Owning Palette: Machine Vibration VIs

Installed With: Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite

Buffers shaft centerline plot data according to different buffer modes. This VI requires continuous input data. The buffered data might have gaps between or overlap with previous buffers. Do not use the buffered data for limit testing or data logging.

	reset? specifies the initialization of the internal states. The first time this VI runs, or when reset? is TRUE, the internal states initialize to zero. If reset? is FALSE, this VI sets the internal states to the final states from the previous call to the VI. The default is FALSE.
	buffer mode specifies the mode to buffer the input shaft centerline plot data. 0 Infinite length—Specifies to buffer the input shaft centerline plot signals from the first block to the current block. 1 Last block data—(Default) Specifies to buffer the input shaft centerline plot signals for the current block. 2 Custom—Specifies to buffer the input shaft centerline plot signals according to the value you specify in buffer size.
	shaft centerline in specifies the input shaft centerline plot data. attribute specifies additional information about the input shaft centerline plot data. LabVIEW uses this information to display the data properly and to perform extended measurements. probe x specifies the DC gap value of the probe x. probe y specifies the DC gap value of the probe y. reference specifies the DC gap reference of the input shaft centerline plot data.
	buffer size (samples) specifies the maximum number of samples to buffer for display. Use buffer size when you set buffer mode to Custom.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use exception control to treat what is normally an error as no error or to treat a warning as an error. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	shaft centerline out returns the buffered shaft centerline plot data. attribute returns additional information about the buffered shaft centerline plot data. LabVIEW uses this information to display the data properly and to perform extended measurements. probe x returns the buffered DC gap value of the probe x. probe y returns the buffered DC gap value of the probe y. reference returns the DC gap reference of the buffered shaft centerline plot data.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
