  • Available in single user or network version.

Data Management

An asset database is your condition monitoring roadmap. Our seven-level, tree structured hierarchy, gives data collection personnel exact directions to navigate to every measurement point. Multiple data folders give unprecedented organization to even the most complex factory layout. Organizing your condition monitoring program has never been easier with UAS2.

  • Hierarchical tree structure type, outlined in seven levels
  • Tree structures regrouped in data folders
  • Unlimited number of tree structures and data folders
  • Copy, Paste, Rename, Drag-and-Drop edit functions
  • Expand/Collapse of any level node
  • User login with individual right definition as Administrator, Writer, Reader
  • Third party data access with any SQL query tool

Dashboards

Dashboards bring essential information into focus. UAS2 uses powerful widgets that report, in a single view, operational changes. Widgets include:

The Static Trend
Build your trend directly from the measurement matrix by clicking on the condition indicators you want to see. Overlay Acceleration, Velocity, Ultrasound RMS, Peak, Crest Factor, and Temperature for direct defect correlations and comparisons.

The Time Waveform
UAS2 adds powerful levels of control and functionality. A new timeline bar drills down to the millisecond of any measurement sample. Then, use the Sample Disposal icon to remove unwanted portions of the signal. Once deleted, UAS2 does a smart recalculation of the condition indicators. No other software allows you the flexibility to remove bad data and recalculate in the comfort of your office chair.

A new playback cursor travels in step with the signal allowing analysts to follow every click, pop, crackle, squeak, and rub. UAS2 automatically labels the 10 highest impact points of the signal.

The Spectrum
The 2nd generation of UAS features a new and innovative algorithm for ultrasound signal processing. We can say, with full confidence, there is nothing else like this in the market. The Ultrasound Envelope Power Spectrum (UEPS) displays the source defect frequencies. UEPS displays the primary and harmonic frequencies of any machinery defect.

What this means for ultrasound analysts

  • root failure cause and failure evolution effects beautifully present themselves in the FFT view. Fault patterns leap of the computer screen and copy/paste easily into asset report documents.
  • UEPS is the perfect tool for diagnosing defects in rotating machines, bearings, gear mesh, reciprocating valves, partial discharge, steam traps, valves, and more

UAS2’s spectrum diagnostic capabilities make it the best platform integrating ultrasound and vibration predictive analysis. Want a global view of your asset health? Look no further than UAS2.

Measurement Matrix

The Measurement Matrix is a critical element of the UAS2 Dashboard. Use the Matrix to see a snapshot summary of measurement types per asset, or summary of the last four recorded measurements by type. With your SDT270, the matrix measurement list can include:

  • Static Ultrasound - RMS, Max RMS, Peak, Crest Factor
  • Dynamic Ultrasound
  • Vibration - Acceleration, Velocity
  • Temperature - C/F
  • RPM

Both Matrix summaries emulate the Green/Yellow/Red alarm codes to immediately direct your attention to the assets that need the fastest attention. The Ultranalysis2 Measurement Matrix simplifies and accelerates the user interface experience.

Analytics

Static Trend

UAS2 delivers a new level of analytical power for ultrasound professionals. Data on the trend graph is populated directly from the Measurement Matrix for a truly exceptional point and click experience. Overlay any static data resident in the same tree structure for direct asset comparisons. Choose from three graph sizes:

  • Widget Scale (Quarter pane)
  • Normal Scale (Full pane)
  • Max Scale (Full screen)

Select your plotting method from a choice of single curve as Point, Line, Bar, Area, Stick and Ribbon. Put your own unique touch on reports and views with customizable foreground, background, marker, line type and color. Finally, export graphs as image files, WMF or text file for free, unrestricted report generation directly in your own template.

The Static Trend functions in UAS2, with multiple export formats and a variety of plotting methods, delivers conveniences while revolutionizing the user’s experience.

Dynamic Time Waveform

For veteran users of UAS2, you will find many (all?) of the features you told us were missing in UAS.

  1. Scrolling Playback Cursor: A scrolling playback cursor visually directs you through the time signal during playback. Now you can follow along to every defect as UAS2 traces each ultrasonic crackle, click and rub.
  2. Timeline Bar: The SDT270 provides user-adjustable data acquisition time for all measurements. For example, inspectors can sample a slow speed bearing for as long as 80 seconds! At a sampling rate of 8k, that’s a possible 640,000 measurements to navigate. The addition of a new timeline bar facilitates fast navigation and easy zooming through these long measurements.
  3. Smart Cursors: UAS always featured useful Single, Delta, and Periodic Cursors. In UAS2, the ability to customize and save these cursors makes analysis faster, and the experience more enjoyable.
  4. Impact Markers: Each Dynamic Time Graph automatically displays and labels the 10 highest values sampled. Users can choose to display only the highest POSITIVE values, or the highest POSITIVE and NEGATIVE values.
  5. Y-Axis Rescaling: Like UAS, UAS2 gives full control to the ultrasound analyst for comparing two or more machine signals. Controlled Y-Axis rescaling only makes sense, and UAS is the only ultrasound software that features this necessary analytical tool.

Removal of Unwanted Data: UAS2 adds the power to remove unwanted portions of a time signal. Imagine collecting a 10 second signal and removing the first and last 2 seconds because the machine stopped and started during the measurement. Using the Timeline Bar, zoom in and cut the unwanted portion of the signal. UAS2 automatically saves the new signal, and recalculates the RMS, Peak, and Crest Factor; How smart is that?

Mouse Wheel Zoom Function: With 8,000 measurements per second captured by the SDT270, there’s a lot to see. An intelligent mouse wheel function zooms in to the nanosecond of any time signal.

Overlay any static data resident in the same tree structure for direct asset comparisons. Choose from three graph sizes:

  • Widget Scale (Quarter pane)
  • Normal Scale (Full pane)
  • Max Scale (Full screen)

Use additional controls added for:

  • Cross cursor, data markers, and data labels
  • Customizable line color and weight
  • Export as image, WMF, or text file

UAS2 Time Waveform is more than just the “sound” of your machine. This view is a traceable, comparable, and calibrated representation of Ultrasound and Vibration measurements, captured with the world’s most accurate, portable ultrasound measurement instrument.

Dynamic Spectrum

UAS2’s Ultrasound Envelope Power Spectrum is a game changing advancement for analysis of ultrasound and vibration spectrums in a single application. Plot both vibration velocity and acceleration, or ultrasound envelope power spectrum data from the same asset measurement. Or overlay older measurement data with the last measurement from any other measurement location.

Use the intelligent mouse wheel zoom feature to drill deep into your data and then quickly back again. Or navigate through the signal or modify the zoom using the all new Frequency Bar.

Recall saved Single, Delta and Periodic Cursors for advanced analytics. Apply markers to graphs labelling the 10 highest peak values and sort them from lowest to highest, or highest to lowest values.

Rescale Y-Axis values for more comparative analytics.

Choose from 3 graph pane sizes:

  • Widget Scale (Quarter pane)
  • Normal Scale (Full pane)
  • Max Scale (Full screen)

Use additional controls added for:

  • Cross cursor, data markers, and data labels
  • Customizable line color and weight
  • Export as image, WMF, or text file

The unprecedented analytical power of UAS2 is demonstrated with the proprietary Ultrasound Envelope Power Spectrum algorithm. There is no better platform available that integrates, with such accuracy, both ultrasound and vibration asset condition data.
