The OM-VIB-101 system has three components:

1. A USB memory stick (data logger) with three precision on-board

microelectronic gravitational force sensors (accelerometers).

The data logger is designed to be attached to an operating

piece of equipment (a motor, for example) and left in place to

measure and record the equipment’s acceleration in three

dimensions over an extended period of time.

2. A pedestal with magnets and screw holes for firmly mounting

the data logger to the piece of equipment.

3. A Windows-compatible graphics application that can download

thousands of stored or real-time acceleration readings to a PC

from the data logger via its USB interface. Using powerful

analysis tools in the software, an engineer or technician can

assess the health or diagnose any performance problems of the

equipment by relating the acceleration data to physical

manifestations such as vibration, motion and tilt.

KEY FEATURES

• Three accelerometers precisely measure acceleration on x, y

and z axes

• Data logger stores up to 327,600 data points in flash memory

• One button starts/stops data logging without PC

• Plug-and-play USB 2.0 interface; no need for cables, cradles or

docks

• Mounting pedestal with magnets and three screw holes

• Included PC interface/analysis software can download recorded

data or acquire real-time data or real-time frequency data

• Software is used to set system clock, operating mode (normal,

time-triggered or motion measuring), sampling rate and axial

high/low alarm thresholds

• Powerful analysis modes, including Fast Fourier Transform

frequency conversion and time-domain analysis

• One-click exporting of tabular data to .txt file or graph to printer

• Red and green LEDs indicate device status (recording, not

recording, battery low, memory full)

• Powered by high-capacity, long-life, non-rechargeable Li-ion

battery

WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE

The OM-VIB-101 system comes in a white box. Inside the box are:

• The USB data logging device with a pre-installed battery that

requires activation

• A mounting pedestal

• An extension cable with a full-size USB plug at one end and a

full-size USB jack at the other

• A mini-disc containing the .exe file of the Shock Software V2.1

application and a pdf explaining how to install and use it

• A hard copy of this user’s manual

SETUP INST UCTIONS

ACTIVATE BATTERY

1. Use a very small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two

silver screws securing the grey battery compartment cover

(Fig. 1, Callout F) to the bottom of the data logger. Set the

screws aside, taking care not to lose them.

2. Carefully remove the battery compartment cover to expose the

“1/2AA” battery inside.

3. Remove the battery from the well. If the battery is covered by a

transparent plastic cover, remove and discard it. If not, proceed

to the next step.

4. Insert the battery in the well cathode (- side) first.

5. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the

two silver screws.

INSTALL SOFTWARE

1. Remove the Shock Software V2.1 mini-disc from its protective

sleeve and place it in the tray of your PC’s CD/DVD drive with

the label facing up. Close the tray.

2. On the AutoPlay screen that appears next, click on “Open folder

to view files”

3. The next screen will indicate that there are two files on the

disc: <Shock Software V2.1 Instructions.pdf> and <Shock V2.1

Setup.exe>. Before installing the application, it is recommended

that you copy the pdf to your hard drive to make the software

instructions available without having to re-load the disc. You

may also want to print out the instructions for off-line reference.

4. Double-click <Shock V2.1 Setup.exe>. The screen below will

appear.

5. Click Next to call up

the screen at right.

Use the Browse

button if you want to

save the Shock

software somewhere

other than the

ProgramFiles folder.

Otherwise,

click Next.

6. On the Ready to

Install screen at

right, click Install.

7. While the software

installs, you will see

the screen at right.

8. When installation is

complete, click

Finish to exit the

Shock Setup Wizard.

CONFIGURE DATA LOGGER

The next two steps in the setup process install a software driver

for the USB data logger, and configure the unit to your data

logging preferences.

Remove the transparent plug cap (Fig. 1, Callout E) from the data

logger to prepare it to be plugged into a USB port of your

computer.

Note that the software installation has added a icon to your

desktop. To facilitate access to the program, right-click on the icon

and pin it to both your Start button and the Quick Start area at the

left of your taskbar. You can now eject the Shock Software mini-

disc and store it with your other important software.

Plug the data logger into an available USB port of your computer. If

your computer is a laptop and the only available USB jack does

not have enough vertical clearance to accommodate the logger

without mechanically stressing its USB plug, do not plug the

logger directly into the jack. You do not want the plug of the logger

to support any of the weight of the laptop. If that is the case, plug

the data logger into the jack of the included USB extension cable

and insert the plug of the extension cable into the computer’s

USB jack.

VB10 Manual_FINAL_080514_awb 8/5/14 12:06 PM Page 8

The first time you plug the data logger into your computer, your

system tray will notify you that the computer is “Installing Device

Driver Software”. When the notification disappears, open the

Shock program by selecting it via your Start button, clicking on its

icon on your taskbar, or double-clicking its desktop icon.

If the software has installed correctly and you have plugged the

data logger into a working USB port of your computer, the screen

at right will

appear on your

computer’s

display.

To config re the

data logger,

begin by selecting

the System

Parameter

pulldown of the

File menu at

upper left. This

will call up the

screen at right.
