==== How to connect analyzer in cascade? ====

The way to connect your TW analyzers together and use them as a chain is the one under.

[[Image:TW_cascade.png|thumb|left|1000px]]
 
For hardware connections, take a look at part 1.2.9 [https://wiki.oros.com/index.php?title=NVGate_Installation_and_Connection#Connect_to_multiple_analyzers_at_a_time_(Teamwork_only) here].

===Batteries===
OROS Teamwork instruments contains an internal battery block particularly useful for autonomous operations (except for OR34) or in case of temporary power failure (all OROS Teamwork instruments).

The batteries of OROS Teamwork instruments are designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. To obtain the longest battery life, please follow the following advice:

* Caution: Temperature above normal room temperature will shorten battery life. If OROS Teamwork instruments is stored or shipped at more than 40°C (104°F), recharge it before running the system.
* Charge the battery in cool area. The battery is charging when an OROS Teamwork instrument is plugged to a power supply. Charge stops when the Front Panel indicates 100%.
* Caution: Never store OROS Teamwork instruments with a discharged battery.
All batteries gradually lose their charge (the higher the temperature is, the quicker the batteries lose their charge). If you store your system for a long time without using it, recharge the batteries every two or three months. This practice will extend battery life.

===Fan===
The cooling fan is used to reduce the temperature inside OROS Teamwork instruments. From the Front Panel the user can manually switch it on or switch off (for very sensitive acoustic measurements).

The fan operation will be automatically forced when the temperature inside the OROS Teamwork instruments reaches 50°C and stops at 43°C.

Warning: Do not cover the Teamwork instrument in order to let the ventilation operate properly.

==Standards compatible ==

The ISO 2631 describes the effects on health and comfort of vibration on the whole-body in transportation systems, and ISO 5349 for the effects on health of vibration on hands and arms when manipulating machine-tools or vibrating objects. In the following, we will see how to use OROS to evaluate these effects. 

This is a post analysis toolkit, operating alongside NVGate after the recording of the signal and will help you to calculate time-weighted signal of acceleration and specific indicators both defined in the standards. 
 
'''Standards compatible''': international standards about whole/body vibration including: ISO 5349, ISO 8041, ISO 2631-1 and ISO 2631-5. 

'''Whole/body Vibration Indicators include ''': VDV, MSDV, MTVV, Weighted raw, al(ISO 2631-5), D(ISO 2631-5) are available. RMS, Peak, Crest, peak-Peak, are available in [[NVGate Time Domain Analysis|NVGate TDA plug in]].

==Toolkit results==
===Spectral weighting===
This results are already inside NVGate, you need to do a right click on the spectrum grey part.
Weighting/More... then select the apropropriate weighting.
[[File:weighting filter.png|500px]]

===Time-weighted signal===
Studies of the effect of vibrations on the human body suggest that parts of the body don't have the same response to vibrations as others, and will be more sensitive to specific frequencies and transient component of vibration signal. In order to represent the sensitivity of the human body, ISO standards define time-weighting that must be applied to the signal according to the environmental conditions. The following section shows how to apply time-weighting filters to your signal using the toolkit.
====Time-weighting filters====
As defined in the standards, specific time weighting must be applied to the acceleration signal in order to represent the effect of vibrations on health and comfort. Here is the list of the different time-weighting filters implemented in the toolkit :

Filters have been validated from 0.5 to 10kHz at 25.6kSample/second.

====Usage in the toolkit====
The toolkit allows you to calculate the filtered raw signal with any of the above weighting filters. This will allow you to display [[NVGate FFT|spectrums]] and calculate RMS via [[NVGate_Post_Analysis|post-analysis]] in NVGate.

To calculate the raw weighted signal, simply select the filters you want in the "Time signal filters" section:

[[Image:Filter2.png]]

Once the processing is completed, a new measurement containing the filtered signal for each selected filter is created in [[NVGate Project manager|NVGate Project Manager]] :

[[Image:Filtered_Sig.png|400px]]
 
You can then load the new signals in the player the same way as any NVGate signal. Each track of the signal is filtered with the corresponding filter. 

[[Image:Sig_In_ Player.png|800px]]

===Health and comfort indicator===
In addition to the time-weighting filters, the ISO standards present a series of specific metrics to evaluate the affect of vibrations on the Human body. The following section will present you how to use the toolkit to access these metrics.

======Aw======

The <math>A_w</math> is the RMS of the weighted acceleration signal. The weighting is applied in accordance with the direction set for each channel and the weighting filter defined for the direction. 

For each channel, the <math>A_w</math> and <math>A_w(T)</math> will be calculated. The <math>A_w(T)</math> is the daily exposure value, defined as : 
<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">A_w(T) = A_w*k_{i}*\sqrt{\frac{T}{T_m}}</math>
 
With <math>T_m</math> the duration of the measurement and <math>T</math> the total exposure duration represented by the "Reference time" parameter. the <math>k_i</math> factor is defined in the ISO 2631 as <math>k_X = k_Y = 1.4</math> and <math>k_Z = 1</math>.

When comparing result from one measurement point in the three direction, the maximum of the daily exposure value must be used as the total daily exposure value at that point : 
<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">A_w(T) = max(A_{wX}(T), A_{wY}(T), A_{wZ}(T)) </math>
 

======av======
The <math>a_v</math> is the total RMS vibration value of the weighted acceleration signal. This value will be automatically calculated with Aw indicator if a tri-axial sensor has been defined in the definition of direction window.

For each tri-axial sensor, the <math>a_v</math> will be calculated as a quadratic average of the weighted RMS value in the three directions : 

<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">a_v = \sqrt{{a_{vX}}^{2}*{k_{X}}^{2} + {a_{vY}}^{2}*{k_{Y}}^{2} + {a_{vZ}}^{2}*{k_{Z}}^{2}}</math> 
With <math>k_{X,Y,Z}</math> a factor defined in the ISO 2631 as <math>k_{X}=k_{Y}=1.4</math> and <math>k_{Z}=1</math>
 

======Ah======
The <math>A_h</math> is the RMS of the <math>W_h</math> weighted acceleration signal for hand-arms vibration measurement. For each channel, the <math>A_h</math> and <math>A_h(T)</math> will be calculated. The <math>A_h(T)</math> is the Daily exposure value, defined as : 

<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">A_h(T) = A_h*\sqrt{\frac{T}{T_m}}</math> 

With <math>T_m</math> the duration of the measurement and <math>T</math> the total exposure duration represented by the "Reference time" parameter. 

If any sensor is defined, the total <math>A_h</math> and <math>A_h(T)</math> will be calculated for each sensor as a quadratic average of the three direction of the sensor : 
<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">A_{h Total} = \sqrt{{a_{hX}}^{2}*{k_{X}}^{2} + {a_{hY}}^{2}*{k_{Y}}^{2} + {a_{hZ}}^{2}*{k_{Z}}^{2}}</math>
 
and : 
 
<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">A_{h Total}(T) = \sqrt{{a_{hX}}^{2}*{k_{X}}^{2} + {a_{hY}}^{2}*{k_{Y}}^{2} + {a_{hZ}}^{2}*{k_{Z}}^{2}}*\sqrt{\frac{T}{T_m}}</math>
 
With <math>T_m</math> the duration of the measurement and <math>T</math> the total exposure duration represented by the "Reference time" parameter, and <math>k_{X}=k_{Y}=k_{Z}=1</math>
 

======Peak======

This indicator is the [[NVGate_Time_Domain_Analysis#Available_results|peak amplitude]] of the vibration signal. It represents the maximum amplitude of the weighted signal. This indicator can be obtained in NVGate by [[NVGate Post Analysis|post-analysing]] the weighted signal with the [[NVGate Time Domain Analysis|TDA plugin of NVGate]].

======Crest Factor======

This indicator is the [[NVGate_Time_Domain_Analysis#Available_results|Crest Factor]] of the vibration signal. It represent the importance of the transient event in the signal as the ratio of the maximal Peak amplitude over the RMS level for the weighted signal. This indicator can be obtained in NVGate by [[NVGate Post Analysis|post-analysing]] the weighted signal with the [[NVGate Time Domain Analysis|TDA plugin of NVGate]].

======MTVV======
The MTVV is the Maximal Transient Vibration Value, is the maximum of the running RMS of the weighted acceleration. This value is calculated for each channel and is expressed in m/s².

The MTVV Tau is the integration time, expressed in seconds. This value can be edited before the calculation, but the ISO 2631 recommend to use 1 second. Therefore, this is the default value of this parameter.

======VDV======
The VDV is the forth power Vibration Dose Value. It is calculated as a cumulative sum of the weighted acceleration at the fourth power. The fourth power is used to give more weight to the transient event of the signal over the periodic event. Therefore, this indicator must be used to assess the effect of shock on human health and comfort. The VDV is calculated for each channel and expressed in m/s^(1.75). 

If the "VDVTexp" box is checked, an evaluation of the VDV value over a longer time period will be calculated of each channel as : 
<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">VDV_{X,Y,Z}(T) = VDV_{X,Y,Z}*k_{X,Y,Z}*\sqrt[4]{\frac{T}{T_m}}</math> 

With <math>T_m</math> the duration of the measurement and <math>T</math> the total exposure duration represented by the "Reference time" parameter, and <math>k_{X}=k_{Y}=1.4</math>, and <math>k_{Z}=1</math>

======MSDV======
This metric is the Motion Sickness Dose Value, used to evaluate the ride comfort in in-vehicle measurement. It is expressed in m/s^(1.5). 

Although this value will be calculated for each direction, only the Z-direction will have a prominent relevance to assess ride comfort.
======Dk======
<math>D_k</math> is the acceleration dose. It is use to evaluate the effect of vibrations on the human spine, and calculated as the 6th root of the sum of the peaks in the acceleration signal raised at the 6th power. It is expressed in m/s². Peaks are defined as the absolute maximum of the acceleration signal between two zeros crossing. In the Z direction, only the positive peak will be considered, were all positive and negative peaks are used for the X and Y directions. 

Specific filters are used to weight the acceleration signal before calculating the <math>D_k</math>. These filter are different for the vertical and horizontal direction, and are defined for a sampling rate of 160 Sample/second. Therefore, we advise to [[NVGate Recorder|record]] the signal with a low [[NVGate_Front_End#Input_settings|sampling rate]] in NVGate. 

Assessing the affect of the vibration on human spine most is important when dealing with transportation vehicular, especially the driver seat. For a better evaluation, the ISO 2631-5 advises calculating the daily acceleration dose, defined as : 

<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">D_{X,Y,Z}(T) = D_{X,Y,Z}*\sqrt[6]{\frac{T}{T_m}}</math> 

This value will be calculated if the box "Dk Texp" is checked.

======Se======
The Se is the compressive stress on the human spine, expressed in MPa. It is calculated by the combination the Dk in the three direction. Therefore, it will only be calculated if sensors are defined in the "Select Direction" window. One value of Se will be calculated for each sensor by the formula : 
<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">Se = \sqrt[6]{\sum_{k=X,Y,Z}(D_{k}*m_{k})^6}</math> 

Where <math>m_{X} = 0,015</math> MPa/(m/s²), <math>m_{Y} = 0,035</math> MPa/(m/s²) and <math>m_{Z} = 0,032</math> MPa/(m/s²). 

To evaluate the lumbar stress over a daily exposition time, the Se(T) will also be calculated as : 
<math display="block" forcemathmode="5">Se(T) = \sqrt[6]{\sum_{k=X,Y,Z}(D_{k}(T)*m_{k})^6}</math> 

T being the total exposure duration represented by the "Reference time" parameter. 

====In the toolkit====
Before calculating the indicators in the toolkit, you must define a filter for each direction. Filters will be selected in accordance with the desired result (Hand-arms; Whole-Body, ..) and the direction of the measurement as specified in the table [[Human_Vibration#Time-weighting_filters|describing the filters]]. Filters will be applied to the signal before calculating the indicators, but the time-filtered signal will not be saved. 
[[Image:proc_filt.png]]
 
You will then need to enter the reference time you want to use to estimate the parameters on a greater duration. This duration must be entered in seconds. The default value is 288500 seconds, corresponding to an 8 hour exposition: 
[[Image:Ref_Time.png]]

You will finally need to enter the MTVV Tau value. The MTVV Tau is the integration time in seconds used for the calculation of the MTVV. The ISO 2631 recommends using 1sec. This is the default value of the setting. 

Once the filters are selected and the parameters competed, you can select the metrics you want to calculate by checking the different boxes. 
[[Image:all_proc.png]] 
You can then start the processing to calculate the indicators. 

Here, we are calculating all the indicators for the "Seat_Pad_Measurement" signal. This signal contains 3 Tracks, one for each channel X, Y and Z of a three axis accelerometer. As we want to calculate the multi-axis metrics, we also define a sensor on the three tracks, called "Seat_Pas_3axis". 
[[Image:Set_up_seatPad.png|500px]]
 
Once completed, the result can be found in the currently opened project in the [[NVGate Project manager]]. A new measurement called "NAME_OF_THE_Signal_out" containing the result is created. 

[[Image:ResInProjMAn2.png|300px]] 

Each indicator is calculated for each direction and for each track of the signal. The name of the result contains the name of the track, the considered direction and the filter used for that direction (except for the <math>D_k</math> which use specific filters). 
The following picture shows the indicators for the first track (SeatPadX) of the signal : 
[[Image:Resut_SeatPad.png|300px]]
 

For the metrics estimated on the "Reference Time", the name of the indicator is followed by "(Ref_Time_in_Second"). Here an example with the VDV metric, the name of the indicator is displayed in the window title : 
[[Image:VDV_andTexp.png|800px]]
 

The metrics combining the three directions (av, Se, Ah,...) are named as following : "METRICS_Name : Sensor". Here is an example for Se :

[[Image:Se.png|400px]]
 
You can then display the result in NVGate by double clicking.
 

====Unit in NVGate====
For acceleration measure, please only use m/s², otherwise, Aw, Ah and other indicators will not be calculated correctly.
If wished, you might change the unit after wise in NVGate, in [[NVGate_User_Preferences#Physical_quantity|Spare units of NVGate]].

To display the right unit for the MSDV;, VDV and Se indicators, you need to modify the [[NVGate_User_Preferences#Physical_quantity|Spare units of NVGate]] as :
* Spare1 : <math>m/{s}^{1.75}</math> for the VDV
* Spare2 : <math>m/{s}^{1.5}</math> for the MSDV
* Spare3 : <math>Pa</math> for the Se (you can adapt the display as MPa).
 
No formula needs to be entered as the calculations are already built-in to the toolkit. You will only need to enter the unit and your display preferences.
 

==Practical information about measurements==

This section will provide you with some practical information about Human Vibration evaluations.

Human vibrations are transmitted to the human body over a reasonable amount of time. This transmission mainly happens in vehicles during transportation, in buildings, and when using vibrating equipment and tools, such as electric drills and blowers. Since the last century, studies have shown that vibrations can have many affects on the human body, from discomfort and transportion sickness to serious health issues, including blood flow disorders to muscular and rheumatisms. 
Therefore, methods of measurement and evaluation of these vibrations have been developed over the years, and have translated into several standards for mechanical appliances to prevent discomfort and harm. 

===Type of measurement===
====Whole-Body Measurement====
Measurement procedures for whole-body vibration evaluation are described in ISO 2631. This type of vibration will mainly occur in transportation and in the workplace when working with big machinery. Therefore, the evaluation of the vibration will be carried out on the part supporting the human body, like backside and feet for a seated person and feet for a standing person. Sensors must be placed to assess vibration to these specific points. Measurement must be carried on the complete system. Meaning the user must be present during the measurement and operate the machine/vehicle as usual. The following picture, extracted from the standard, gives indication of the orientation of the sensors : 

[[Image:Axis_WholeBody.png]] 

For each point, the vibration must be measured in the three directions: X, Y and Z. As different weighting will be used for each direction, it is very important that each sensor is oriented according to the same directions. The Z direction must always be used in the direction of the human spine. 

Specific sensors must be used in order to detect vibration at the transmission point. For a seated person, [https://www.dytran.com/Model-5313A-Triaxial-Seat-Pad-Accelerometer-P2161/|Seat Pad accelerometer] allows you to acquire vibrations at the buttocks : 
[[Image:DytranSeatPad.png]] 
If necessary, the same kind of sensors can by used under the feet of a standing person. These sensor must be fixed to hold in place when the subject moves. For vibration transmitted to feet, standard accelerometers can also be placed on the floor. 
 
The length of the measurement should be representative of the whole exposure duration during a day. However, as it is not always possible to acquire long signal, the ISO 2631 specifies that measurement must be taken for at least 20 minutes, and 2h measurement are preferable. Using the OROS tool kit, long signals file can be take a lot of time to analyze. In order to analyze signal files longer than 30 minutes, we advise to : 
* Reduce the Sampling rate, as frequency bandwidth for Whole-body vibration will note exceed 1kHz.
* Split each sensor over several files.
 
Please contact OROS customer care team for additional advice.
 

====Hand-Arm Measurement====

Measurement procedures for hand-arm vibration evaluation are described in the ISO 5349. This type of vibration is transmitted to the body by the hands and the arms when using hand-tools and equipment, holding a vibrating object (like the steering wheel in a vehicle), or feeding a machine (wood cutting or turning). 

Here, the direction of the sensor is not important, however, at least two directions must be acquired at each point in the direction perpendicular to the handle axis. The most important part is to measure vibration at the contact point of the hand and the tool. Specific adaptors can be used to hold the accelerometer with the handle.

 
The length of the measurement should be representative of the whole exposure duration during a day. Therefore, it can vary from very short measurement (when feeding the machine) to longer measurement (steering wheel). 
Using the OROS tool kit, long signal files can take a lot of time to analyze. In order to analyze signal files longer than 30 minutes, we advise to : 
* Reduce the Sampling rate, as frequency bandwidth for Whole-body vibration will note exceed 1kHz.
* Split each sensors over several files.
 
Please contact OROS customer care team for additional advice.
 

The main indicator used for hand-arm vibration will be the Ah and Ah(8) metrics.

==ExtractTacho==
===Package composition===

* NVGate add-on tool "ExtractTach": ''ExtractTach.exe''

===Configuration===

The add-on "ExtractTach.exe" is located within NVGate installation directory.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_04.png|framed|none]]

It is recommended to add a shortcut of this exe file in the "Link" directory (C:\OROS\NVGate data\Links) to have direct access from NVGate in Link Section.

'''Principle'''

From NVGate, load the project containing the measurement you want to edit. "Tach extract" will scan all the measurement in your active project. 

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_05.png|framed|none]]

 The measurement parameters fields must be filled in:

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_06.gif|framed|none]]

 '''"Measure name":''' select the measurement where the waterfall is located

'''"Waterfall":''' Select the waterfall where you need to extract the tachometer. '''"Output":''' A new waterfall will be created after extracting the tachometer. This will be the name of this new tachometer.

===Create a tachometer===

First of all, the tachometer must be drawn or computed, then you will be able to display it and insert it into NVGate measurement.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_07.png|framed|none]]

 Select draw tach to create a tachometer from a waterfall. It will display the waterfall that you have chosen and allow you to draw a tachometer on it.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_08.gif|framed|none]]

 On this view, you will have to draw, with a mouse click, the order.

Click on "CTRL<nowiki>+</nowiki>Z" to remove the last point that you have drawn. 
You can change the display in "Logarithm" or "Linear" to help you to draw the tachometer if needed.

These are the display options for zooming and changing the display 
[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_09.png|framed|none]]

When this is done close the windows with the cross. It will automatically save what you have drawn.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_10.gif|framed|none]]

Select the order number that you have drawn. We need this information for being able to recompute the tachometer.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_11.gif|framed|none]]

Select the algorithm:

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_12.gif|framed|none]]

* Max around drawn (advice): will search the maximum around the drawn tachometer in a window around it.
* "Same as Drawn" will put exactly the same that you have drawn.

Display this new tachometer with "Display draw tach".

Then you show the tachometer profile that you have computed.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_13.gif|framed|none]]

Finally, "Insert tach" will create a new measurement into NVGate with a new tachometer associated as reference.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_14.gif|framed|none]]

You can change the reference and insert the calculated tacho.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_15.gif|framed|none]]

Also select the calculated tachometer on "Select tacho" panel for order extraction.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_16.gif|framed|none]]

===Edit tachometer===
This function allows to edit a tachometer, and particularly to linearize it in a zone.

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_17.png|framed|none]]

Once a result is selected into "Measurement Parameters", all existing tachometers will be added into the combo box and you can select one of them.

The associated tachometer profile can be display with "Smooth tach" button as below:

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_18.png|framed|none]]

If it<nowiki>’</nowiki>s needed to remove a part of the profile, or linearize it because inconsistent pick, just click at the beginning of the wanted zone, and then at the end, it will display a red area:

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_19.png|framed|none]]

Then, the "Ctrl<nowiki>+</nowiki>a" shortcut will linearize the area, using the start and end value of the area:

[[Image:Manual_-_Tach_Extract_20.png|framed|none]]

The window can now be closed and the edited tachometer inserted into NVGate via "Insert" button.

We need to enable zstd compression, find wiredTiger block and edit it as followed : 

<pre>storage:
dbPath: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\data
journal:
enabled: true
engine: wiredTiger
wiredTiger:
collectionConfig:
blockCompressor: zstd</pre>

Configure the net part as needed, example with port 27017 and allowing any external IP address :<pre>
# network interfaces
net:
port: 27017
bindIpAll: true
# bindIp: 127.0.0.1"
</pre>

If you want to secure the connection to MongoDB, only allow know IP address.

Documentation is available on official website: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/configuration-options/

d. MongoDB Shell installation

Run mongosh-1.8.0-x64.msi, uncheck “Install just for you” and continue installation.

[[File:Picture3.png|400px]]

Run mongosh.exe from "C:\Program Files\mongosh". A command window will popup asking MongoDB information, do not write anything and press Enter, connection should be done:

The OROS series multi-function FFT analyzer is PC-based, high-performance, high reliability and easy to operate.

We have further increased the arithmetic processing speed and increased the real-time analysis capacity to more than 16 times that of the conventional model (OR20 series). An ethernet LAN cable is used as the interface.

In addition, the number of simultaneous recording channels in the frequency range (40 kHz) has been expanded to a maximum of 1000 channels and the dynamic range has been improved to 140 dB. These improvements allow a user to measure time signals over a wide frequency range simultaneously on multiple channels.

*Real-time measurement / post-analysis can be performed with the same software platform (NVGate)
*One-click report creation function

===Start the Measurement Quickly and Easily===

You can start measuring immediately by using the quick function provided in the OROS FFT analyzer mult function. This is completed by defining the number of input channels in the channel field and the measurement/analysis content in the show results area.

The Oros series FFT spectrum analyzer multifunction uses an interface similar to the ribbon interface used by Microsoft Office. All menus are accessible via the ribbon interface, making it easy to change measurement settings.

[[File:home3.PNG|800px|software ribbon|alt=NVgate ribbon technology]]

===One-click Setting Function===
With the Oros series multi-purpose FFT analyzer, you can display related measurement condition settings by double-clicking on the measurement screen. For example, if you double-click on the FFT analysis screen, the dialog for setting the measurement conditions for FFT analysis will be displayed on the screen as shown below.

[[File:FFT_analyzer_spectrum.png|500px|FFT spectrum|alt=Parameters easy to change]]

===Control Panel===
In addition, the OROS FFT spectrum analyzer is equipped with a control panel function that allows users to save frequently used measurement settings for quick access. By using this function, all settings can be changed on the [[NVGate_Control_Panel|control panel]]. For example, the following is the setting screen for a hammer test. By saving the input settings, threshold settings, and FFT analysis settings to the control panel as shown below, it is possible to make all the necessary settings quickly by only using the control panel.

[[File:control pannel_test.png|700px|Software FFT settings|alt=Control easily the software]]

===Various filters can be applied to recorded signals & FFT analysis results===
Four types of filters: Low-pass filter, high-pass filter, band-bus filter, and band-stop filter, can be applied to the results of recorded signal and FFT analysis. By using a [[NVGate_Filter_Builder|filter]], it is possible to remove abnormal noise components from the recorded signal and perform processing such as reproducing the extracted abnormal noise components.

[[File:filter_fft.png|600px|Filter analyzer]]

[[File:drag_drop_report.jpg|Software NVGate]]

===One-click report creation function===

Simply click the report button located on the ribbon interface to create a [[NVGate_Report|report]] file containing the current measurement results.

[[File:allwindows_.PNG|NVGate report|alt=report all windows]]

• The content of the report is customizable. Customize it to the format that best suits your needs.

[[File:report-customize.jpg|500px|customize FFT analyzer software report|alt=Post analysis vibration software]]

===Measurement data search function===
[[File:pc cloud.PNG|right|Data stored|alt=cloud vibration data]]
Various information (meta-data) can be added when saving measurement data.
You then can search for measurement data and projects based on the added information.

Filter:
* Project name
* Measurement date and time
* Measurement conditions
* Measurement target
* Measurement site
* User
[[File:filter_project.PNG|550px|meta data on noise and vibration software NVGate|alt=Acoustic and vibration search function]]

===Fail judgment function as standard===
The [https://youtu.be/kx2HbcvfG_w pass / fail feature] of NVGate can be performed automatically after setting the desired bounds.

In the example below, a dialog is displayed when the product fails, but it is also possible to output a contact signal instead of the dialog.

[[File:fail_test.JPG|Pass/fail test on resonnance frequency impact hammer test|alt=Failed pass test on resonnance frequency test]]

===Automate post-analysis processing===

The same processing can be continuously performed for record files measured multiple times. By using this function, it is possible to automate the generation of reports, and it is possible to generate the same number of post-analysis results and EXCEL-based reports as record files with one click. Processing that used to take more than a week can now be done in a few hours.

VBoyet: /* "Getting Started" Tutorial */

[[category:WikiOros]]
==Introduction and Overview==
===Objectives===
The objective of the EVHV module is to characterize the electromagnetic forces which are responsible for the noise emission of an electric motor. In particular, it will be achieved through 2 main steps:

* eFrequencies determination and displays: They represent the characteristic frequencies that one may expect to find in the spectra. They are based on the specificities of the motor and depend on the RPM. For this reason, they are defined as harmonics.

* Spatiograms analysis and displays: Spatiograms are calculated based on measurements of accelerometers data distributed around the surface of the motor stator as shown in the picture below.

[[Image:EVHV_01.gif|framed|none]]

''Sensors positioned for Spatiograms analysis''

Each spatiogram is representative of a spatial distribution of the Electromagnetic forces. The sum of the participation of each spatiogram leads to the global vibration response. Determining the spatiogram responsible for the vibration harmonic that should be decreased is one of the major objectives of the EVHV module.

[[Image:EVHV_02.png|framed|none]]

''Separation of the response in a sum of participating wavenumbers''

==="Getting Started" Tutorial===
The following tutorial is based on a provided project called "EVHV App Z12p2" (get it [https://my.oros.com/categories/sales-tools/demo-kit/#ev-hv-demo-kit here]). To follow the steps below, one should first place this project in the NVGate projects directory. When starting NVGate the following window will display. One should open a project and select "EVHV App Z12p2". This chapter is meant to provide a first global approach in order to go through the main steps.

===Open the Project and Load Setup===

[[Image:EVHV_03.gif|framed|none]]

''Open project''

[[Image:EVHV_04.gif|framed|none]]

''Load Setup, last saved in project''

The setup contains 2 layouts: Spectra and Spatio

[[Image:EVHV_05.png|framed|none]]

''Display layout 1 called Spectra''

===Checking the eFrequencies===

[[Image:EVHV_06.png|framed|none]]

''EV/HV ribbon''

eMachine should be clicked to access to the following dialog. At this stage, one can select the main characteristics of the eMotor.

[[Image:EVHV_07.gif|framed|none]]

''Machine definition''

When the machine is configured, one can press Save. The user goes automatically to the following dialog which is the "eMarkers" one.

[[Image:EVHV_08.png|framed|none]]

''eMarkers table''

When pressing "Apply" the eMarkers will be displayed on the graphs of the current layout.

[[Image:EVHV_09.png|framed|none]]

''Spectra with the eMarkers''

The eMarkers dialog should be closed by clicking on the cross on the top right hand-side.

Change the Layout to reach layout2 (called Spatio): Changing the layout can be achieved by clicking on
[[Image:EVHV_10.png]]
which is located in the "Measurement" tab. A keyboard shortcut also exists: <nowiki>[</nowiki>CTRL<nowiki>+</nowiki>SPACE<nowiki>]</nowiki>.

===Displaying Spatiograms===

[[Image:EVHV_11.png|framed|none]]

''Icons linked to the display of the spatiograms''

By opening the
[[Image:EVHV_12.png]]
Sensor Positions editor, one can check the positions that were saved in the setup.

[[Image:EVHV_13.png|framed|none]]

The next step is to select a measurement. In the provided project and its contained measurement, spatiograms are already calculated. One should press the icon "select measurement" as shown below. In the dialog that follows, one should type in the filtering area. For example: "Z12". This will allow you to easily find the appropriate measurement.

[[Image:EVHV_14.png|framed|none]]

''Selecting a measurement''

If a spatiogram has not already been calculated, at this point, spatiograms for all wavenumbers will be loaded and displayed as you can see in our below example. Please note that there will be one spatiogram per wavenumber.

[[Image:EVHV_15.png|framed|none]]

''Loading the Spatiograms''

Following that action, the spatiograms are automatically scaled and displayed as follows.

[[Image:EVHV_16.png|framed|none]]

''Spatiograms displays''

* The spatiograms are displayed here using the 3*3 configuration.
* The left top window is a reference spectrogram, the others are spatiograms
* The spatiograms are automatically scaled by using the default "scale on max display option". It takes the Max of all results and set it as the maximum value of the scale.
* We want now to find the participating wavenumbers to the specific harmonic of interest. As an example, we want to know what the participating wavenumbers to H12 are (Index 3). We see that the wavenumber 0 is clearly the highest contributor to H12.
* Applying the eMarkers, confirms that emarker3 is placed on the spatiogram.

[[Image:EVHV_17.png|framed|none]]

''Applying eMarkers to the Spatiograms''

When using the displays:

* The windows configuration can be changed using [[Image:EVHV_18.gif]]

* The scaling can be updated using the Scale on Max [[Image:EVHV_19.png]]or the scale on displayed [[Image:EVHV_20.png]]

* The reference spectrogram (after selecting it) can be changed by using [[Image:EVHV_21.gif]]

* The wavenumber for each spatiogram can be changed by using [[Image:EVHV_22.png]]

==eFrequencies: from eMachine Setup to eMarkers Display==
There are 2 main steps in the determination of the eFrequencies: the machine description achieved through the eMachine tab [[Image:EVHV_23.gif]] and the eMarkers tab [[Image:EVHV_24.png]] where the eFrequencies are calculated.

===eMachine===
By clicking on [[Image:EVHV_25.gif]], one displays the following dialog. Two main types of machines are configurable: PMSM machines and SCIM machines.

[[Image:EVHV_26.png|framed|none]]

One can keep this configuration in the workbook of the project by pressing SAVE. After pressing SAVE, the eMarkers tab opens automatically.

One can load an eMachine by pressing LOAD. When opening a project with its associated workbook, the eMachine saved in the workbook of that project will be automatically loaded.

The configuration parameters depend on the type of machine and they can be seen in the above example.

===eMarkers===
The eMarkers associated to the eMachine can be displayed by clicking on the following icon [[Image:EVHV_27.png]]
From the table one can apply the eMarkers to the relevant graphs (spectra, spectrograms, spatiograms).

[[Image:EVHV_28.png|framed|none]]

One can choose to whether or not to have them displayed by activating/inactivating the VIEW checkbox.

When displaying eMarkers for a SCIM machine, one should setup the SLIP as well (between 0 and 1).

The tool tip of each eMarker will provide more detail about the eMarker. To see it, the eFrequencies editor needs to be active and one needs to hold the mouse for one second over the harmonic.

One should read the table using the following notations:

* H: Harmonics of the rotating speed
* f: frequency
* fs: electric stator frequency
* r: wavenumbers

==Spatiograms: from Acquisition to Display==
Spatiograms allow us to evaluate the contribution of each wavenumber to the vibration response. This is done by comparing all the spatiograms to one reference spectrogram. Spatiograms are calculated offline based on instant spectra waterfalls using the motor RPMs or time as the z axis reference. If the spatiograms are not contained in the project, they are automatically calculated when selecting the measurement.

In the spatiograms ribbon area the following actions can be achieved:

{|border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%"
|align = "center"|
[[Image:EVHV_29.png|framed|none]]

|-
|align = "center"|
[[Image:EVHV_38.png|framed|none]]

|Spatiogram selection
|Allows you to select the spatiogram to be displayed by selecting its associated wavenumber. This icon is only active when the spectrogram window is active.

|}

===Sensors Positions===
To allow the spatiograms to display the sensors, positions need to be defined. This is achieved through the "Sensors Positions Editor" [[Image:EVHV_39.png]] as displayed below.

[[Image:EVHV_40.png|framed|none]]

The node defined in this window needs to be the same ones as the ones used in the input<nowiki>'</nowiki>s configuration.

The sensors position setup can be saved in the project workbook using the SAVE button. It can be reloaded using the LOAD button. When loading the project, its associated setup is loaded as well.

===Displaying Spatiograms===
Spatiograms are displayed by first selecting the measurement using [[Image:EVHV_41.gif]]and selecting the desired wavenumbers using [[Image:EVHV_42.png]]. Spatiograms are all displayed with a blue background to distinguish them specifically from the Spectrograms.

There is a shortcut that allows you to easily change wavenumbers. One should select the spatiogram that is to be modified and use <nowiki>[</nowiki>CTRL<nowiki>]+</nowiki> <nowiki>[</nowiki>up and down arrows<nowiki>]</nowiki>.

In order to fully use the content of the Spatiograms, one should apply the markers on the spatiograms and open the section using the left bottom cross. If the spatiogram contains eMarkers, the bottom left section will show the profiles of the eMarkers.

[[Image:EVHV_43.png|framed|none]]

''Showing all eMarkers contained in Spatiogram 0''

[[Image:EVHV_44.png|framed|none]]

''Selecting all active eMarkers contained in Spatiogram 0''

The order section cursor is also active and can be used to compare the eMarkers section to other order sections.

{|border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%"
|One can grab the cursor in each of the sections to position it at the right frequency or right RPM (or time). The spatiograms will follow the preferences setup for the colormaps (dB by default). It can also be displayed as a 3D graph if desired <nowiki>[</nowiki>Lin by default<nowiki>]</nowiki>. As described earlier, and as the EVHV module is integrated in NVGate, it will benefit of all NVGate standard functions. For more details the NVGate user<nowiki>'</nowiki>s manual should be consulted. 
[[Image:EVHV_45.png|framed|none]]

|align = "center"| ''Order profile cursor''

==Links==
The links group allows you to add any additional dedicated module which would be optionally written as a macro or an external program. It should be placed in the LINKS directory of NVGate. If this is done, it will appear in the list.

* Selection of an external application or macro to be started
* Execute the application
==Help==
The help section allows you to access 2 main features:

[[Image:EVHV_46.png|framed|none]]

==== How to connect analyzer in cascade? ====

The way to connect your TW analyzers together and use them as a chain is the one under.

[[Image:TW_cascade.png|thumb|left|1000px]]
 
For hardware connections, take a look at part 1.2.9 [https://wiki.oros.com/index.php?title=NVGate_Installation_and_Connection#Connect_to_multiple_analyzers_at_a_time_(Teamwork_only) here].

===Batteries===
OROS Teamwork instruments contains an internal battery block particularly useful for autonomous operations (except for OR34) or in case of temporary power failure (all OROS Teamwork instruments).

The batteries of OROS Teamwork instruments are designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. To obtain the longest battery life, please follow the following advice:

* Caution: Temperature above normal room temperature will shorten battery life. If OROS Teamwork instruments is stored or shipped at more than 40°C (104°F), recharge it before running the system.
* Charge the battery in cool area. The battery is charging when an OROS Teamwork instrument is plugged to a power supply. Charge stops when the Front Panel indicates 100%.
* Caution: Never store OROS Teamwork instruments with a discharged battery.
All batteries gradually lose their charge (the higher the temperature is, the quicker the batteries lose their charge). If you store your system for a long time without using it, recharge the batteries every two or three months. This practice will extend battery life.

===Fan===
The cooling fan is used to reduce the temperature inside OROS Teamwork instruments. From the Front Panel the user can manually switch it on or switch off (for very sensitive acoustic measurements).

The fan operation will be automatically forced when the temperature inside the OROS Teamwork instruments reaches 50°C and stops at 43°C.

Warning: Do not cover the Teamwork instrument in order to let the ventilation operate properly.

==== How to connect analyzer in cascade ? ====

The way to connect together your TW analyzer and use it as a chain is the one under.

[[Image:TW_cascade.png|thumb|left|1000px]]
 
For Hardware connections, take a look at part 1.2.9 [https://wiki.oros.com/index.php?title=NVGate_Installation_and_Connection#Connect_to_multiple_analyzers_at_a_time_(Teamwork_only)|here].

===Batteries===
OROS Teamwork instruments contains an internal battery block particularly useful for autonomous operations (except for OR34) or in case of temporary power failure (all OROS Teamwork instruments).

The batteries of OROS Teamwork instruments are designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. To obtain the longest battery life, please follow the following advice:

* Caution: Temperature above normal room temperature will shorten battery life. If OROS Teamwork instruments is stored or shipped at more than 40°C (104°F), recharge it before running the system.
* Charge the battery in cool area. The battery is charging when an OROS Teamwork instrument is plugged to a power supply. Charge stops when the Front Panel indicates 100%.
* Caution: Never store OROS Teamwork instruments with a discharged battery.
All batteries gradually lose their charge (the higher the temperature is, the quicker the batteries lose their charge). If you store your system for a long time without using it, recharge the batteries every two or three months. This practice will extend battery life.

===Fan===
The cooling fan is used to reduce the temperature inside OROS Teamwork instruments. From the Front Panel the user can manually switch it on or switch off (for very sensitive acoustic measurements).

The fan operation will be automatically forced when the temperature inside the OROS Teamwork instruments reaches 50°C and stops at 43°C.

Warning: Do not cover the Teamwork instrument in order to let the ventilation operate properly.

[[Image:Install_6.png|500px]]

It is necessary to restart the computer to complete the installation of Sentinel driver. Click on "Finish".

===Connecting the analyzer to your PC===
NVGate features a dialog box dedicated to the connection and update of the analyzer(s). This dialog allows choosing between office, connected and cascaded modes.

====Connection dialog====
This dialog gathers in a unique list the office mode and the list of visible analyzers for connected mode. It is possible to select one or multiple analyzers, Teamwork instruments only, or the office mode

[[Image:Usersmanual_84.png|framed|none]]

The dialog contains multiple area and commands.

* '''''Model''''' list area shows the available analyzers and the office mode.
* '''''Details''''' '''& modifications''' area shows the information related to the highlighted analyzer and allows updating it through the hyperlinks. Analyzer may be highlighted by clicking on the corresponding row out of the selection check box.
* '''''Connection Issue notification'''''. This area appears at the bottom of the Model list when an issue blocks the start of NVGate (''Start'' button is disabled)
* '''''Refresh''' ''button rescans the network and updates model column.
* '''''Resync''''' button re-launches the clock synchronization between multiple Teamwork analyzers for cascade purposes.
* '''''Start''''' button launches NVGate with the selected model; Office, Connected, Multiple analyzers

====Visibility of analyzers====
Visible analyzers are the OROS 3-Series (V2 and V3 called ''Teamwork'') connected on the same network as the PC. The connection between the PC and the visible analyzer(s) must be on the same logical network (i.e.: A company LAN with LAN switches or cascade of ''Teamwork'' analyzers).

* Analyzers already running an NVGate session are not visible in this dialog.
* Analyzers with the same IP address are visible in this dialog. IP must be changed to different ones to allow starting NVGate on multiple analyzers.
'''''Name,''''' '''''Chain''''', and '''''Status''''' columns are periodically updated.

NB: Internet Routers are supported by ''Teamwor''k analyzers only by specifying the analyzer IP address in the command line of NVGate.

====Ethernet connection rules====
On the back panel of the analyzer:

2 Ethernet 1 Gb/S connectors for connection to PC and cascade of analyzers.

* Connect the PC to IN
* In cascade mode connect the PC to first analyzer (master) to IN. Next units are daisy chained (OUT -<nowiki>></nowiki> IN, OUT- <nowiki>></nowiki> IN, etc…) in cascaded mode.
* Cable required Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair. Use the blue cables.
2 clock synchronization connectors 100 Mb/s Ethernet

* Do not use while using a sole analyzer
* Daisy chain from Master unit to the next one in cascaded mode (OUT -<nowiki>></nowiki> IN, OUT- <nowiki>></nowiki> IN, etc…)
====Connection to the analyzer====
To connect to your analyzer, select the corresponding check box in the '''''Model''''' column. To start NVGate with the '''''Office''''' mode (Running on the PC with a dongle or the analyzer as a dongle) select the '''''Office''''' model.

The '''''Office''''' model is automatically selected if there is no visible analyzer.

In the presence of visible analyzers, NVGate will select the first connected one in the list according to the following priority:

* Firmware compatibility
* IP compatibility
* Discovery date
The '''''Start''''' button will remain disabled until the following criteria are fulfilled:

* At least one model is selected
* If it is one or plural connected one:
* The corresponding models<nowiki>’</nowiki> firmware are up to date.
* The IP address of the selected models are compatible with the PC one
NB: it is not possible to mix '''''Office''''' and '''''Connected''''' models

====Ethernet IP management====
Both PC IP and and highlighted analyzer are visible in the detail area. You can change the analyzer IP settings by clicking on the '''''analyzer IP''''' link.

[[Image:Usersmanual_85.png|framed|none]]

You can update the analyzer IP manually but the most substantial and easy way to solve IP address conflicts is to use the '''''Generate Automatically''' ''button. This method will take in account all IP addresses in the logical network to avoid any conflict; even the ones not visible from this dialog.

====DHCP server from the analyzer====
This feature allows the analyzer to provide the PC<nowiki>’</nowiki>s IP address. This is available from ''Teamwork'' analyzers only.

When a ''Teamwork'' analyzer is set as a DHCP server, it will update your PC IP address when this one is set as '''''Get automatically IP address.''''' This configuration allows immediate connection of PC configured for company network.

[[Image:Usersmanual_86.png|framed|none]]

The DHCP server of the analyzer is '''''Non-authoritative''''', this means that when the analyzer is connected to a local network it will not act when an '''''Authoritative''''' one exists.

====Firmware update====
The firmware can be updated on demand. The '''''Connection''''' dialog detects the not-up-to-date firmware. Simply click in the '''''firmware''''' link: ''Not up-to-date'' to enter the firmware update process.

[[Image:Usersmanual_87.png|500px]]

A monitoring window is opened during the update. At the end if the update is successful, the window background goes to green. In case of unsuccessful, it goes to red.

====Change analyzer name====
While using multiple analyzers together, it is useful to set easily the identification of each chassis. Click on the '''''Name''''' Link to update the highlighted analyzer identifiers.

[[Image:Usersmanual_88.png|framed|none]]

* Long name is used to identify the system in the software installation and properties dialogs
* Short names are used in NVGate settings and trace/result management.

====Connect to multiple analyzers at a time (Teamwork only)====
NVGate allows running multiple ''Teamwork instruments'' from a unique NVGate instance at a time. This allows cascaded or distributed configuration of OR36/OR38 ''Teamwork''.

The same program (NVGate.exe) and connection dialog is used. After launching NVGate you get the visible analyzer list in the connection dialog.

[[Image:Usersmanual_89.png|framed|none]]

 

The '''''Chain''''' column shows the possible analyzers combination.

* The first digit is for the chain Id.
* The second one is for the analyzer position in the said chain.
* A chain is defined by a group of consecutive daisy-chained analyzers with a clock synchronization line in between.
A unique analyzer is considered as a chain.

The '''''Status''''' column shows the synchronization status.

* '''''Synchronized''''' means the analyzers sampling clocks are in phase (<nowiki><</nowiki> ±0.2° @ 20 kHz).
* It is possible to start NVGate before the synchronization process is finished; NVGate interface will wait for the achievement.
* Single chain analyzers are automatically synchronized.
If the synchronization cannot achieve (ex. cabling change) you can restart the process with the '''''ReSync''''' button.

TIP: If you cannot see all analyzers on the NVGate connection window, try this: power up each analyzer one by one from the master to the last slave.

For Hardware connections, take a look at part 3.5 [[OR3X_Hardware_Instruments|here]].

==F.A.Q==

====NVGate is not able to detect my dongle but my dongle is plugged into the PC, why?====

Sentinel Driver allows NVGate to communicate with the dongle. It must be installed if you are using a dongle or another USB device.
If NVGate does not detect the dongle, it might be caused by incorrectly install sentinel drive.

First verify that the Sentinel driver is properly installed.
To check open the NVGate software folder and launch "CheckConfig.exe":

* green check mark indicates that sentinel driver has been successfully installed
* red cross mark indicates that sentinel drive has not been installed

[[File:wiki.png|400px]]

To install the Sentinel driver, go in NVGate installation folder, select “SentinelDriver_7.6.9” folder and then select “Sentinel Protection Installer 7.6.9.exe”.
Proceed with the installation.

When this window is displayed, choose Next:
[[File:1-1.png|framed|none]]

Perform a 'Modify' installation to customise your option.
Select 'Remove' if the installation is incorrect (see below for further details).
Now click Next.

[[File:2-2.png|framed|none]]

In the custom setup, choose to delete the last three options.

[[File:4.png|framed|none]]

Perform installation by clicking on Next.

[[File:3.png|framed|none]]

This last message should appear at the end :

===Batteries===
OROS Teamwork instruments contains an internal battery block particularly useful for autonomous operations (except for OR34) or in case of temporary power failure (all OROS Teamwork instruments).

The batteries of OROS Teamwork instruments are designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. To obtain the longest battery life, please follow the following advice:

* Caution: Temperature above normal room temperature will shorten battery life. If OROS Teamwork instruments is stored or shipped at more than 40°C (104°F), recharge it before running the system.
* Charge the battery in cool area. The battery is charging when an OROS Teamwork instrument is plugged to a power supply. Charge stops when the Front Panel indicates 100%.
* Caution: Never store OROS Teamwork instruments with a discharged battery.
All batteries gradually lose their charge (the higher the temperature is, the quicker the batteries lose their charge). If you store your system for a long time without using it, recharge the batteries every two or three months. This practice will extend battery life.

===Fan===
The cooling fan is used to reduce the temperature inside OROS Teamwork instruments. From the Front Panel the user can manually switch it on or switch off (for very sensitive acoustic measurements).

The fan operation will be automatically forced when the temperature inside the OROS Teamwork instruments reaches 50°C and stops at 43°C.

Warning: Do not cover the Teamwork instrument in order to let the ventilation operate properly.

===Batteries===
OROS Teamwork instruments contains an internal battery block particularly useful for autonomous operations (except for OR34) or in case of temporary power failure (all OROS Teamwork instruments).

The batteries of OROS Teamwork instruments are designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. To obtain the longest battery life, please follow the following advice:

* Caution: Temperature above normal room temperature will shorten battery life. If OROS Teamwork instruments is stored or shipped at more than 40°C (104°F), recharge it before running the system.
* Charge the battery in cool area. The battery is charging when an OROS Teamwork instrument is plugged to a power supply. Charge stops when the Front Panel indicates 100%.
* Caution: Never store OROS Teamwork instruments with a discharged battery.
All batteries gradually lose their charge (the higher the temperature is, the quicker the batteries lose their charge). If you store your system for a long time without using it, recharge the batteries every two or three months. This practice will extend battery life.

===Fan===
The cooling fan is used to reduce the temperature inside OROS Teamwork instruments. From the Front Panel the user can manually switch it on or switch off (for very sensitive acoustic measurements).

The fan operation will be automatically forced when the temperature inside the OROS Teamwork instruments reaches 50°C and stops at 43°C.

Warning: Do not cover the Teamwork instrument in order to let the ventilation operate properly.

====DC POWER SUPPLY AND POWERING ON====
O4 instrument is powered by DC power through USB 3.0 Power Delivery protocol, which can be provided through a USB computer port or external DC supply.
When the computer can power O4 (8 W) with a single cable, the LEDs on the back panel are lit as shown below:

[[File:O4_power_1.png|100px]]

=====OLD PC=====
When the computer port is not powerful enough to supply O4, this could happen with old PCs without a USB 3.0 port. Then a backup power source is required, with a maximum of 5 volts and 2 amps.
*
In case of back-up powering, please follow the instructions:
*
1. Connect the back-up power first and wait until the LED turns green

[[File:O4_power_2.png|100px]]

2. Connect the first USB port to PC and wait until the LED turns green.

[[File:O4_power_3.png|100px]]

All the connections of O4 instruments comply with SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions.

==== How to connect analyzer in cascade ? ====

The way to connect together your TW analyzer and use it as a chain is the one under.

[[Image:TW_cascade.png|thumb|100px]]

===Batteries===
OROS Teamwork instruments contains an internal battery block particularly useful for autonomous operations (except for OR34) or in case of temporary power failure (all OROS Teamwork instruments).

The batteries of OROS Teamwork instruments are designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. To obtain the longest battery life, please follow the following advice:

* Caution: Temperature above normal room temperature will shorten battery life. If OROS Teamwork instruments is stored or shipped at more than 40°C (104°F), recharge it before running the system.
* Charge the battery in cool area. The battery is charging when an OROS Teamwork instrument is plugged to a power supply. Charge stops when the Front Panel indicates 100%.
* Caution: Never store OROS Teamwork instruments with a discharged battery.
All batteries gradually lose their charge (the higher the temperature is, the quicker the batteries lose their charge). If you store your system for a long time without using it, recharge the batteries every two or three months. This practice will extend battery life.

===Fan===
The cooling fan is used to reduce the temperature inside OROS Teamwork instruments. From the Front Panel the user can manually switch it on or switch off (for very sensitive acoustic measurements).

The fan operation will be automatically forced when the temperature inside the OROS Teamwork instruments reaches 50°C and stops at 43°C.

Warning: Do not cover the Teamwork instrument in order to let the ventilation operate properly.

It is necessary to restart the computer to complete the installation of Sentinel driver. Click on "Finish".

===Connecting the analyzer to your PC===
NVGate features a dialog box dedicated to the connection and update of the analyzer(s). This dialog allows choosing between office, connected and cascaded modes.

====Connection dialog====
This dialog gathers in a unique list the office mode and the list of visible analyzers for connected mode. It is possible to select one or multiple analyzers, Teamwork instruments only, or the office mode

[[Image:Usersmanual_84.png|framed|none]]

The dialog contains multiple area and commands.

* '''''Model''''' list area shows the available analyzers and the office mode.
* '''''Details''''' '''& modifications''' area shows the information related to the highlighted analyzer and allows updating it through the hyperlinks. Analyzer may be highlighted by clicking on the corresponding row out of the selection check box.
* '''''Connection Issue notification'''''. This area appears at the bottom of the Model list when an issue blocks the start of NVGate (''Start'' button is disabled)
* '''''Refresh''' ''button rescans the network and updates model column.
* '''''Resync''''' button re-launches the clock synchronization between multiple Teamwork analyzers for cascade purposes.
* '''''Start''''' button launches NVGate with the selected model; Office, Connected, Multiple analyzers

====Visibility of analyzers====
Visible analyzers are the OROS 3-Series (V2 and V3 called ''Teamwork'') connected on the same network as the PC. The connection between the PC and the visible analyzer(s) must be on the same logical network (i.e.: A company LAN with LAN switches or cascade of ''Teamwork'' analyzers).

* Analyzers already running an NVGate session are not visible in this dialog.
* Analyzers with the same IP address are visible in this dialog. IP must be changed to different ones to allow starting NVGate on multiple analyzers.
'''''Name,''''' '''''Chain''''', and '''''Status''''' columns are periodically updated.

NB: Internet Routers are supported by ''Teamwor''k analyzers only by specifying the analyzer IP address in the command line of NVGate.

====Ethernet connection rules====
On the back panel of the analyzer:

2 Ethernet 1 Gb/S connectors for connection to PC and cascade of analyzers.

* Connect the PC to IN
* In cascade mode connect the PC to first analyzer (master) to IN. Next units are daisy chained (OUT -<nowiki>></nowiki> IN, OUT- <nowiki>></nowiki> IN, etc…) in cascaded mode.
* Cable required Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair. Use the blue cables.
2 clock synchronization connectors 100 Mb/s Ethernet

* Do not use while using a sole analyzer
* Daisy chain from Master unit to the next one in cascaded mode (OUT -<nowiki>></nowiki> IN, OUT- <nowiki>></nowiki> IN, etc…)
====Connection to the analyzer====
To connect to your analyzer, select the corresponding check box in the '''''Model''''' column. To start NVGate with the '''''Office''''' mode (Running on the PC with a dongle or the analyzer as a dongle) select the '''''Office''''' model.

The '''''Office''''' model is automatically selected if there is no visible analyzer.

In the presence of visible analyzers, NVGate will select the first connected one in the list according to the following priority:

* Firmware compatibility
* IP compatibility
* Discovery date
The '''''Start''''' button will remain disabled until the following criteria are fulfilled:

* At least one model is selected
* If it is one or plural connected one:
* The corresponding models<nowiki>’</nowiki> firmware are up to date.
* The IP address of the selected models are compatible with the PC one
NB: it is not possible to mix '''''Office''''' and '''''Connected''''' models

====Ethernet IP management====
Both PC IP and and highlighted analyzer are visible in the detail area. You can change the analyzer IP settings by clicking on the '''''analyzer IP''''' link.

[[Image:Usersmanual_85.png|framed|none]]

You can update the analyzer IP manually but the most substantial and easy way to solve IP address conflicts is to use the '''''Generate Automatically''' ''button. This method will take in account all IP addresses in the logical network to avoid any conflict; even the ones not visible from this dialog.

====DHCP server from the analyzer====
This feature allows the analyzer to provide the PC<nowiki>’</nowiki>s IP address. This is available from ''Teamwork'' analyzers only.

When a ''Teamwork'' analyzer is set as a DHCP server, it will update your PC IP address when this one is set as '''''Get automatically IP address.''''' This configuration allows immediate connection of PC configured for company network.

[[Image:Usersmanual_86.png|framed|none]]

The DHCP server of the analyzer is '''''Non-authoritative''''', this means that when the analyzer is connected to a local network it will not act when an '''''Authoritative''''' one exists.

====Firmware update====
The firmware can be updated on demand. The '''''Connection''''' dialog detects the not-up-to-date firmware. Simply click in the '''''firmware''''' link: ''Not up-to-date'' to enter the firmware update process.

[[Image:Usersmanual_87.png|500px]]

A monitoring window is opened during the update. At the end if the update is successful, the window background goes to green. In case of unsuccessful, it goes to red.

====Change analyzer name====
While using multiple analyzers together, it is useful to set easily the identification of each chassis. Click on the '''''Name''''' Link to update the highlighted analyzer identifiers.

[[Image:Usersmanual_88.png|framed|none]]

* Long name is used to identify the system in the software installation and properties dialogs
* Short names are used in NVGate settings and trace/result management.

====Connect to multiple analyzers at a time (Teamwork only)====
NVGate allows running multiple ''Teamwork instruments'' from a unique NVGate instance at a time. This allows cascaded or distributed configuration of OR36/OR38 ''Teamwork''.

The same program (NVGate.exe) and connection dialog is used. After launching NVGate you get the visible analyzer list in the connection dialog.

[[Image:Usersmanual_89.png|framed|none]]

 

The '''''Chain''''' column shows the possible analyzers combination.

* The first digit is for the chain Id.
* The second one is for the analyzer position in the said chain.
* A chain is defined by a group of consecutive daisy-chained analyzers with a clock synchronization line in between.
A unique analyzer is considered as a chain.

The '''''Status''''' column shows the synchronization status.

* '''''Synchronized''''' means the analyzers sampling clocks are in phase (<nowiki><</nowiki> ±0.2° @ 20 kHz).
* It is possible to start NVGate before the synchronization process is finished; NVGate interface will wait for the achievement.
* Single chain analyzers are automatically synchronized.
If the synchronization cannot achieve (ex. cabling change) you can restart the process with the '''''ReSync''''' button.

For Hardware connections, take a look part 3.5 [[OR3X_Hardware_Instruments|here]].

==F.A.Q==

====NVGate is not able to detect my dongle but my dongle is plugged into the PC, why?====

Sentinel Driver allows NVGate to communicate with the dongle. It must be installed if you are using a dongle or another USB device.
If NVGate does not detect the dongle, it might be caused by incorrectly install sentinel drive.

First verify that the Sentinel driver is properly installed.
To check open the NVGate software folder and launch "CheckConfig.exe":

* green check mark indicates that sentinel driver has been successfully installed
* red cross mark indicates that sentinel drive has not been installed

[[File:wiki.png|400px]]

To install the Sentinel driver, go in NVGate installation folder, select “SentinelDriver_7.6.9” folder and then select “Sentinel Protection Installer 7.6.9.exe”.
Proceed with the installation.

When this window is displayed, choose Next:
[[File:1-1.png|framed|none]]

Perform a 'Modify' installation to customise your option.
Select 'Remove' if the installation is incorrect (see below for further details).
Now click Next.

[[File:2-2.png|framed|none]]

In the custom setup, choose to delete the last three options.

[[File:4.png|framed|none]]

Perform installation by clicking on Next.

[[category:WikiOros]]
The Monitor plug-in offers simple and powerful ways to monitor the measured signals. This 4 channels plug-in runs independently from the general analyzer status (running/Paused/stopped) with the capability of swapping connected channels at any time.
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_378.png|framed|right]]
The second capability of the monitor is to extract statistical components of the signal in a specific bandwidth. Extracted levels can be used for triggering and waterfall references.

The monitor runs its analyses on a specific processor (DSP) allowing a totally independent computation for the regular analyses.

Note: Clicking on the bottom right icon ([[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_379.png]]) opens the monitor plug-in properties dialog allowing a full access to all the settings.

==Monitor==
The Monitor input can be connected and hot swapped independently of any plug-in analysis. It is used to monitor one or several signals.

==Signal available==
===Sine===
* [[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_346.png]] ''Sine:'' Opens the pure sine properties dialog for adjustment.

Used to generate and configure up to 6 fixed sinus. A sinusoidal signal is generated with the frequency specified in the sine '''Frequency''' field. The frequency corresponds to one of the analysis bands. This type of signal is used for measuring the amount of distortion in a system for example. The amplitude of the signal can be changed using the '''Level''' settings.
[[Image:Resources_output_02.png|framed|none]]

'''Frequency''': sine frequency. '''Tips: put 0 for DC Volatge generation.'''

* '''Peak level''': the peak level
* '''RMS level''': sine RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.

'''Note:''' Amplitude and frequency modifications are applied immediately without any transition.

[[Image:Resources_output_03.png|framed|none]]

===Multi-sine===
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_347.png]]: Multi-sine: Opens the ''Multi-sine'' properties dialog for adjustment.

Multisine is computed by adding sine signals whose frequencies are power of two sub-modules of sampling frequency. This means that multisine output block includes all discrete sine waves of FFT spectrum of corresponding block size and resolution. Multisine has the advantage of showing no leakage effect in FFT as all sine waves are exact periods of the trigger block for FFT computation. The most appropriate FFT weighting window to be used is “uniform” window. Multisine generators work on a sample block basis, it means signal blocks are repeated identically over time.

Used to generate and configure up to 2 multi-sines. The multi-sine is computed by adding sine signals whose frequencies are power of two sub-modules of sampling frequency. So with the FFT analyzer, each sine signal can be exactly at an analysis frequency line and there is no leakage due to analysis window. Due to its specific structure, using a rectangular analysis window for FFT analysis on a multi-sine excitation is recommended.

The phase between sine signals can be controlled in order to get a low crest factor or randomized, but with a higher crest factor.

Multi-sine is periodic with a period equal to the opposite of its frequency resolution.

[[Image:Resources_output_04.png|framed|none]]

* '''Lower frequency''': the lower frequency of the multi-sine frequency range. Its minimum value is the resolution.
* '''Upper frequency''': the upper frequency of the multi-sine frequency range. Its maximum value is SF / 2.56, where SF is the sampling frequency.
* '''RMS level''': multi-sine RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.
* '''Resolution''': the resolution of the multi-sine. Its minimum value is SF / 16384, where SF is the sampling frequency. Its maximum value is SF / 256.
* '''Phase''': Computational mode of the original sinusoid phases.

{|class="wikitable" style="background:white" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" align="center"
|'''Phase'''
|'''Description'''

|-
|Random 
|The original phase of each sinusoid is selected randomly after each multi sine deactivation/activation. First activation: 
[[Image:Resources_output_05.png|framed|none]]
 After reactivation: 
[[Image:Resources_output_06.png|framed|none]]
Phase relationship between sine waves is selected at selection of setting and will not change unless “random” setting is changed back and forward. After “random” is selected phase relationship is defined (randomly for the first block) and repeated identically for each signal block of N lines. Phase relationship for all multisine generators will be different as random setting activation is made at different moment in time and applied for different generator objects. Two blocks of multisine random phase of the same generator are 100% correlated.
Two mulitsine random phase generators are not correlated.
 

|-
|Fixed 
|Each sinusoid has the same original phase even after multi sine deactivation/activation. 
[[Image:Resources_output_07.png|framed|none]]
Multisine phase relation if fixed and will be the same each time setting “fixed” is selected.
Phase relationship is the same for all multisine generators meaning that signal blocks will be the identical between any multisine generators of the same setting. Multisine fixed phase generators are 100% correlated.
 

|} 

'''Burst setting''' in Multisine generators will shorten the time during which the output signal is active despite the signal block being of the same length.
All bandwidth frequencies are present in each burst but may not be complete cycles as block period is truncated. Two bursts being identical (respectively fixed or random phase) they are 100% correlated. Two random bursts from two separate generators will not be correlated signals.

===Random noise===
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_350.png]]Random Noise: Opens the ''Random noise'' properties dialog for adjustment. Adapted for non linear responses measurement. 

Used to generate and configure up to 2 white or pink random noise types.

Signal block is recalculated each time. All frequencies of generator bandwidth are taken into account with a resolution of Fs/16384 (Fs being front end sampling frequency), this resolution is independent from FFT resolution. Consequently signal content of each FFT trigger block is not the same meaning that signals between two trigger blocks are not correlated. Similarly random noise signal between two separate generators are also not correlated.

[[Image:Resources_output_08.png|framed|none]]

Random noise is generated using algorithms that guarantee no short or long-term periodicity.

* '''Lower frequency''': the lower frequency of the Random noise frequency range. Its minimum value is equal to SF / (2.56 * 6400), where SF is the sampling frequency and 6400 <nowiki>+</nowiki> 1 is the resolution.
* '''Upper frequency''': the upper frequency of the Random noise frequency range. Its maximum value is SF / 2.56, where SF is the sampling frequency.
* '''RMS level''': the Random noise RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.
* '''Period''': The period selected for the Random noise. It used to define a Random Block. Its maximum value is 100s.
* '''Burst''': This setting lets the user specify the percentage of non-null signal in a random block.

'''Exemple''' with: burst: 60% - period: 100ms :

[[Image:Resources_output_09.png|framed|none]]

* '''Type''':

{|class="wikitable" style="background:white" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="92%" align="center"
|'''Type'''
|'''Description'''

|-
|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise White]
|White noise has the same distribution of power for all frequencies, so there is the same amount of power between 0 and 500 Hz, 500 and 1,000 Hz or 20,000 and 20,500 Hz.

|-
|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_noise Pink]
|Pink noise has the same distribution of power for each octave, so the power between 0.5 Hz and 1 Hz is the same as between 5,000 Hz and 10,000 Hz. Since power is proportional to amplitude squared, the energy per Hz will decline at higher frequencies at the rate of -10dB/decade.

|} 

===Chirp===
Chirp means continuous short term variable frequency (1 analysis block), 1 amplitude. Adapted for damping measurement and FFT analysis. 

[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_349.png]] Chirp: Opens the ''Chirp'' properties dialog for adjustment. 

Used to generate and configure up to 6 chirps. A sine signal, of which the frequency varies from '''Lower Frequency''' to '''Upper Frequency''', is generated in the delay corresponding to the size of a generator block.

[[Image:Resources_output_10.png|framed|none]]

* '''Lower frequency''': the lower frequency of the Random noise frequency range. Its minimum value is equal to SF / (2.56 * 6400), where SF is the sampling frequency and 6400 <nowiki>+</nowiki> 1 is the resolution.
* '''Upper frequency''': the upper frequency of the chirp frequency range. Its maximum value is SF / 2.56, where SF is the sampling frequency.
* '''RMS level''': the chirp RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.
* '''Size''': This setting specifies the number of samples required for the generator to go from the lower frequency to the upper one.

[[Image:Resources_output_11.png|framed|none]]

===Advanced sine===
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_348.png]] Swept-sine: Opens the ''Swept-sine'' properties dialog for adjustment.

Used to generate and configure up to 6 advanced sines, allowing the user to generate a swept sine, a pure tone, or to sweep step-by-step.

[[Image:Resources_output_12.png|framed|none]]

* '''Gain''': Each advanced sine has a gain setting with a 0dB reference that is the value of the ''Advanced sine settings/ Peak level setting''
* '''Phase offset''': All the advanced sine have the same phase reference. This setting is used to set a phase offset between them.
====Advanced sine settings====
This sub-module contains the settings related to the main advanced sine generator, including the advanced sine mode setting, stabilization time, amplitude variation...

* '''Mode''':

{|class="wikitable" style="background:white" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="91%" align="center"
|'''Mode'''
|'''Description'''

|-
|Sweep: 
[[Image:Resources_output_13.png|framed|none]]

|The advanced sine performs a continuous sweep of the frequencies between Start Frequency and Stop Frequency 

|-
|Step: 
[[Image:Resources_output_14.png|framed|none]]

|The advanced sine performs a sweep of the frequencies between Start Frequency and Stop Frequency, it stops at each step, waits during stabilization time, and waits for the new step event before going on.

|-
|Pure tone: 
[[Image:Resources_output_15.png|framed|none]]

|The advanced sine generates a pure sine with the frequency of the ''Advanced sine settings/ Target Frequency ''value

|} 

* '''Synchronization''': "linked to run" or "Free run". The Advanced sine generator will not be stopped by a stop event, if the setting is on <nowiki>’</nowiki>Free run<nowiki>’</nowiki>. The default value is <nowiki>’</nowiki>Linked to run<nowiki>’</nowiki>.

If you change the amplitude or the frequency of the generated signal, there will be a stabilization time, and you will have to generate an event when the signal is stabilized.

In these 3 modes, each time the generator stops on a frequency;

1. At the beginning (amplitude increase until the first frequency),

2. At a new step (at the end of stabilization time), or in <nowiki>’</nowiki>pure tone<nowiki>’</nowiki> or <nowiki>’</nowiki>swept sine<nowiki>’</nowiki> pause mode when it reaches the target frequency; the generator sends a stabilized event, after being stabilized (amplitude and frequency).

3. In <nowiki>’</nowiki>Free run<nowiki>’</nowiki>, if the generator is already stabilized at the run event, then a stabilized event is generated at this moment.

If the output is on <nowiki>’</nowiki>Advanced sine<nowiki>’</nowiki> source, the setting of <nowiki>’</nowiki>Synchronization<nowiki>’</nowiki> of the advanced sine will recopied to the <nowiki>’</nowiki>synchronization<nowiki>’</nowiki> of the output (which one become fixed).

==Listening track==
There are 3 ways to listen track:
====Input: listen during measurement====
Back to the roots of vibration analysis: Everybody knows that our ears and brain is the best instrument to feel and interpret vibration signals. This is also why we take so much care in removing these NVH signals from our machines, vehicles and appliances. The audio playback of vibration (or any other) signal allows the user to "listen in" on what your OROS analyzer is "hearing".

Connect input feature allows a user to play input channels on an output. This allows the user to listen during measurement with an headphone on the output.

====Monitor channels : Hot Swap ====

NVgate uses the monitor hot swap capability to allow changing the replicated signal during acquisition/recording.

The NVGate synopsis is as follows:

[[Image:Release_note_20.png|700px|none]]

To activate it, simply connect one of the monitor ''Channels'' to the desired output from the ''Acquisition/Outputs/Signal'' dialog.

[[Image:Release_note_21.png|framed|none]]

Then you can add any front-end input to the monitor channel. The selected input signal will replicate (play) on the output. You can swap from one input to another at any time including during the run and signal recording.

NB: Remember to switch the output impedance to 600 Ω for better listening quality.

====Play-Back on PC speaker====
If you need to listen a signal already recorded, do not use an output channel. We advice to use the playback on PC speaker defined here:
From any of the previous configurations, the recorded signal can be listened to on PC speakers.
[[File:Player_playback.png|none]]

Click on [[Image:Player_connection_wizard_06.png]] in the active window. The button stops the play back at any time. A mobile cursor (blue) localizes the played back signal part in the signal window.

==Create and play ANY signal==

You can play a signal already recorded with an OROS analyzer, or any signal imported into NVgate.
You can put the signal in the player (even in connected mode) allowing the signal to be played on an ouptut channel.

====Example : playing a triangle signal on analyzer output ====

• Generate a triangular signal with an application ([https://fr.mathworks.com/?requestedDomain= Matlab],…) or an online site (example: http://onlinetonegenerator.com/); 

• Save this signal in .wav; 

• In NVGate, import this signal (File / Import / Files / OR2X Signal (* .wav, .mat, .UFF...); 

• Load this signal in the player (right click then "load in player"); 

• In the options proposed in output, select the channel coming from the player:
[[File:player_out.png|framed|none]]
•If you want to play this signal repeatedly, you must change the "Repeat mode" parameter in "Analyzer Setting Browser":

==Signal available==
===Sine===
* [[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_346.png]] ''Sine:'' Opens the pure sine properties dialog for adjustment.

Used to generate and configure up to 6 fixed sinus. A sinusoidal signal is generated with the frequency specified in the sine '''Frequency''' field. The frequency corresponds to one of the analysis bands. This type of signal is used for measuring the amount of distortion in a system for example. The amplitude of the signal can be changed using the '''Level''' settings.
[[Image:Resources_output_02.png|framed|none]]

'''Frequency''': sine frequency. '''Tips: put 0 for DC Volatge generation.'''

* '''Peak level''': the peak level
* '''RMS level''': sine RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.

'''Note:''' Amplitude and frequency modifications are applied immediately without any transition.

[[Image:Resources_output_03.png|framed|none]]

===Multi-sine===
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_347.png]]: Multi-sine: Opens the ''Multi-sine'' properties dialog for adjustment.

Multisine is computed by adding sine signals whose frequencies are power of two sub-modules of sampling frequency. This means that multisine output block includes all discrete sine waves of FFT spectrum of corresponding block size and resolution. Multisine has the advantage of showing no leakage effect in FFT as all sine waves are exact periods of the trigger block for FFT computation. The most appropriate FFT weighting window to be used is “uniform” window. Multisine generators work on a sample block basis, it means signal blocks are repeated identically over time.

Used to generate and configure up to 2 multi-sines. The multi-sine is computed by adding sine signals whose frequencies are power of two sub-modules of sampling frequency. So with the FFT analyzer, each sine signal can be exactly at an analysis frequency line and there is no leakage due to analysis window. Due to its specific structure, using a rectangular analysis window for FFT analysis on a multi-sine excitation is recommended.

The phase between sine signals can be controlled in order to get a low crest factor or randomized, but with a higher crest factor.

Multi-sine is periodic with a period equal to the opposite of its frequency resolution.

[[Image:Resources_output_04.png|framed|none]]

* '''Lower frequency''': the lower frequency of the multi-sine frequency range. Its minimum value is the resolution.
* '''Upper frequency''': the upper frequency of the multi-sine frequency range. Its maximum value is SF / 2.56, where SF is the sampling frequency.
* '''RMS level''': multi-sine RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.
* '''Resolution''': the resolution of the multi-sine. Its minimum value is SF / 16384, where SF is the sampling frequency. Its maximum value is SF / 256.
* '''Phase''': Computational mode of the original sinusoid phases.

{|class="wikitable" style="background:white" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" align="center"
|'''Phase'''
|'''Description'''

|-
|Random 
|The original phase of each sinusoid is selected randomly after each multi sine deactivation/activation. First activation: 
[[Image:Resources_output_05.png|framed|none]]
 After reactivation: 
[[Image:Resources_output_06.png|framed|none]]
Phase relationship between sine waves is selected at selection of setting and will not change unless “random” setting is changed back and forward. After “random” is selected phase relationship is defined (randomly for the first block) and repeated identically for each signal block of N lines. Phase relationship for all multisine generators will be different as random setting activation is made at different moment in time and applied for different generator objects. Two blocks of multisine random phase of the same generator are 100% correlated.
Two mulitsine random phase generators are not correlated.
 

|-
|Fixed 
|Each sinusoid has the same original phase even after multi sine deactivation/activation. 
[[Image:Resources_output_07.png|framed|none]]
Multisine phase relation if fixed and will be the same each time setting “fixed” is selected.
Phase relationship is the same for all multisine generators meaning that signal blocks will be the identical between any multisine generators of the same setting. Multisine fixed phase generators are 100% correlated.
 

|} 

'''Burst setting''' in Multisine generators will shorten the time during which the output signal is active despite the signal block being of the same length.
All bandwidth frequencies are present in each burst but may not be complete cycles as block period is truncated. Two bursts being identical (respectively fixed or random phase) they are 100% correlated. Two random bursts from two separate generators will not be correlated signals.

===Random noise===
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_350.png]]Random Noise: Opens the ''Random noise'' properties dialog for adjustment. Adapted for non linear responses measurement. 

Used to generate and configure up to 2 white or pink random noise types.

Signal block is recalculated each time. All frequencies of generator bandwidth are taken into account with a resolution of Fs/16384 (Fs being front end sampling frequency), this resolution is independent from FFT resolution. Consequently signal content of each FFT trigger block is not the same meaning that signals between two trigger blocks are not correlated. Similarly random noise signal between two separate generators are also not correlated.

[[Image:Resources_output_08.png|framed|none]]

Random noise is generated using algorithms that guarantee no short or long-term periodicity.

* '''Lower frequency''': the lower frequency of the Random noise frequency range. Its minimum value is equal to SF / (2.56 * 6400), where SF is the sampling frequency and 6400 <nowiki>+</nowiki> 1 is the resolution.
* '''Upper frequency''': the upper frequency of the Random noise frequency range. Its maximum value is SF / 2.56, where SF is the sampling frequency.
* '''RMS level''': the Random noise RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.
* '''Period''': The period selected for the Random noise. It used to define a Random Block. Its maximum value is 100s.
* '''Burst''': This setting lets the user specify the percentage of non-null signal in a random block.

'''Exemple''' with: burst: 60% - period: 100ms :

[[Image:Resources_output_09.png|framed|none]]

* '''Type''':

{|class="wikitable" style="background:white" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="92%" align="center"
|'''Type'''
|'''Description'''

|-
|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise White]
|White noise has the same distribution of power for all frequencies, so there is the same amount of power between 0 and 500 Hz, 500 and 1,000 Hz or 20,000 and 20,500 Hz.

|-
|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_noise Pink]
|Pink noise has the same distribution of power for each octave, so the power between 0.5 Hz and 1 Hz is the same as between 5,000 Hz and 10,000 Hz. Since power is proportional to amplitude squared, the energy per Hz will decline at higher frequencies at the rate of -10dB/decade.

===Chirp===
Chirp means continuous short term variable frequency (1 analysis block), 1 amplitude. Adapted for damping measurement and FFT analysis. 

[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_349.png]] Chirp: Opens the ''Chirp'' properties dialog for adjustment. 

Used to generate and configure up to 6 chirps. A sine signal, of which the frequency varies from '''Lower Frequency''' to '''Upper Frequency''', is generated in the delay corresponding to the size of a generator block.

[[Image:Resources_output_10.png|framed|none]]

* '''Lower frequency''': the lower frequency of the Random noise frequency range. Its minimum value is equal to SF / (2.56 * 6400), where SF is the sampling frequency and 6400 <nowiki>+</nowiki> 1 is the resolution.
* '''Upper frequency''': the upper frequency of the chirp frequency range. Its maximum value is SF / 2.56, where SF is the sampling frequency.
* '''RMS level''': the chirp RMS level. This setting can be displayed in dB.
* '''Size''': This setting specifies the number of samples required for the generator to go from the lower frequency to the upper one.

[[Image:Resources_output_11.png|framed|none]]

===Advanced sine===
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_348.png]] Swept-sine: Opens the ''Swept-sine'' properties dialog for adjustment.

Used to generate and configure up to 6 advanced sines, allowing the user to generate a swept sine, a pure tone, or to sweep step-by-step.

[[Image:Resources_output_12.png|framed|none]]

* '''Gain''': Each advanced sine has a gain setting with a 0dB reference that is the value of the ''Advanced sine settings/ Peak level setting''
* '''Phase offset''': All the advanced sine have the same phase reference. This setting is used to set a phase offset between them.
====Advanced sine settings====
This sub-module contains the settings related to the main advanced sine generator, including the advanced sine mode setting, stabilization time, amplitude variation...

* '''Mode''':

{|class="wikitable" style="background:white" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="91%" align="center"
|'''Mode'''
|'''Description'''

|-
|Sweep: 
[[Image:Resources_output_13.png|framed|none]]

|The advanced sine performs a continuous sweep of the frequencies between Start Frequency and Stop Frequency 

|-
|Step: 
[[Image:Resources_output_14.png|framed|none]]

|The advanced sine performs a sweep of the frequencies between Start Frequency and Stop Frequency, it stops at each step, waits during stabilization time, and waits for the new step event before going on.

|-
|Pure tone: 
[[Image:Resources_output_15.png|framed|none]]

|The advanced sine generates a pure sine with the frequency of the ''Advanced sine settings/ Target Frequency ''value

|} 

* '''Synchronization''': "linked to run" or "Free run". The Advanced sine generator will not be stopped by a stop event, if the setting is on <nowiki>’</nowiki>Free run<nowiki>’</nowiki>. The default value is <nowiki>’</nowiki>Linked to run<nowiki>’</nowiki>.

If you change the amplitude or the frequency of the generated signal, there will be a stabilization time, and you will have to generate an event when the signal is stabilized.

In these 3 modes, each time the generator stops on a frequency;

1. At the beginning (amplitude increase until the first frequency),

2. At a new step (at the end of stabilization time), or in <nowiki>’</nowiki>pure tone<nowiki>’</nowiki> or <nowiki>’</nowiki>swept sine<nowiki>’</nowiki> pause mode when it reaches the target frequency; the generator sends a stabilized event, after being stabilized (amplitude and frequency).

3. In <nowiki>’</nowiki>Free run<nowiki>’</nowiki>, if the generator is already stabilized at the run event, then a stabilized event is generated at this moment.

If the output is on <nowiki>’</nowiki>Advanced sine<nowiki>’</nowiki> source, the setting of <nowiki>’</nowiki>Synchronization<nowiki>’</nowiki> of the advanced sine will recopied to the <nowiki>’</nowiki>synchronization<nowiki>’</nowiki> of the output (which one become fixed).

* '''On''': start the synch clock generation (0 / <nowiki>+</nowiki>2 V square @ 50 Hz)
* '''Off''': stop the synch clock generation followed by a -2V step during 1 sec.

Track assembly procedure.

1. Activate the synch signal

2. Select ''Front-end / Output 1 / source = Synchro''

3. Set'' Front-end / ext synch / coupling = DC ''on each recording unit

4. Set'' Front-end / ext synch / threshold = 1 V ''on each recording unit

5. Set'' Recorder/trigger/start = ext synch ''on each recording unit

6. Add ext. sync track to the recorder on each unit

7. Set same recording duration on each unit

8. Run each unit

9. Set'' generator mode = on ''to start record

==Listening track==
There are 3 ways to listen track:
====Input: listen during measurement====
Back to the roots of vibration analysis: Everybody knows that our ears and brain is the best instrument to feel and interpret vibration signals. This is also why we take so much care in removing these NVH signals from our machines, vehicles and appliances. The audio playback of vibration (or any other) signal allows the user to "listen in" on what your OROS analyzer is "hearing".

Connect input feature allows a user to play input channels on an output. This allows the user to listen during measurement with an headphone on the output.

====Monitor channels : Hot Swap ====

NVgate uses the monitor hot swap capability to allow changing the replicated signal during acquisition/recording.

The NVGate synopsis is as follows:

[[Image:Release_note_20.png|700px|none]]

To activate it, simply connect one of the monitor ''Channels'' to the desired output from the ''Acquisition/Outputs/Signal'' dialog.

[[Image:Release_note_21.png|framed|none]]

Then you can add any front-end input to the monitor channel. The selected input signal will replicate (play) on the output. You can swap from one input to another at any time including during the run and signal recording.

NB: Remember to switch the output impedance to 600 Ω for better listening quality.

====Play-Back on PC speaker====
If you need to listen a signal already recorded, do not use an output channel. We advice to use the playback on PC speaker defined here:
From any of the previous configurations, the recorded signal can be listened to on PC speakers.
[[File:Player_playback.png|none]]

Click on [[Image:Player_connection_wizard_06.png]] in the active window. The button stops the play back at any time. A mobile cursor (blue) localizes the played back signal part in the signal window.

==Create and play ANY signal==

You can play a signal already recorded with an OROS analyzer, or any signal imported into NVgate.
You can put the signal in the player (even in connected mode) allowing the signal to be played on an ouptut channel.

====Example : playing a triangle signal on analyzer output ====

• Generate a triangular signal with an application ([https://fr.mathworks.com/?requestedDomain= Matlab],…) or an online site (example: http://onlinetonegenerator.com/); 

• Save this signal in .wav; 

• In NVGate, import this signal (File / Import / Files / OR2X Signal (* .wav, .mat, .UFF...); 

• Load this signal in the player (right click then "load in player"); 

• In the options proposed in output, select the channel coming from the player:

•If you want to play this signal repeatedly, you must change the "Repeat mode" parameter in "Analyzer Setting Browser":
