One of the features available in the Spot Viewer screen is to select a continuous collection period as a reference for future analysis.
For example, after implementing a maintenance action and knowing that the asset is functioning properly, the post-implementation period can be used as a time reference. This way, at any time in the future, the reference can be accessed to make a comparison with the current vibration and temperature data.
To configure the reference period, just click on the “
