Configure components

In the configuration panel of each component you will see the following tabs:

• General Information & Measurement Source.

• Bearings & Characteristic Frequencies (available in all components, except for the "Gearbox" type).

• Kinematic configuration (only available for components of type "Gearbox").

General Information & Measurement Source

There are two blocks in this tab:

1. General information

2. Measurement source

GENERAL INFORMATION

In this block you can include the following details of your component:

• Name. This field is automatically filled in with the name of the component type, but you can change it if you need to. There cannot be more than one component with the same name, so if you add more components of the same type, we will use the type followed by the corresponding number to generate the names.

• Manufacturer. You can select from the manufacturers in the list or add a new one if you need it.

• Model. This field will only be enabled if you select the manufacturer. Once activated, you can select from the models in the list or add a new one.

MEASUREMENT SOURCE

If you need to configure this block you must have previously added at least one sensor in the "Processing tree" block of the template information. In case you do not have it configured you will see the following message:

Once you have the processing tree set up, you can view and select the measurement sources if you need to:
