2FOLDER SELECTION DURING SYNC VIA REMOTE COMMS
S1 Collector app v23.2 now allows users to select and sync specific folders (instead of an entire
database). This can be achieved from Sync with Remote Comms page (as shown below).
On the resulting database screen, deselect the All check box and select the route folders you would liketo upload to Remote Comms, then select the Sync button. This will upload data only for the selectedfolder. Note that the app will still receive all route folders in the selected database during the Syncprocess i.e., the folder selectivity affects sending data only.

2SELECT AND DELETE SPECIFIC DATABASES AND ROUTEFOLDERSS1 Collector v23.2 now

Delete Databases or Folders

the Settings > Database

Options menu. This displays a list of all databases and their associated route folders, to allow the user totidy up the storage on their device.
You can collapse/expand each Database using the down/up arrows, or you can use the Collapse
All/Expand All button.
Selecting a Database checkbox automatically selects all its associated Route Folders.
For safety, a confirmation dialog is displayed after the Delete button is pressed.

KEYPAD ENTRY MEASUREMENTS CAN BE TAKENWITHOUT DATA COLLECTOR CONNECTED.
S1 Collector now allows users to take Keypad Entry measurements without connecting to a datacollector. This applies to both off-Route (Measure mode) and on-Route recordings.
This enables the S1 Collector app as a convenient way to collect basic numeric data during operator
rounds, and to enter those values into System 1 for trending & alarming. No data collector is required.
Any mobile device can be used, once loaded with the S1 Collector app from the Google Play store orApple Appstore. So, this ability comes at no cost to most holders of System 1 software licenses, even if
they are not yet using SCOUT200 portables.
Note that for on-Route use, the Route must contain only Keypad Entries, no vibration measurements,
otherwise a data collector will be requested.

DISPLAY OVERALL VALUE OF PREVIOUS AND BASELINESAMPLES IN PLOT.
S1 Collector v23.2 now shows comparison values below the Overall value in the info panel at the top
right of the plot:
1.

Overall value of the most recent Previous sample on the device, if any (Prev. O/All).

2.

Overall value of the Baseline sample, if this had been sent with the Route from System 1 (BL O/All).

These are both displayed in the same units as theOverall value, shown immediatelyabove.
Note that this can cause the info panel to become rather large, especially if 1 or 2 cursors are alsoenabled. However, this panel can simply be dragged to a different location on the screen, to avoid itobscuring important spectral or waveform info.

2DISPLAY TRUE PEAK-PEAK (TP-P) ON WAVEFORM PLOTS
S1 Collector v23.2 now shows true peak to peak values in the info pane at the top right of all waveform
plots.

Note that the available scaling options for overall levels have always been: rms, dpk & dpp.
-pk options is to indicate that these are derived, i.e., they are calculated
as a fixed ratio from the rms value.

are based on the highest momentary peaks

present in the time waveform. The derived peak and pk-pk values match the true values only when thesignal is a single-frequency sinusoid.
The measured true peak to peak value (tp-p) is now displayed whenever it is available i.e., on allwaveform plots.

2INTERMEDIATE AVERAGES DISPLAY ON PLOT
S1 Collector v23.2 now shows intermediate averages on plots
while it is recording longer-duration measurements.
Some measurements take considerable time to record,
especially those on slow speed machines, with high resolution
and many averages. This new feature allows an analyst to see
spectral data from the first average, and possibly subsequent
averages, as the data is being acquired. This is done in a waythat does not slow down data acquisition, as intermediate
results are only displayed if the result is some time off.

The Averages counter is displayed on plot header in the format<current average>/<configured averages>.

Figure 7-1
When recording on Route in Gauge display mode (rather than Plots mode), the Average counter issimply displayed as a progress bar, with the gauge displayed after all averages are complete.

CROSS CHANNEL FRF ENHANCEMENTS
S1 Collector v23.2 now has the following enhancements related to Frequency Response Function
measurements (which are used during data collection for Operating Deflection Shapes analysis):•If a user realizes that an FRF measurement had some sort of data quality issue, or was taken at thewrong location, they can now overwrite the previous measurement. Whenever the app detects thata measurement is being saved to a combination of Reference and Roving Sensor locations which
already contain data, a confirmation message pops up. The user is asked to confirm Overwrite(removal) of the existing recordings. Otherwise, both the existing and new recordings are kept.

•A minor improvement was made to the recording count for FRF measurements displayed in RecordReview mode. For the unusual situation where the Reference and Roving Sensors are at the samelocation, the count is now shown correctly as 2 recordings instead of 1.

2CURSORS SYNCHRONIZED BETWEEN PLOTS
Synchronized cursors were implemented in v23.1 for the specialized FRF plot (displaying Coherence,
FRF magnitude & FRF phase). This implementation has now been extended to ALL plots on a page
having the same X-axis. i.e., if you add a cursor to any one of the plots, it will also be added to all others.
And when you move any one of the cursors, all will move. This means that not only do the FRF spectralthat all the common measurement types now have it, likenormal spectra & waveforms.

SAVE AND LOAD CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
S1 Collector v23.2 allows users to save the following settings in a config file:•Remote Comms Server settings•Measurement Units•

Route mode, Display preferences, Alarm preferences and Alarm preset values.

Figure 10-1Config files can be used for multiple purposes:•To automate the entry of complex settings like the Remote Comms Server settings, or theAlarm Preset values.

•To allow two or more staff who share the same device to conveniently reset to their own
preferences. If more than one file exists, the user is asked which to load.

•To allow two or more sites or customers to use different settings (like measurement Units).

The config file is loaded automatically when the app launches, and all the saved settings arerestored.

2USER GUIDE IN S1 COLLECTOR APP
S1 Collector v23.2 allows users to launch and view the SCOUT200 Series User Guide. To view this file,
ensure a pdf viewer is installed on the handheld.

Figure 11-1
The User Guide is opened as a separate app (the pdf viewer), so the Android or iOS app-switcher button
can be used to jump quickly between the S1 Collector app and its User Guide.
