  MicroShockDetector    - 11 - 3.3 O P E R A T I O N   T I M E   A ND B A T T E R Y   C H A N G E  Operation time The  device  runtime  of     MicroShockDetector  depends  on  the  set  measurement parameters,  the  battery  type  and  the  use  conditions.  The  number  of  shocks  on  the  triggering threshold of the device is mainly decisive. Assuming that the device is activated by the shock up to a  maximum  of  100,000  times,  the  typical  runtime  of  a  battery  is  about  2  years.  The  actual remaining battery charge is monitored by the device and displayed by the software.  Battery change Prior  to  a  battery  change  the     MicroShockDetector  must  be  properly  switched  off, otherwise the data loss of the device cannot be excluded. For the change of the battery proceed as follows: 1) Remove  the  battery  cover  by  loosening  the  fastening  screws  by  means  of  a  screw  driver. (Cross slot H size 1). Afterwards, you can pull out the battery out of the battery holder.   2) Now, insert the new battery according to the specified polarity into the device.  3) In a last step, screw again the battery cover onto the device. Pay attention to the maximum tightening torque of 0.3 Nm and the correct position of the seal.        Attention: Ensure the correct polarity when inserting the batteries!

The corresponding curve can be invoked by double-click on the table row, if the circle symbol • is available in the column "Curve".
   MicroShockDetector - 22 -  Image 14: Shock event table  Image 15: Shock curve graph The shock curves can be browsed by the overlying scrollbars. By activating or deactivating the "Hook" in the legend on the right side, the x,y, z-channel and the amount curve can be blended out (see Image 15).  The  vertical  graph  axis  is  switched  between  the  maximum  values  of  the  curve  and  the  full measuring range of  ± 8 g by the button „Axis of ordinate“.  Principle of the shock recording: The  shock  recording  starts  when  the  value  of  the  acceleration  exceeds  the  internal  trigger threshold of 0.25 g on at least one measurement channel (approximately 3% of the measuring range).  The measuring points are continuously recorded with 500 Hz per channel, filtered on an upper cut off frequency of 25 Hz and it selects separate shock impacts. A shock impact starts exceeding the  trigger  threshold  on  at  least  one  measurement  channel  and  ends  when  the  main  thrust (channel with the absolute maximum of shock) changes sign (zero crossing) or all 3 channels fall
  MicroShockDetector    - 23 - below  the  trigger  threshold  again.  Within  a  period  of 4  s  more  shock  impacts  can  occur,  for example, by vibration. The impact with the largest amplitude is evaluated at the end of a curve period  and  compared  with  the  configured  criteria.  A  shock  curve  is  permanently  stored  if  the registration  thresholds  met  on  at  least  one  measurement  channel,  shock  strength  and  shock duration for this shock impact.   Image 16: valuation of shock events  As a shock event is considered the largest single impact within the sampling time of 4 s, which meets  all  the  set  conditions  (amount of  shock,  shock  strength,  shock  duration)  (in  this  example Image  16  Impact 1). In  addition  to  the measurement of the  3  channels, a value  for  the  space vector  and  integrated  value  for  the  shock  strength  of  this  impact  are  calculated  at  each measurement point. The shock strength is equivalent to the difference speed.

   MicroShockDetector - 24 - Shock classification The   MicroShockDetector evaluates the acceleration amplitude of all shocks separated by  the  thrusts  X,  Y  and  Z  and  the  resulting  space  vector  R.  All  shocks  are  specified  by  the amplitude in laid down threshold classes regardless of whether these are stored as shock events or shock curve with timestamp and measurement. It is displayed as a table and graph (Image 18).   Image 18: Shock classification Acceleration progress graph Recorded shock events with their maximum acceleration amplitudes are shown in a line graph (Image 19). It is possible to zoom into the curve shape in. By the button "Calculate average" statistical values of acceleration are calculated on all shock events.   Image 19: Acceleration progress graph

When viewing records from files this window does not appear (Image 20).  Image 20: Configuration of the device For the meaning of the used settings see also Section 4.3.2. By the icon   you can restore the default settings.  The buttons have the following functions:  Time synchronisation:   synchronizes the clock in the device to PC time  Setup new battery:    resets the battery consumption meter after the change of          the battery in the device  Send configuration:     sends the all settings to the device  Erase memory:     deletes the all data in the memory of the device  Password configuration:   allows you to change the device password Configuration of the registration thresholds The correct configuration of the registration thresholds is fundamental for the storage of the shock measurements. A shock must reach the shock amount, specified at least on one axis X, Y or Z and at the  same  time  the minimum shock length. When  a  value  greater  than 0 m/s  is  entered, the shock  strength  must  be  also  met  as  a  criterion  (see  also  Section  4.3.7  Principle  of  the  shock recording).
   MicroShockDetector - 26 - Change of the synchronous interval and configuration of the alarm events: The configuration of the synchronous interval is performed using the selection fields "Synchronous interval" in hours and minutes (Image 20). During the configuration of the zero no record of the time-synchronous temperature measurements takes place.  The  entry  fields  for  the  limit  values  of  the  alarm  events  are  next  to  it.  On  the  basis  of  the configured thresholds, alarm events are saved if exceeding the threshold is detected during the measurement run.  Erase Memory: The function „Erase Memory“ erases the all data, stored in the device.  Attention! Ensure that you have completely read out the data and saved them  as *.msd file before erasing! Erased data cannot be restored! Password configuration: It  is  possible  to  protect  the  device  with  a  password.  All  accesses  via  USB  are  blocked  by password  activity  until  the  password  is  entered  correctly.  The  password  may  contain  up  to  8 characters. By clicking on the green tick the new password is transmitted. Note: To remove a password again, leave the field "New password" empty.   Image 21: Creating/changing password   Password:     Enter the current password  New password:   Enter the desired new password  Confirm password:   Please enter the new password for confirmation
  MicroShockDetector    - 27 - Change of the device name: The  device  name  of  the     MicroShockDetector  can  be  changed  by  the  user.  The maximum of up to 16 characters is available. The designation will be saved and transmitted to the device by pressing the ENTER key on your keyboard or by clicking the button next to it on the right.  The  designation  can  be  selected  individually.  It  makes  sense  to  name  the  designation according to measuring point, measurement task, etc. (for example, "Transport 1").  Adjust recording period: The desired recording period for the device can also be set by the user. If a recording period is defined, the measurement recording begins at the starting time. By exceeding the stop time point, the  measurement  recording  is  stopped.  If  the  entry  fields  are  not  empty,  the  measurement recording runs as long as the device is switched on. The entry of the starting and stop time proceed in local time in date format:  dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss (Day.Month.Year Hour:Minite:Second) The  configuration  of  the  recording  period  is  possible  by  pressing  the  ENTER  key  on  your keyboard or by clicking the button on the right. Configuration of the device time: The synchronization of the system time is done by clicking on the clock icon. The device works internally with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This is the same all over the world, this means independent from the time zones. The PC program shows, however, depending on the time zone setting of your PC, the time, converted to your local system.
   MicroShockDetector - 28 - 5. FI R M W A R E - U P D A T E  5 . 1  P R E P A R A T I O N  Through a firmware update, a   MicroShockDetector receives an updated application program if this update file is provided by the manufacturer.  Prior to the firmware update the following points must be observed:  The  activation  of  the  update  mode  can  only  be  carried  out,  if  the    MicroShockDetector is switched off. If your device is still switched on, please switch it off.  Have ready the included mini USB cable and plug one end of the cable in a free USB port of your computer for the preparation. Do not plug the USB cable into the MONI LOG® device yet!  Ensure  that  on your  computer  no  sensor network  PC  programmes  are  executed  and  all necessary drivers are installed. Attention! Back up all measurement, diagnostics and configuration data of your device prior to the firmware update to prevent a possible data loss. The memory is reset to default settings.  In  the  switched  off  condition  of  the  device  connect  the  USB  cable  and  keep  the  control  key pressed (~1 second, status LED is illuminated green) until the status LED  starts to flash red with 1 Hz.  The  update  mode  is  active  now.  It  only  remains  active  as  long  as  the  USB  cable  is connected. If the control key is released before the detection of the update mode, the device starts the normal operating mode. Proceed now with the instructions according to chapter 5.2 „Carrying out update“.
