Introduction

About This Manual

This manual introduces you to the CMVA65 Microlog

system. It offers a complete and detailed reference to each

Microlog menu, data screen, and data screen option. This

information is essential when setting up the CMVA65

Microlog and when using the Microlog to collect and

display machinery data.

As you use this manual, you'll discover certain conventions

used:

Bold type is used to indicate text that appears in a

Microlog menu or data screen. Italics are used to

emphasize important information.

¾ - are used to indicate notes to the reader.

Step-by-step procedures are sequenced using bullets,

•.

¾ The CMVA65 Microlog may be

configured for either English or Metric

units of measurement. In this manual, all

Microlog setup and display screens

appear with English units.

Chapter Overview

This manual's chapters are organized to help the new

Microlog user quickly set up the Microlog for measuring

specific applications, and to quickly reference the

Microlog's menus, data screens, and options. A chapter

overview follows:
