VR-6100 Vibration Level Meter

Measurement using block memory function and timer function


Measurement using block memory function and timer function for
VR-6100 Vibration Level Meter

■Measurement overview

The block memory is the memory which is exclusive for the timer measurement to store the data that is
automatically stored during the timer measurement. B mark indicates on the memory mode display of the LCD
screen. When executes the timer measurement with settings of timer ON and real time octave display OFF
respectively, the calculation values and measurement conditions of 3 axes or 1 selected axis is stored
automatically after completing each measurement. This also applies to the real time octave measurement
(optional function), but in this function, the measurement conditions are stored in the real time memory. The
followings are an explanation of the measurement procedure without using the real time function. In addition,
timer function is with saving electricity function.

■Block memory

The block memory is divided into 10 blocks. Enable to select the data to be stored from three axes or one axis.
Maximum 480 combined data for three axes and maximum 1440 combined data for one axis can be stored per
1 block. The recalled data can be displayed in various formats of calculated values by pressing the panel
switch [L Leq LE], [AXIS] or [LIST].

■Storing data to block memory

The block memory is interlocked with the timer measurement to storage data as follows.

 The data is stored from address 0001 of


Address 0001 of block 0
the block 0, immediately after initializing
the block memory.
 Even if all addresses of block 0 is stored,
the data will be stored in the next block
of address 0001, when the timer
measurement is continued. The block
cannot be selected.
 If you stop the timer measurement
before the data are stored in all
addresses of some block, the data
cannot continue to be stored in that
block. Therefore, when new timer
measurement is started, the data are
stored from the address 0001 of next
block to the previous measurement.
 When the data are stored until the last
block of all addresses, the data storing is
not executed until the memory is cleared.
Although, only timer measurement will
be continued.

<Caution>

 The data cannot be stored in the block memory with the panel switch operation.
 The timer measurement which is executed in the real time octave display cannot be stored in the
block memory.
 When the data are stored up to block 9 by the previous timer measurement, only the timer
measurement is executed and the measurement data are not stored, unless the previous block
memory data are cleared.
 When the data are not stored in the block, mark "----" is indicated on the LCD screen of memory
address.

■Saving electricity mode function

The timer measurement is interlocked with


saving electricity mode function. Saving
electricity mode function is the function that
reduces electric consumption of measurement
waiting time that is not in the actual
measurement.

SLEEP indicates during the


During the saving electricity mode, the sleep
saving electricity mode
mark is indicated on the screen. Automatically
switch to the saving electricity mode when the
waiting time to the next actual measurement is
more than 1 minute and no key operation for 10
seconds after each actual measurement.

However, if the RS232C mark is indicated, the


mode is not switch to saving electricity mode.
Also, during the saving electricity mode, when
the panel switch of the VR-6100 is pressed for 3
seconds or more, or before around 30 seconds
of the next actual measurement starts, the
condition is automatically returned to the
measurement waiting states.

■Measurement procedure

1. Selecting the store axis

Switching the data memory setting to ready status

Set the timer measurement OFF and real time octave display OFF respectively.

Displaying the menu mode screen

Press the panel switch [MENU], and switch to the menu mode. Menu mode is displayed by switching the
menu screen.

Displaying the menu of DATA MEMORY

At first, press the panel switch [<] or [>] (ADDRESS), and flash setting item on the main menu [4.DATA
MEMORY] and press the panel switch [ENTER] to switch to (4.DATA MEMORY) menu.

Selecting the store axis of block memory

Press the panel switch [<] or [>] (ADDRESS) to flash setting item [2.B AXIS], and press the panel switch
[ENTER] to flash the setting value of the store axis selection for the block memory. Press the panel switch
[<] or [>] (ADDRESS) to flash the X/Y/Z or 3 axes (XYZ) to be set, and press the panel switch [ENTER] to
return the flashing cursor to the setting item [2.B AXIS].

Confirming the setting condition

Press the panel switch [<] or [>] (ADDRESS) to flash the setting item [OK], and press the panel switch
[ENTER]. If the panel switch [ENTER] is pressed when [OK] is flashing, the setting conditions are
confirmed and return to the menu screen. Also, at this time, when the panel switch [MENU] is pressed, the
measurement screen is switched to the screen which is directly after the setting condition is confirmed. In
addition, if the condition setting is not confirmed, press the panel switch [ENTER] to flash [CANCEL].

<Caution>

 The axis selections are managed in block unit. Therefore, selected axis is available for the new block
which is being stored.
 The setting value cannot be changed during the calculation, internal calibration signalling output or
memory recall.

2. Setting the timer function
Start the timer function after the selection of store axis.

Switching the timer measurement


setting screen [5.TIMER]

Press the panel switch [MENU] to


switch to the main menu. Next, press
the panel switch [<] or [>]
(ADDRESS) to flash [5.TIMER].
When the panel switch [ENTER] is
pressed, the screen is switched to the
measurement time setting screen
[5.TIMER].

Setting the measurement starting


time [1.START]

When press the panel switch


[ENTER] while the measurement
time setting screen [1.START] is
flashing, the flashing cursor is
switched to the setting item (OFF in
here). First, press the panel switch [<]
or [>] (ADDRESS) to switch to the
measurement starting time (OFF or
hour). Next, press the panel switch
[<] or [>] (ADDRESS) to flash the
setting item of minute, and press
panel switch [<] or [>] (ADDRESS) to
