Adding Measurements from the Level Meter

Click on the button "Measurement read from...." A dialogue will appear in which the measurement files from level meter with their corresponding level information are listed, in which you can select the measurements you want to read in.

 

Please note:

 

 

If there are vibration measurements, you may specify, which of the input channels belongs to the X-, Y-, or  Z-axis.

 

 

Select the desired measurements by clicking on the corresponding row in the table.

 

By holding the keys "Ctrl" or "Shift" several measurements can be selected at once, (see thereto Multiple selection of Files.)

 

Click "Select", in order to add the data to the project. The data will then be inserted.

 

If all files present in the device are to be displayed, (e.g. Setup files, VLM files, log files etc..,) then click the button "Display all Files." Then a dialogue will appear in which all files are listed.

 

If you want to re-read in the files from the level meter then click the button "Re-read data from device."

 

If you click in the grey field on the left beside the file name in the table the measurement-info dialogue will appear. All results of the measurement are listed in the dialogue (see chapter "View Measurement Information"), further actions which would otherwise be found  in the menu, can be accomplished with a right mouse-click on a row).

 

In principle data can only be read in from one level meter at a time.

Adding Measurements from Files on a Hard Drive

Measurements from other projects stored on a hard drive can also be added to a project.

 

For this purpose click the button  "Read measurement from file." A file selection dialogue will appear. Measurements from previously saved projects (* .nem) as well measurements from Svantek files (* svn) can be read in.

 

By holding the keys "Ctrl" or "Shift" several measurements can be selected at once, (see thereto Multiple selection of Files.)

Deleting Measurements from a Project

Measurements from a project can be deleted by marking the relevant measurements (click the row in the table and if necessary hold the keys "Ctrl" or "Shift", see thereto Multiple selection of Files )  and finally press the "Del" key.

 

A right-click on a row in the table opens a context menu which likewise makes measurement deletion possible.

 

The measurements can be also deleted by marking them in the table and then clicking on the menu option "Process - Delete selected  Measurements."

 

All measurements in a project can be deleted by clicking on the menu option "Process - Delete all Measurements."

View Measurement Information

If you click the window "Read measurement from file" or if you click in the main window in the grey field on the left beside the file name in the table the measurement-info dialogue will appear displaying all results of the measurement.

 

This dialogue contains different information, depending on the type of measurement (sound or vibration).
 

 

Comments regarding the measurement can be processed here. Comments stated in the measurement device respectively the comments that were entered in this dialogue will be displayed.

 

Edit / Evaluate Project Info

Projects include a large amount of information which can either be entered or processed by clicking the button "Process" or the menu option "Process - Edit Project Info."

 

The following window will be displayed

 

 

 

The Button "Export to Excel" is not visible when the dialogue "Process - Edit Project Info" is selected.

 

Excel Templates will be displayed in Properties for the respective evaluation of predefined Excel Templates. If you wish to use a different template this can be done with the help of the button "..." Select a different Excel Template (* xlt).

 

In the Combobox "Utilised Device Configuration" the standard configuration has been preselected under Settings. Under device configuration the devices used for the measurement are described. The device configuration should be noted in the measurement report.
The device configuration is saved together with the project. If a project is opened that has a configuration that no longer corresponds to the selected standard configuration. The Combobox will display the configuration "from project:..."

 

See the chapter "Settings" for the definition of device configuration.

 
Additional project information as defined in the Excel Template can be entered in the table. The definition of this information can be found in the chapter "Creating your own Excel Template." If a new Excel Template is selected, other additional project information might be displayed

Graphics that were inserted during the evaluation can be added to a project. For this purpose click the button "Insert Graphic" and select the relevant graphic. The selected graphic will be displayed in the corresponding frame. The graphic can later be deleted from the project by clicking on the button "Delete Graphic." If no graphic is designated for the selected Excel Template than this will be displayed in the upper part of the graphic.

 

Additionally longer comments can be entered in the project.

 

By clicking on the button "Add Data to Project" all data in the project directory Verzeichnis, in dem alle Dateien, die zu einem Projekt gehören, abgespeichert werden will be saved.

 

By clicking on the button "Export to Excel" the project will be saved and evaluated. It may take a few moments to save the dialogue. As soon as the evaluation is saved it will be displayed as an Excel spreadsheet.
 

For the output and the calculation formula: it has been entered in the project dialogue that the uncertainty allowance should be added. The uncertainty allowance will be added according to the accuracy level of the level meter for all level measurements.
