ICP/BIAS check on measurement point level for Dbx

Customer requested for bias voltage check on measurement point level. There are many BNC-cabled individual sensors in hasardous/dangerous zones where you need to check the sensor ICP or even save it before measuring. So there should be possibility to check and add/save note/something about the sensor ICP after you've checked it to the measuring point.

    The Microlog dBX (CMXA 90) is not rated for hazardous environments. An isolator will be required. Both Data Collector and Analyzer modules have tools to check ICP bias voltage. See section 2.24 or 6.14 in user manual for more details. https://cdn.skfmediahub.skf.com/api/public/0948a289fbcd56d0/pdf_preview_medium/0948a289fbcd56d0_pdf_preview_medium.pdf#cid-609428 

    The whole point was that in data collector module it is on route manager level and If you have like 1000 measuring points with (old) BNC-cables and INDIVIDUAL (old) sensors that you wouldn’t have to jump back 3 steps to route manager view always when checking it. Like in AX/GX you check it on measuring point level and make notes right away for that individual measuring point if somethings off… It’s hard to tell the customers why the new device doesn’t have the same ease of life functionalities than the old one. Would be a bare minimum when developing a new device. And maybe the ”dangerous/unsafe” would be the right word why we have these cables in place on customers that haven’t purchased online but have hard to reach machines etc.

    Thank you for your feedback, The Microlog Analyzer dBX has differences compared to the older GX/AX products. Many are considered as improvements. Your request to change the tool menu location for "ICP check" has been noted.
