Enhanced data collector functionality for VIBROTEST 80 & VIBROPORT 80 portables

VIBROTEST 80 and VIBROPORT 80 machine condition monitoring portables are
Brüel & Kjær Vibro’s Allrounders for machine diagnosis, field balancing and data collection. The data collector functionality of these instruments and the new version of the “Report & Route Manager” host monitoring software has been enhanced and will be released soon. Data collection has become more versatile, reliable and powerful, yet much easier to perform.

In “Report & Route Manager” a new software module - “Off-Route & Reports” - has been introduced that enables users to collect data outside of a previously set up route. With the new module it is possible to store this additional measurement data in the database and analyse them. Another advantage of the Module “Off-Route & Reports” is the possibility to also store measurement data generated by other VT-80/VP-80 application modules, e.g. characteristic values, FFT spectra or time signals in the database. This is especially practical for service centers or machine manufacturers who need to analyse similar machine types frequently. 
More features in the new software version of  ”Report & Route Manager”:

•	Improved data search filtering function
•	Optimized cursor read out area
•	Multi edit function for measurement point setup
•	Export function for measurement data using the csv and xls format
•	Enhanced plot annotation
•	Ability to edit spectrum alarm and reference limits 
•	Backup and restore function for the monitoring database

These time and cost saving features further enhance the powerful “Report & Route Manager” host monitoring software, which enables the generation, storage, analysis and reporting of an unlimited number of routes with up to 5.000 measurement points each.
