How to create a @ptitude Analyst report that will give an overall plant vibration value for Velocity in in/s

Summary

Use the following step by step instructions to create an overall plant vibration value for Velocity in in/s (inch per second) report.

Solution

1. 1. First, create a Workspace in Analyst for all Velocity (in/sec) measurements.
      
      
   2. Place the cursor at the top of the Hierarchy or a specific section of the Hierarchy that you wish to include in the report.
      
      
      
   3.  Select Insert > Apply Filter...
      
      
      
   4. Select POINT, Setup, Full Scale Unit and in/s label from the list.
      
      
      
   5. Click Share As... and give the filter a meaningful name.
      
      
   6. Click OK, and the Filtered Workspace will filter the information, leaving ONLY those POINTs in which the Full Scale Unit label = in/s.
      
      
   7. Now you can create a New Report in @ptitude Analyst. Select  File > Reports > Add > Last Measurement
      
      
      
   8. Open the General tab to customize Name, Title, Header and Footer for the report.
      
      
   9. Open the Definition tab and select Columns. In the example below, we include Machine name, POINT name, Date/Time, Last Value and Units. We exclude  Previous Value, % change and Alarm Status from the report. 
      
      
      
   10. Select Measurement History, and under Measurements from the last fixed number of days, enter the desired number of days. 
       
       
       

   11. The Assignment was left with the default option of Selected Node… Press OK.

   12. The report can now be run against the Filtered Workspace.  Select the Workspace and click Generate.
       
       
       

   13. Bellow is an example of the Report that we generated in our example.
       
       
       
   14. Right-click anywhere in the Report and select Select All, then right-click again and select Copy.
       
       
   15. Open up Microsoft Excel file and right-click in the A1 box and select Paste. This should paste the report results into Excel as shown below.
       
       NOTE: Close out the Report window. If the Report window is left open, you can experience issues when attempting to paste into Excel.
       
       All Velocity in/s values will appear as shown below in the G column. From here, you can use any empty cell to create a formula =AVERAGE(G7:G154) in our case below. This value will be the average overall velocity value for all of my in/s measurements over the past 365 days.
