The VSA-1212 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer is the first PDA-based vibration analyzer to use standard, off-the-shelf ICP-type piezoelectric accelerometers for machine condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and routine troubleshooting.
The system includes the VSA-1212 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer module that attaches securely to select PDAs running Palm OS; new Datastick Spectrum handheld software that collects vibration measurements and displays them in time waveforms and FFT spectra complete with alarm levels; and Datastick Reporting System(TM) (DRS) software that receives the data from the handheld into a special VSA Microsoft® Excel® workbook on the PC with two mouse-clicks.
Measurement data is collected, viewed, analyzed, and stored on the PDA and then exported to the desktop PC for viewing, further analysis, trending, reporting, storage, and publishing to the enterprise and the web. When combined with an off-the-shelf ICP-type accelerometer, a Palm Powered® PDA and Microsoft Excel software, the VSA-1212 is a complete hardware and software system for vibration analysis for predictive maintenance.
Up to 22 MB of recorded waveform and spectrum data can be stored in the recommended Garmin iQue 3200 or 3600 handheld computer, enough to store data from more than 1,000 inspection checkpoints. There are 6 selectable windowing options and 12 selectable frequency bandwidth options. The user can use the alarms levels from ISO standards, or set his own. Industry-standard BNC connectors connect with industrial-grade accelerometers, and a ruggedized case is available for the system.
The VSA-1212 supports these handhelds: Palm Tungsten(TM) T, T2, T3, C, Palm m-500 series, Garmin iQue 3200, and Garmin iQue 3600. For more information, visit the DataStick website.
