发明名称 Equipment setup for ultrasonic monitoring
摘要 An apparatus and method determines ultrasonic measurement parameters of ultrasonic measurements to be performed on a mechanical system, where the ultrasonic measurements are performed using a portable ultrasonic measurement device. The ultrasonic measurement parameters consist of information used in configuring the portable ultrasonic measurement device to make the ultrasonic measurements. The measurement parameters are used to configure an ultrasonic measurement device that uses an ultrasonic sensor to measure ultrasonic characteristics of the mechanical system, where the ultrasonic characteristics are indicative of an operating condition of the mechanical system. The apparatus includes a processor for generating user instruction messages that query a user concerning specific characteristics of the mechanical system on which the ultrasonic measurements are to be performed. The user instruction messages also provide response options from which the user chooses in responding to the instruction messages. The apparatus includes a user communication device that receives the user instruction messages generated by the processor, and communicates the user instruction messages to the user. A user input device enables the user to choose from among the response options, and generates user input signals based upon response options chosen by the user. The processor receives the user input signals and generates the ultrasonic measurement parameters based on the user input signals. A memory receives and stores the ultrasonic measurement parameters. An interface receives the ultrasonic measurement parameters from the processor. The interface is capable of transferring the ultrasonic measurement parameters from the processor to the portable ultrasonic measurement device.
