 
the corresponding 

Processing Mode

 

 

Selects the 

Processing mode

 the 

Widget

 will show the spectrum from. 

 

 

Shows  the  list  of 

Fault  Frequencies

 defined  for  the  corresponding  dynamic  point.  Selecting 

one of them will show on the spectrum plot the 

Fault Frequency

 as a dotted red line, along 

with the harmonics defined on its configuration. 

 

 

Exports the spectrum values to CSV format and creates and downloads it into a local file. 

 

 

Shows/hides spectrum information box. This box shows the following information associated 
with the measurement: machine, dynamic point, processing mode, machine speed and load, 
sensor bias voltage, machine state and alarm condition, maximum and minimum frequency 
of the spectrum. 

13.7.3.

 

Zoom 

Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out horizontally on the spectrum plot. The 

Widget

 will zoom the 

spectrum around the frequency aligned vertically with the mouse location. After zooming-in use drag 
and drop with your mouse to move the plot left and right. 

To make a zoom on vertical direction, locate the mouse over the Y axis and use the mouse wheel. The 
spectrum plot will vertically zoom in and out. 

Click on the 

Reset zoom

 button to restore the plot to its normal scaling, removing the effect of any 

previous zoom done on the plot. 

 

 

13.7.4.

 

Fault Frequencies 

This option shows on the spectrum plot the fault frequencies assigned to the measurement point. Fault 
frequencies are those related to different failure modes on the machine (gear mesh, ball bearing, RPM 
harmonics, belts, etc.). These frequencies are defined on the configuration of the system and can be 
assigned to the different dynamic points. 

By clicking on the icon: 

 

 

the Widget will show the list of
