TC-6110 / Windows 7 Installing Moxa Software

4-7

4. When the installation is finished, click Close to complete the installation. Please remember that the PdM

diagnostics package will not be available until the computer is rebooted. You may restart the computer at

this point, if you wish.

Configuring and Using the G-Sensor Tool

Launching the Charting Application

Follow these steps to launch and check the sensor tool.

1. To launch the G sensor charting utility, right-click on the tricolor icon in the

system tray and select GSensorChart from the pop-up menu. Please note

that if you select Exit you will shut down the Moxa PdM utilities package. If

this happens and you want to re-launch the utility, navigate to the

Windows Start Menu and select Moxa Predictive Maintenance

Diagnostic Tool from the software listed there.

ATTENTION

Users are advised that the accelerometer script returns vibration readings in milligravities (mG).

The

-sensor’s raw values, however, are returned in an unconve

rted hexadecimal form. If you would like to directly

access the G

-sensor data in a human-readable form, then you should access G-

sensor data from the GUI, using

the log file.

2. Next, verify that each initial value (X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis) is close to 0 (+-100). The X-axis represents

front-to-back motion (relative t to the sensor), the Y-axis is left-to-right, and the Z-axis is up-and-down. A

good target threshold to start off with is 1000 mG.
