When all applicable notes have been selected, press the
OK
function button.
Press the
Cancel
function button to abort the process without
saving any coded notes.
Notes can only be attached to the first POINT in an MPA group of
POINTs.
Reference the
Multi Point Automation
section later in
this chapter for details on MPA POINTs.
Speed Tagging
Speed tagging allows for very accurate speed values for dynamic GX Series Microlog
measurements, even in variable speed machinery.
Using @ptitude Analyst software, you can quickly select multiple POINTs (Microlog
dynamic POINTs) from the hierarchy list (these POINTs are referred to as speed tagged
POINTs) to associate with (link to) a specific Microlog dynamic or manual input speed
reference POINT.
The speed reference
POINT can be a tachometer POINT, dynamic data POINT, or
manually input speed value. Data collected for the speed tagged POINTs reflect the
rotating speed of their associated speed reference POINT.
Refer to Appendix D of this manual for important restrictions when using the
CMXA 75-SL-Z2 Microlog in a Zone 2 restricted area.
IMPORTANT: The speed reference POINT (Speed POINT Id) must be collected (by
the Microlog) prior to collecting its speed tagged dynamic data POINTs. Set up
your @ptitude Analyst ROUTE or database hierarchy to facilitate data collection of
speed POINTs prior to data collection of POINTs associated with speed POINTs.
The speed reference POINT cannot be included in an MPA group
of POINTs, however, dynamic data POINTs linked to the speed
reference POINT may be (see th
e
Multi POINT Automation
section later in this chapter).
Speed Ratio
The Microlog determines the actual running speed for a linked measurement by
multiplying its associated speed reference POINT's speed value by the speed tagged
measurement's Speed Ratio (specified in @ptitude Analyst).
IMPORTANT: The dynamic measurement's Speed Ratio setting must be greater
than zero (0). A zero setting disables speed tagging. In this case, the
measurement's speed value is established using the measurement's Speed field
setting (manually input in the POINT Setup dialog).
