The following table lists the types of viewers you can add to the Data Viewer page workspace, the sensors they support, and requirements for configuring the assets to which the sensors are mapped.
| Viewer | Supported Sensors | Configuration Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Trend | All sensor types. | Static sensors such as digital inputs and temperature sensors do not produce waveform data and therefore support only the Trend viewer. |
| Waveform | Any sensors that acquire waveform data, such as acceleration. | None |
| Spectrum | Vibration sensors that acquire waveform data, such as acceleration. | None |
| Waterfall | ||
| Envelope Spectrum | ||
| Envelope Waveform | ||
| TSA Spectrum | ||
| TSA Waveform | ||
| Auto-Correlated Waveform | ||
| Auto-Correlated Spectrum | ||
| Order Spectrum | Vibration sensors that acquire waveform data, such as acceleration. | Assign the sensors to a data group with a tachometer as the speed reference. |
| Order Waveform | ||
| Full Spectrum | Pairs of displacement sensors that acquire waveforms from orthogonal probes.1 | Configure the following settings on the Properties tab of the Asset Configuration page:
|
| Orbit | ||
| Table | All sensor types. | None |
| Bode | Sensors with both 1x Phase and 1x Magnitude or 2x Phase and 2x Magnitude features. | The data group to which these sensors are assigned must specify a tachometer as the speed reference. You can configure the Speed Reference property for the asset on the Properties tab of the Asset Configuration page. |
| Polar | ||
| Shaft Centerline | Pairs of sensors connected to orthogonal probes.1, 2 | Assets must have gap features. |
| MCSA Spectrum | This content is unavailable because the NI InsightCM Motor Current Signature Analysis Toolkit is not installed on the server machine. Motor current sensors and virtual motor sensors that NI Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) devices support. |
None |
| MCSA Torque Waveform | This content is unavailable because the NI InsightCM Motor Current Signature Analysis Toolkit is not installed on the server machine. Virtual motor sensors that NI Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) devices support. |
None |
| EMSA Spectrum | This content is unavailable because the NI InsightCM Electromagnetic Signature Analysis Toolkit is not installed on the server machine. High frequency current transformer (HFCT). |
None |
| EMSA Waterfall | ||
| Thermal Imaging | This content is unavailable because the NI InsightCM Thermal Imaging Toolkit is not installed on the server machine. Cameras that NI Thermal Imaging (IR) devices support. |
None |
| 1 The actual angle between orthogonal probes does not need to be exactly 90 degrees. Angles of 80-100 degrees are typically acceptable. 2 While not required, National Instruments recommends you configure the bearing-clearance properties for orbit and Shaft Centerline viewers in the Properties tab of the Asset Configuration page. |

Configuring Default Options for Viewers
Expand the navigation menu 
and select Options. You can use the resulting dialog box to modify default options for waveform, spectrum, orbit, waterfall, and Table viewers.
