Build a routine measurement workflow for a pump
Create an equipment record for the pump and points for the actual measurement locations, with direction matching installation. Open acquisition, connect the card and select the point. Check sensor type, sensitivity, sample rate and count, then begin with a single capture.
After saving, inspect the waveform, spectrum and time-domain statistics. Repeat at the same point under comparable operating conditions and use trends and waterfall plots to compare history. Select explicit records when generating a report.
Check names before saving, record IDs before analysis, operating conditions before comparisons and report scope before delivery. This prevents differences in points or measurement conditions from being mistaken for machine changes.
Investigate an increase in amplitude
First check whether sensor mounting, sensitivity, units, operating conditions or speed changed. Repeat the measurement at the same point and inspect waveform impacts and dominant spectral peaks.
If bearing-related components need investigation, use the exact bearing model and valid speed to run diagnosis. Inspect the matching table and decision criteria, save the human conclusion and recommendations, then generate a report.
A rising trend calls for further investigation; it does not identify a particular bearing defect by itself. An envelope match also does not replace checking operating conditions.
Complete a multipoint inspection
Create the equipment and real points, create the route, assign each point's template, set the order and save. Start or continue an execution, then enter acquisition from each execution point.
For every measured point, verify that the actual saved record is linked back, set Normal/Abnormal status and add notes. Explicitly skip points that cannot be measured and give a reason. When all points are processed, complete the execution and select that exact execution in the Report Center.
Ordinary point acquisition does not automatically replace an inspection association. A display of 100% processed does not mean all points were measured or passed.
Complete a balancing project
Confirm licensing and field measurement conditions, select the equipment and point, and choose single-plane or two-plane balancing. Obtain a new record under the actual condition for each stage, check speed and 1X amplitude, and enter phase using one consistent reference.
Complete initial, trial-weight and post-correction residual measurements, review the result and finish the project. Use the project ID for reporting.
Phase is not obtained automatically. Missing measured speed, reuse of a record across stages or a different point prevents the required conditions from being met. The reference verification is not a formal ISO pass.
Provide data for another person's review
Generate Word/PDF reports when the recipient needs to read the findings. Export raw waveforms or spectra with metadata for numerical reanalysis. Export equipment configuration when the recipient needs equivalent equipment records. Use system backup to preserve the complete local business data.
Check the equipment, point, capture time and channel in the output. A chart screenshot without measurement context is insufficient for a dependable handoff.
Troubleshooting checklist
| Symptom | First check | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition, diagnosis or balancing cannot be opened | Service status and the relevant feature license | Check Settings, resolve the error and retry |
| No device in the serial-port list | Power, cable, driver and operating-system port recognition | Refresh ports and identify the actual card |
| A port is listed but cannot connect | Wrong port or another application using it | Read the connection error and resolve contention |
| Start is unavailable | Connection, point, parameter dialog and task state | Satisfy the prerequisites and wait for cleanup |
| Synchronous acquisition keeps waiting | Speed signal and hardware synchronization conditions | Read timeout information and check the hardware conditions |
| Stop remains in Stopping state | Device acknowledgment and remaining-data cleanup | Wait for the final state; reconnect if required |
| No new record after stopping | Whether the first segment had fully arrived | Acquire again under the complete-segment rules |
| A waveform exists but speed is 0 RPM | Whether valid speed input exists | Assess ordinary and speed-dependent analyses separately |
| Trend or waterfall is empty | Valid history for the current point | Check filters and record completeness |
| Chart data differs from the latest capture | Whether an old or sample record is selected | Check record ID, time and point |
| Balancing rejects a record | Speed, point, sensor, velocity spectrum and channels | Resolve the stated condition; do not reuse stage records |
| Bearing diagnosis cannot run | Record, model, speed and license | Complete the inputs, run and review decision criteria |
| Inspection progress does not change after capture | Saved record and failed progress submission | Verify execution context and retry submission |
| Report generation is unavailable | Record count, project/execution selection and review state | Set the scope and save valid results first |
| Configuration import has conflicts | Codes, names and matching existing objects | Inspect preflight details, choose a policy, then submit |
| Restoration seems to have made no change | Whether restoration is only staged and restart occurred | Restart as prompted and inspect failure information |
| Knowledge base says the local model is not ready | Required model files in the backend's configured model location | Have the model files prepared and checked, then refresh the knowledge base |
| Documents are counted but knowledge questions fail | Semantic-index readiness | Wait for indexing; inspect the specific error if it fails |
| The AI stopped answering but acquisition continues | Chat output and tasks run independently | Use acquisition Stop or the applicable task cancellation |
Keep useful information when reporting a problem
Record the page name, operation time, equipment/point/record IDs, current mode, sampling parameters, exact error text and expected result.
For connection issues, include the actual port. For inspection issues, include route and execution IDs. For balancing issues, include project and stage. Do not expose cloud keys or license codes in chats or screenshots.
This guide does not treat reinstalling the software, deleting the database or overwriting configuration as general troubleshooting steps. Address the specific failing object and preserve existing records first.
