Vibration data can be exported to the desktop PC via Palm HotSync technology or an SD card, or by email from the smartphone.
The Datastick SiteConnex system combines a handheld vibration analyser/collector with an internet-enabled smartphone in a single instrument, enabling immediate connectivity between inspection site and decision site for fast collaboration.
"A maintenance technician or manager can collect and view vibration data in waveform or spectra on a vibration data collector/analyser, email the data to a colleague, talk on the phone about the measurement results while looking at the results on the phone display, receive email or text messages from the colleague and more - all with a single pocket-sized handheld instrument", Michael Scandling, Vice President of Marketing, Datastick Systems said.
The VSA-2215 SiteConnex Vibration Spectrum Analyser and Collaboration system has a maximum frequency of 20,000Hz and an FFT resolution of up to 3200 lines.
It displays overall vibration alerts according to ISO standards, or user-defined alert levels.
It includes a VSA-2215 hardware module that attaches to a Palm Treo smartphone and has a standard BNC connector and low-noise input that accommodates and powers almost any ICP-type piezoelectric accelerometer.
The system also includes Datastick SpectrumTSC handheld software with Datastick ManagerSC handheld file management software, Datastick ReviewSC handheld data comparison software and integrated email software.
Datastick does not sell the Palm Treo or wireless plans.
Datastick SpectrumSC software collects, displays and stores waveforms and vibration FFT spectra and provides overall vibration alerts.
It displays peaks, overall vibration, coloured alerts and pop-up mode menus all on one high-resolution screen.
Datastick Direct Zoom display lets the user select an area of interest on the screen with the handheld's stylus or a finger and zoom up to 64 times.
Measurement data is saved in the smartphone's internal memory or on SD memory cards with capacities of up to 2Gbyte.
Vibration data can be exported to the desktop PC via Palm HotSync technology or an SD card, or by email from the smartphone.
The Datastick Reporting System software for VSA (DRS), with Datastick Viewer software, enables the recipient of the measurement data files that have been emailed to import them quickly into the Excel-based DRS program on the desktop, see the same data that the person sees on the smartphone VSA, write reports and publish to the web.
