2120F3 Advanced Cross Channel

!

Program format is easy for inexperienced users to understand & use Custom configuration parameters are designed for advanced users Cross-channel analysis identifies, verifies, and quantifies critical resonant frequencies Autoranging feature adjusts gain & discards over-ranges Program offers variety of applications, including testing new or rebuilt machinery acceptance 1,600 lines of resolution & advanced windowing options allow user more detailed analysis

Introduction
Advanced Cross-Channel analysis is a downloadable program (DLP) for the 2120 dual channel analyzer. It is used for acquiring frequency transfer functions from A/B or B/A. The program includes: a) general cross channel and b) impact testing. Menus are preconfigured for optimum results with little or no set-up by the user. The peak in the cross-channel spectrum (lower plot) indicates a structural resonance. A coherence value close to 1.00 (upper plot) confirms validity of the measurement.

Cross-channel analysis isnt just for high level vibration experts anymore. CSI has made this useful vibration measuring technique accessible and easy to understand by preconfiguring signal acquisition parameters, so only minimal training is needed. Cross-channel analysis allows you to identify and measure critical resonant frequencies. T h i s enables you to foresee frequency conflicts that would cause structural damage and machine failure. Other typical applications include:

Advanced users can define and store up to eight configuration parameters for data acquisition, including general acquisition parameters, triggering, window measurement, sensor selection, and plotting. Technical Specifications: The Advanced Cross-Channel Analysis program will operate in either 16-bit (MasterTrend) or 32bit (AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager) mode on the 2120. Optional Components: Vi b P r o Advanced A n a l y s i s Software Data collected with the Advanced Cross-Channel analysis or Advanced Transient analysis downloadable programs for the 2120 can be uploaded to the CSI VibPro Advanced Analysis software for post-processing, indepth analysis, and long-term storage.

When used in conjunction with the Advanced Cross-Channel analysis program, VibPro provides powerful cross-channel analysis capabilities including: waveform and spectrum for both the impact and force

full spectrum cross-channel phase full spectrum coherence transfer functions with separate display of both real and imaginary components

Easy-to-use features include autoranging that quickly adjusts gain to correct level during impact testing and discards overranges automatically so that the user can proceed with the job without starting over; and coherence provides inexperienced users with a simple, effective way to determine the validity of the reading before recommending design changes.

Multiple plots can be displayed simultaneously with a synchronized cursor to facilitate identification of resonant frequencies. When used with the transient program (part # A2120F4), this new 32-bit software enables the analyst to display a dual channel transient waveform with synchronized cursors. Any portion of the waveform may be expanded, and FFT analysis can be performed using a variety of selectable parameters, such as resolution, window type, and average mode. VibPro also includes a standard data export format to transfer measurements to CSIs Windows-based ODS and Modal Analysis software for advanced structural analysis.
