Patent ID: 8725451

Claim:
A system for use in monitoring operation of a rotating device, the system comprising: at least one first sensor configured to sense a position of a first component, coupled to the rotating device, with respect to a predefined axis, and to generate a signal indicative of the position of the first component; at least one second sensor configured to sense a position of a second component, coupled to the rotating device, with respect to the predefined axis, and to generate a signal indicative of the position of the second component; and a processor coupled to the at least one first sensor and to the at least one second sensor, the processor programmed to: calculate a first plurality of property values of the first component based at least in part on the first component position; calculate a second plurality of property values of the second component based at least in part on the second component position; graphically present a first display including at least one trace based on at least a portion of the first plurality of component property values; graphically present a second display including at least one trace based on at least a portion of the second plurality of component property values; and synchronize the at least one trace in the first display with the at least one trace in the second display.
