Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 9 wherein the minimum waveform data acquisition time is determined by:
(h) determining a value Mlines according to, M
    lines
   
   =
   
    
     N
     lines
    
    2
   
  
  ,
 

where Nlines is the number of lines of resolution;

(i) based on the value Nlines and the maximum frequency, determining a temporary value Ntmp for the number of amplitude peaks associated with unresolved fault frequencies Nunres;
(j) if Ntmp is greater than Nunres, then
setting Nlines equal to 2×Mlines, and
determining the minimum waveform data acquisition time Tacq according to, T
    acq
   
   =
   
    
     N
     lines
    
    
     F
     
      m
      ⁢
      a
      ⁢
      x
     
    
   
  
  ,
 

 and
if Ntmp is not greater than Nunres, then
setting Nlines equal to, N
    lines
   
   2
  
  ,
 

 and
repeating steps (i) and (j) until Ntmp is greater than Nunres; and

(k) configuring the data collection device using the minimum waveform data acquisition time.
