Chapter 1. Specification

ABSTRACT
DREAM is the Diagnostic Rotating Element Analysis Module. It
is a software that runs on the IBM PC/AT compatible personal
computer and when coupled to an FFT analyzer or data collector,
fitted with an envelope detector, forms a complete monitoring
system for rolling element bearings.
The software is designed to be used either by nonspecialized
maintenance team (mechanics not trained in diagnostics) or expert
alike (high level engineer).
According to the diagnostic unit specified, the program recommends a measurement setup of the data collector. After the
measurements are done, the data are downloaded to the computer
and the DREAM makes analysis of the unit current condition.
DREAM identifies up to 14 possible machine units' defects in three
levels of danger. According to its condition DREAM determines
when the next measurement should be made, or recommends what
maintenance should be made, or recommends to replace the unit.
Since everything can be made in an automatic mode, the program
works extremely efficient. An operator can process up to a 100
spectra an hour, and working in one shift a team of two mechanics
can monitor the condition of up to ten thousand unit.
The Manual describes the operation of the application software
starting from its installation and up to report generation.
