Hey gang,
After shooting just over 150 new machines my boss tell me to get him the "baselines" on all bearings.

I'm a little torqued since he's not a vibration guy and won't actually look at them but what can you do?

So, I'm hoping there is some type of auto report in RBMWare that I'm unable to find. This would REALLY save me a lot of time.

Anybody?

Thanks in advance.

Joe,
There are several reports you can generate. From the main screen in RBMware, choose the tab Document/Report, then double click exception analysis, Data Summaries, Abbreviated Last Measurement Summary. This gives you four parameters you can generate. I would think overall is the one you are looking for but you can play with them to get the one you like. If you want to review these before printing them out, from the screen with the Data Summaries tab, click file, output destination, and select screen. Once you determine which report to use, go back to output destination and select printer.
If you are going to generate this to a pdf file, go back to the main screen where Document/Report is a tab, click Modify, Common Parameters, and uncheck Print immediately. This allows you to keep sending pages to the pdf file until you are finished. Just close out the page when you are done and it will create the pdf file.

Hope that helps,
Ronnie

Ronnie,
Thanks for the reply. Do you know of an option that will include plots? He wants all spectra on paper.

Thanks in advance.

In the plot function: just hit the copy button and paste it in a word.doc - else press Alt/Print Screen and then paste that into a document. Or you can print. The first option is best for me as I use E-mail to send stuff.

If you are looking to print every spectrum get very comfortable with copy/paste and ms word. It’s a big pain! Everyone wants to see spectral data and magnitude values corresponding to the spectrum. It doesn’t' seem to be possible with RBM. You would think that with this being such a wanted feature for reporting they could find a way to implement it into the software.

Your other option would be to get a version of Odyssey from Entek (very report friendly, plots overalls, waveforms, custom colors, labeling, you name it) and no copy/paste into word. The report you are looking for would be done in 15 minutes. Good Luck!

But, I find no one wants to see the spectra. When I include spectra; people complain. They want nuts and bolts, not trained to be an analyst or that's my take.

You can do a multiple point plot that shows the spectrum of each measurement point on one plot.

Hit the icon for Multi-point spectrum, select all the measurement points, select the first spectrum for each. When the plot displays, copy and paste it into a Word Doc. You can pretty easily fit 2 plots per page for a total of 75 pages.

That should give him enough paper to push around.

Well crap,
That's what I was afraid of - guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

Maybe I'll try to bury him in paperwork so he won't ask this again.

Thanks for the replies guys.
