Description

The snapshots feature facilitates the buffering of signal data over a limited period of time. The name “Snapshot” refers to this limited time period (given in seconds). One or more snapshots can be made repeatedly as often as needed in a configurable interval (given in minutes).

If you have a corresponding license, the feature is available in the I/O Manager in the Analytics tab.

Below the main node Snapshots, you can configure any number of snapshots. For each snapshot you have to create a snapshot module, which determines the properties of the snapshot like duration and interval by profiles.

With each snapshot the buffered data is available for subsequent computations performed by suitable modules. After the finalization of the computations, the results and - if requested - the buffered data will be written to a data file.

The computations and writing of the data file are executed asynchronously, meaning that the recording of other signal data is not hindered by possibly long computation times of snapshot modules.

Available modules

The following modules can be used together with the snapshot feature:

  • Computation module: Like for the standard computation module you can configure computations in profiles which are then applied to the buffered data in the snapshot. Profiles, which already have been configured for standard computation modules may be used for snapshot computation modules too and vice versa.

  • InSpectra Expert module: When using this module you have all the ibaInSpectra functions at hand in order to apply vibration analyses to the buffered data in the snapshot.
