Abstract:
A method for extracting data associated with the dynamics of a rotating system, wherein said rotating system contains sensors therein, said method comprising the steps of:compiling sensor measurement data from said sensors, wherein said sensor measurement data contain data indicative of the dynamics of said rotating system; creating a sine table and a cosine table based on a particular number of measured data points per revolution of said rotating system; formulating an index into said sine table and said cosine table that is time synchronized with said sensor measurement data and referenced to an angular position of said rotating system; and dynamically correlating said sensor measurement data with data contained within said sine table and said cosine table to obtain data associated with a balance condition of said rotating system, such that said dynamically correlated data is thereafter available on demand and utilized to determine a required correction necessary to place said rotating system in a balanced state.
