Installation of EDM Software

What You Will Need
Installation of EDM requires a valid CoCo license key, as
well as an installation CD or file. For EDM to run, a SQL
database manager is necessary. EDM comes with an
installer for MSSQL if there is no SQL manager detected
on the system.

Software Included on Installation CD

The Installation CD includes Crystal Instruments’ EDM
software as well as several other necessary software
installers required for proper operation. EDM uses
Microsoft Word for generating reports, which should be
installed on your computer prior to the installation of
EDM. EDM does not include Microsoft Word in its
installation files.

EDM Software: This is the software and user interface

used to connect the CoCo hardware to the computer and
manage your data.

Microsoft SQL Server Software (MSSQL): A SQL server is

required. MSSQL Server is included to manage the
database system that stores route and measurement data
on the PC and CoCo.

USB Driver for CoCo: The USB driver is required to

connect the CoCo hardware to the PC with a USB
connection. The CoCo driver does not install
automatically, the location will need to be specified.

EDM Software CD
Engineering Data Management (EDM) is PC software used
for data management, post signal processing, viewing,
reporting, and connecting Crystal Instruments hardware,
the PC, and the data storage system. EDM provides
connectivity to one or more CoCo devices. It provides
data management tools to search through many tests and
records, and view file properties or waveform
characteristics. The analysis tools display data in a wide
variety of formats and configurations to help identify
important signal characteristics using cursors. The report
tool documents the hardware configuration or data
analysis results in a user formatted document.

 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

To install EDM and related software systems included on

the CD, place the installation CD in the CD drive of the
target PC. The Welcome Screen will automatically open as
shown below. If the Welcome Screen does not
automatically open, run the Setup.exe file on the root
level of the CD by selecting the physical drive with the CD,
opening the EDM folder, and double-clicking on
Setup.exe.

necessary. Click Next if all settings are correct. The
Installation Wizard will then set up EDM according to the
settings.

Click Finish to exit the EDM installer.

EDM has two working modes for use with CoCo, DSA and
VDC. This quick reference guide will focus on VDC mode.

EDM License Key

EDM software is registered to a CoCo device. To activate
the EDM software, a valid License Key is required. EDM
7
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

uses a License Key file to enable or disable certain

functions. License Key files are also used to control the
Activation Period and Software Subscription Renew
period. Multiple License Keys can be installed in one EDM
installation. This allows one instance of EDM to run
multiple Crystal Instruments devices.

A typical management page for license keys is shown in

Figure 4.

Figure 4: License Key Manager

Software Renew Period: this is the time period that this

EDM installation can be upgraded using the currently
installed License Key. When the time expires, the EDM
software will still be functional but cannot be updated.

Software Activation Period: this is the time period that

this EDM installation can be used under this License Key.

8
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Where is My License Key?

Your License Key is a file with extension of *.LIC. There are
three ways to obtain your EDM software License Key:

1. The license key is located on the CD.

Figure 5: CoCo License Key on the EDM

Installation CD

2. When the EDM Software and CoCo are shipped

from Crystal Instruments, an automated email
message will be sent providing shipping
information, the License Key, and the Serial
Number of the instrument.

3. If you have not received the automated email

message, or do not have the CD, log into the CI
Technical Support Site: http://www.go-

USB Device Driver

After the EDM installation finishes, the CoCo can be
connected to the PC. To connect via a USB cable the USB
driver must first be installed. The driver does not install
automatically.

To install it manually, connect CoCo to the PC with the

provided USB cable and power the CoCo on. This cable
has a mini-USB connection to the CoCo and a standard
USB 1.1/2.0 connection to the PC.

Open the Control Panel from the Start Menu. Open the
Device Manager from the Control Panel to view all
connected devices.

Creating a Database
This section describes a step by step process of creating a
database in EDM. A database consists of one or more
Factories, Machines, Points, Entries, and Routes. This data
is saved in a SQL database on the PC. Once the database
is setup in EDM it must be uploaded to the CoCo.

Accessing a New Database

The first time EDM is used a database must be created. All
data that is collected by the CoCo and analyzed in the
EDM software is stored in a database on the PC. Multiple
databases can be maintained for different factories, ships,
buildings, etc., or a single database can keep all collected
data and factory information.

The first step is to create an empty database in EDM. Click

the Access button on the Database Ribbon to open the
Login tab in the Database Access Wizard.

Figure 14: Database Access Wizard

Select the radio button next to Create a new database,

then click the Next button. Type a name for the new
15
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

database and then click Create. EDM will then initialize

the Database, which may take a few seconds. A message
will indicate when the database has been created.

Figure 15: Database Access Wizard creating new

database

Next click the Access button to access the new Database.

This closes the wizard and displays the Database structure
in the Database Explorer.

Creating Database Items: Factories, Machines, Points,

Entries and Routes
The Database Explorer displays the structure of the
Database on the top half. The view can be expanded and
condensed by clicking on the triangle controls to show or
hide the items contained in the element.

For example, a Factory can contain several machines, and

each machine can contain several measurement Points.
Clicking the triangle next to the Machine displays or hides
the Points. This helps in managing a database that
includes a large number of items.

16
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Figure 16: Database Explorer

As a database expands to include all the machinery of a

plant, it may be easier to use if there are multiple
Factories. This manual uses the convention of Factories,
Machines, Points, Entries, and Routes.

A Factory can also be thought of as a physical area within

a plant, or perhaps a building. The EDM database is not
limited in the number of top tier Factories, so there are
many ways this can be set up. Some limitations do apply,
however. A data collection Route is limited to include only
the machines within its Factory. A Factory may have
17
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

multiple Routes, but a Route may not have multiple

Factories.

Tip: Start with one Factory for all machinery

and use the Copy, Paste and Duplicate
functions to speed up the creation of the
database. If the database is divided into two or
more Factories, then it is probably preferable
to do this based on physical locations rather
than on machine types.

The CoCo in VDC mode selects which Factory to work

with. Under the Factory structure will be a list of Routes
that can be selected for use in data collection.

When a Database item such as a Factory, Machine Point,

or Route is selected, detailed information is displayed in
the bottom half of the Database Explorer.

To add a new item to the Database, click the buttons at

the top of the Database Explorer.

Figure 17: Database Explorer buttons.

The items in a database have a hierarchical structure.

That is, they must be defined in a specific order. A Factory
is the highest level; a Machine is the next level and must
18
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

be associated with a Factory. Note that a Machine

appears below the Factory in the explorer as a lower level.
Similarly, a Measurement Point is the next level below a
Machine and must be associated with a Machine. A
Route is a subset of a Factory but not associated with a
specific Machine or Measurement Point because a Route
can contain several different Machines and measurement
Points.

Only items that are appropriate for the current level of the
Database can be added. For example, in order to add a
new factory the highest level must be highlighted. If a
button is disabled it is because that item cannot be add at
this level. For example when a new Machine is selected
the Add a New Factory button is disabled because a new
Factory cannot be added as a subset of a new Machine.

Use the toolbar buttons to add Factories, Machines,

Points, Entries and Routes to the database to represent
the vibration data collection plan for your facility. The
figure below illustrates a database that includes two
Factories and four Machines. Each Machine includes one
or more measurement points. Each measurement Point
includes one or more measurement Entries. Factory 1 is
selected in the upper half and its contents are displayed in
the lower half of the explorer.

19
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Figure 18: Database with 2 Factories and 4

Machines

After the components of the Database are created the

details for each item must be specified. This can be done
this either by double-clicking on the item or by selecting it
and clicking on the Edit button on the toolbar.

Figure 19: Edit Entry button

Similarly, using the mouse and right-clicking on an item in

the database will bring up a context sensitive list of
actions available for that item. For example, right-clicking
on a Machine will bring up the following actions: Edit; Tag,
20
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Manage Tag; New Machine, New Point, New

Measurement, New Note; Search Peak; Export Signal Data
to File; Delete; Copy Machine; Duplicate Machine; New
Reading Alarm; Collapse All; and Report.

Figure 20: Database Explorer pop-up menu

Adding Measurement Points

Measurement Points are physical locations on a machine
which will be monitored. Multiple measurement Entries
21
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

can be made at a single Point to characterized vibration in

multiple axes. Some special settings can be defined in the
case of measurement Points.

Figure 21: Measurement Point settings

RPM Multiplier
In the case of a gearbox that increases or decreases the
speed of the driven machine relative to its driven input
speed, this entry will account for the speed changes of the
driven unit based on the tachometer reading or input at
the time the measurements are recorded on the driver.

Diameter of Roller/Pulley
Similar to a RPM Multiplier, for belt driven machines the
speed changes can be calculated by the software if the
diameters for the driver pulley and driven pulley are
measured and entered. From that point on, only the

22
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

driven speed needs to be measured when data is

collected.

Figure 22: Measurement Point Parameter dialog

Adding Measurement Entries

A measurement Entry is a collection of settings for a
measurement associated with a specific measurement
Point. One or more measurement Entries can be defined
for any measurement Point. For example, an
accelerometer can be used to take more than one type of
measurement on a machine. These measurements will be
trended over a long period of time and different
measurements are used to detect different types of
machine faults.

Figure 23: New Entry button in the database

toolbar

23
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

To add a new Entry click the Measurement Entry item in

the Database Explorer to open the Measurement Entry
Wizard. The first dialog selects the Measurement Pattern.
This specifies the number of measurement channels and
if a tachometer will be used for this entry. The next page
will specify the parameters to be measured. The
parameter defaults entered in Parameter Set can be
chosen, or a new set can be created.

Figure 24: Measurement Entry settings window

Expected RPM
Ideally, whenever a measurement is take a tachometer
will provide live readings as machine loads can vary and
cause the machine to run at slightly different speeds.
Analysis of the data is dependent on knowing the
machine speed at the time the data was collected.
However, in cases where the use of a dedicated
tachometer is not possible, the Expected RPM will be
used to convert the data display to Orders of running
speed.

Click Next to move to the Parameter Set dialog. Select a

Parameter Set from the pull down menu or click New to
create a new Parameter Set. Parameter Sets specify the
signals that will be computed, the measurement quantity,
and the measurement interval. The Customize option is
used to select a set of parameters that is not defined by
any existing Parameter Set.

Click Next to move to the last dialog. Enter a name and

description for the measurement Entry, and then click
Finish to complete the process.

26
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Figure 28: Measurement Entry Wizard, Name and

Description dialog

When the wizard is completed the dialog closes and the

Entry is complete. Repeat this process for all Entries
associated with each Point in the database. Note that this
process is only done once when the database structure is
initially setup. However, it can be modified at any time.

Only one Machine of each type needs to be created

within a Factory. Once it has been defined the Machine,
Points, Entries and notes for a machine type can be
duplicated and renamed to populate the database. Not
only does this make Factory setup quicker, it also helps to
insure that all measurement Entries are identical for each
Machine of one type so they can be compared to each
other.

Entries can also be copied from one measurement Point

to another. Do this by right-clicking on the entry and
selecting Copy Entry from the popup menu, then select
another measurement Point, right-click on it and select
Paste Entry. Additionally, Duplicate Entry can be selected
from the popup menu to create a copy of the Entry and
then change any necessary parameters for the new Entry.
These tools help to quickly add as many Entries to the
Database as needed.

27
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Creating a Route
Routes can be added to the CoCo to cover a variety of
conditions. Some machines may need to be monitored
occasionally and others may need to be watched closely.
The system allows the CoCo to have many different
customized Routes loaded for each situation.

A Route is a subset of a Factory, so it can not include

Machines in different Factories. If there are multiple
Factories (or the database is divided into multiple Areas),
moving from one Factory to another can be done easily in
EDM or on the CoCo. Click on the Add a Route button on
the toolbar or double-click an existing Route to open the
Edit Route dialog. Enter a name and description for the
Route.

Add a check mark next to each Point in the Customization

tab that is to be included in the Route. A Point can be
selected from the list and the buttons on the right are
used to change the order of a Route or remove one or all
Points from the Route. Points can also be arranged by
clicking on the Point and dragging it to the correct space
on the list.

28
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Figure 29: Edit Route dialog

While dragging, if the mouse cursor is to the left of the

number the point will be moved as a heading of its own. If
the mouse is to the right of the number, it will be added
as a sub-Point to what is directly above the line. Right-
clicking on Points opens a popup menu that can also be
used to change the order.

29
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Upload and Download Options

Upload Options
When uploading Factory information to the CoCo,
duplicate or older information can be handled in two
different ways. Uploading can be done in Replace Mode
or in Combine Mode.

Replace Mode
When the Factory structure and Routes are synchronized
between EDM and the CoCo there are two options that
need to be considered. If a new Route has been created
that encompasses all the Machines and measurement
Points, or if Machines have been changed out with spares,
the Upload process should include the Replace mode
option. This will replace the entire Factory in the CoCo
with the new Factory and Routes that are associated with
that Factory.

For example, if Machine 3 on the factory floor is being

replaced with a spare that has been overhauled, the
vibration and other monitoring data in the database
should not be mixed between the two machines. Machine
3 has been taken out of service and is being replaced with
Machine 2, and the Factory has been updated in EDM to
reflect this change of equipment. When uploaded to the
CoCo in Replace mode, Machine 2 measurements will
take the place of all Machine 3 measurements.

Combine Mode
If adding new Machines to the Factory, it is not necessary
to entirely replace the Factory during an upload. For
30
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

example, a new area in Factory1 has been prepared and is

ready to be monitored on a regular basis and includes a
new Machine, Machine2. In this case it is best to use the
Combine Mode during the Upload process. EDM will
upload all new data, but leave any existing Machines,
Points, Routes, etc. untouched.

Uploading Data to CoCo

When all Factories, Machines, Points, Entries, and Routes
have been defined in a Database it is ready to upload to
the CoCo. The backup options in the Database
Management should also be checked to be sure that the
database is saved to the PC.

Select Upload on the toolbar to start the upload process.

Select which databases will be uploaded to the CoCo.
More than one Factory or database can be uploaded to
the CoCo so they are available to the operator.

Figure 30: VDC Synchronization Wizard

Select the Routes to be uploaded and specify whether

existing Routes on the CoCo will be replaced or updated.
31
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Once the transfer options have been specified, press

Upload to send the data to the CoCo. When the upload is
complete the Finish button will be available to exit the
wizard.

Figure 31: VDC Synchronization Wizard, select

Downloading Data from CoCo

After measurement data has been collected using the
Route Measurement or Onsite Measurement function,
the data must be downloaded to EDM for further analysis,
post-processing, and storage in the database.

Download from VDC to EDM with New Machine Added

Occasionally, it may be necessary to add a new Machine
to the Factory while in the factory collecting data. When
this occurs, the Download process from CoCo to the EDM
database will automatically add the new Machine to the
database. Assume Machine3 has been added by an
operator in the CoCo. When EDM downloads the data
from the CoCo Machine3 is added to the Factory1
database and the associated data is stored. The CoCo
32
 CoCo-80 Quick Reference

updates to add Machine3 and saves a new Route as

Route3, which is added to the list of available Routes in
the Factory1 database.

Synchronize via USB

Turn on the CoCo and enter VDC mode, then connect the
CoCo via USB or Ethernet and click the Download button
in the EDM Devices Toolbar to start the Vibration Data
Collector Synchronization Wizard.

Verify that CoCo Device is selected and press Next.

Figure 32: VDC Synchronization Wizard

Select the CoCo that contains the data to be downloaded

and press Connect. Once the connection is established,
press Next to select the data sets to be downloaded.

Synchronizing via SD Card

Data can also be uploaded to EDM directly from the SD
card. Begin by removing the SD card from the CoCo unit
and connecting it to a SD card reader on the target PC.
Click Download in the EDM Ribbon Bar to launch the
Synchronization Wizard.

Managing Databases and Factories

Database Management
The Manage button in the Database toolbar is used to
backup and save databases. Measurements and Factory
information can be saved into the database in a number
of ways.

Figure 38: Manage Databases button

The options below allow specify how and when the data is
saved to the database.

Caution: Data is not automatically saved into

the database when a parameter is entered or
changed. This is because the database may
reside on a networked server and constant
communication over the network could cause
unacceptable delays in the software operation.
