Notes on 6Pack Recordings
6Pack recordings allow up to six measurements to be taken simultaneously from a single data stream/channel. All standard condition monitoring data can be acquired in one step and in the time normally required to take a single conventional recording. This function is currently limited to the vbSeries range of instruments (vb5, vb6, vb7 and vb8).
A 6Pack recording may include some or all of the following measurement types for each recorded channel:
- High Frequency Spectrum
- High Frequency Waveform
- Low Frequency Spectrum
- Low Frequency Waveform
- Demodulation Spectrum
- Demodulation Waveform
When configuring a 6Pack recording, select the 6Pack checkbox in the Domain area, then select the measurement types required using the checkboxes immediately below within the Domain area. Configure the measurement parameters using the Parameters tab as normal, bearing in mind the following limitations imposed on this recording type:
- The same sensor(s) must be used for all 6Pack measurement types.
- High Frequency and Demodulation measurements can be measured in Acceleration only.
- All spectra and waveforms must have the same resolution (maximum 800 lines, 2048 samples).
- High Frequency Fmax and Demod Bandwidth must be the same.
- Averaging type, number and overlap must be the same for all spectra.
- Fmin and Demodulation Fmin must be the same.
