The document is a user manual for a data collector that has the following functions:
1. It allows users to select plants, sub-plants, and routes to measure equipment, points, and measurements.
2. It offers two measurement options - fast measurement that automatically records without graphics or confirmation, and detailed measurement that shows graphics and waits for confirmation at each step.
3. The utilities section describes how to restore routes to an unmeasured state in order to re-measure routes without losing previous data.

Fast measurement:
All measurements configured by the measuring point
without interacting with the operator, such as SPECTRUM OF ACCELERATION, VELOCITY, and ENVELOPE, are recorded in the memory without displaying any graphics if the values of these measurements are normal. If so, you will see a window in a flash with the measurement condition.
If any of the measurements is in the CAUTION or
EMERGENCY state, is shown in figure confirms the measurement can burn up the keyboard key or using F1.

Detailed Measurement:
Each measurement is taken step by step, always
showing on screen a graphic value for each measurement, always waiting for confirmation before each message, new item, or equipment. Press the ENTER key to start the measurement, and confirm and advance to the next by pressing UP or F1 interchangeably. This option is ideal for operator analyst capacity, as it will allow you to have an idea of the condition of the equipment.
In any measurement, the operator can choose to
add a comment, which can be done once the measurement has been performed and is displayed on the screen by pressing F3. There, the operator can choose between 3 fixed comments (“With abnormality,” “In track,” or “Normal”) or the operator can select “comment” to add their comment using the keyboard.

Restore Routes:
This utility is very important because it will allow the
operator to return the status of a route to a state not measured, in order to make a new measurement route without losing the measurements already made. These remain in the computer’s memory; in this way the same route can be re-measured as many times as needed, without having to connect the equipment to the PC. Just simply select the route you want to re-measure and press F1 to restore it to No Action.
Performing a hard reset causes the last
measurements in the database to become part of the history generated within the DSP Expert Logger database.
After confirming the command to restore a plant,
you will have access to the last-covered values until you perform a transfer in the DSP Machinery Control software.

Validate Status:
If you have any doubts about the status of
equipment or the measurements displayed by the system, this option states revalidation of each measurement made.
The failure of the validation of the equipment may
happen if the computer runs out of battery power or shuts down accidentally.
Data Transfer: To transfer data from PC to the DSP Logger Expert and back, you must activate the connection to a PC.
With this open enabled, the device will be available
from the PC software, which will be responsible for sending and receiving routes and measures.
