Better Than a Stethoscope: In the past, a long screwdriver, a clipboard and practical experience were the only tools available to perform vibration analysis. The stethoscope technique, although crude, was used by the vibration expert to compare the subject aircraft noises with those from previously known problems. All historical information was stored in the vibration expert's head with no record of analysis results.

With MicroBase, data collected by the MicroVib Aircraft Analyzer can be unloaded into a MicroBase equipped personal computer. Once stored, this data can be used for a variety of purposes, from simple comparisons all the way to forming a sophisticated predictive maintenance system for aircraft.

Data Identification: Each data record is stored in the main database and tagged with a variety of useful information including: Aircraft ID and Model, Component ID and hours, Description and Date. Making data sorting and selection powerful and easy. To add additional flexibility, the MicroBase System also provides a unique, user configurable memo text field for each stored data item which can be updated by the user at any time.

Balance History Records: Both Rotary and Fixed-Wing operators will appreciate the MicroBase System's ability to save each aircraft balance history record for later evaluation and comparison with others. Balance History records contain vibration levels, adjustments made, aircraft response and a wealth of other valuable information .

Additionally, ride quality data can be collected and unloaded into the MicroBase System to record balance performance.

Engine Analysis: MicroBase is particularly suited to analysis of engine vibration data, both turbine and reciprocating. Comparison of past and present vibration data only takes a couple of keystrokes. Collected data can easily be compared against manufacturer vibration specifications and hard copy reports are easily produced to document engine health.

No Complicated Setup: MicroBase installation takes only minutes and data can be unloaded from the MicroVib I or MicroVib II Aircraft Analyzer immediately, without the need for complicated route setup.

Detailed Balance and Data Display: Complete Balance History information is displayed in a tabular data and/or graphic polar display. The MicroBase data display window provides sharp graphic presentation of the vibration data under analysis. Spectrum data is displayed with full cursor and scale control and includes an automatic listing of the most significant vibration peaks. Important data types supported are Overall, Waveform, True RMS, True Peak, Peak/Phase and DC Scan.

Quickly Print Results: Results of the data analysis can be printed in a variety of report formats. Virtually all printers are supported through the Windows printer interface.

Modern User Interface: Unlike older systems, MicroBase uses a brand-new, state-of-the-art user interface which makes system operation simple and intuitive.

Aircraft Data Import And Export: MicroBase supports vibration data export to and import to and from disk files in a variety of data formats. With just a couple of clicks, data items which have been stored in the main database may be exported in a variety of data formats for use in other MicroBase systems and third party application programs such as Spreadsheets, Word Processors and other Database programs.

MicroBase to MicroBase: One of the new export file formats is intended for importation into other MicroBase systems. This type of data file may contain more than one MicroBase data item allowing easy transfer of a group of related data items from one MicroBase System to another.

MicroBase to Application: Two new data file formats contain data represented by ASCII text and are used to import information into word processors, spreadsheet and database programs.

Windows Clipboard Support: The Clipboard provides temporary storage for information you want to transfer between applications and MicroBase now fully supports this powerful feature of the Windows operating system.

You can use the Cut, Copy or Copy Data functions to place information from the MicroBase System onto the Windows Clipboard. From the Clipboard, you can use the Paste function to place information from the Clipboard into other applications such as spreadsheets, word processors, database programs or even another MicroBase System.

Many Data Formats Supported: Data placed on the Clipboard by MicroBase is available to other applications in a variety of data formats. For instance, clicking on the Edit/Copy menu item will place the current item on the Clipboard using bitmap and metafile (picture) formats for easy graphics importation into word processors. Clicking on the Edit/Copy Data will place the item on the Clipboard using a simple text/data format for importation into a spreadsheet or database program.

Threshold Alarm Levels: MicroBase supports plotted Threshold Alarms. Threshold alarms provide a quick visual clue of the seriousness of a vibration level and can be used to identify important vibration peaks which have exceeded maximum levels.

Polar plot Threshold Alarms appear as a small red circle. Spectrum and waveform plots are shown as horizontal line(s). Threshold Alarms appear on printouts as a dashed line. The Threshold Alarm also controls the number of individual spectrum peaks displayed in the Spectrum Peaks list box and the Print Peaks function.

Compatibility: MicroBase is fully compatible with all popular (and some less popular) versions of Windows including:

  • Windows v3.1x and Windows for Workgroups v3.11

  • Windows 95/98/98se/ME

  • Windows NT/2000/XP.

 
 

Best Price: Unlike other systems, the MicroBase System is priced to be easily affordable by the MicroVib Analyzer owner.
