HANDHELD DATA COLLECTOR AND ANALYZER SYSTEM

摘要

A handheld measurement device incorporating both a data collector and an analyzer is disclosed. The data collector of the device receives one or more external input signals and stores the data collected for later retrieval and analysis. In one embodiment these input signals are received from sensors used to collect measurements in machine systems for predictive maintenance purposes. The analyzer using software routines in accordance with a method of the present invention retrieves and processes the collected data using filtering techniques and performs calculations that determine the absence or presence of a machine system defect. Additionally, the handheld measurement device includes a display for providing a user with one or more different visual presentations of the calculated results with respect to the collected measured data or alternatively provides the user the option of transferring the calculated results either directly or wirelessly to the display used with any other computer system.
