The ASCENT is a Hungarian-language, Windows-based data storage, evaluation vibration diagnostic PC software, which is an integral part of the vb Series devices. It is designed to provide the most comprehensive vibration analysis functions and archived data with the simplest usability. The ASCENT includes the diagnostic tools necessary for the most popular analyses in the professional vibration analysis field.

The ASCENT has a simple and high-performance user interface that provides instant access to everyday functions through a variety of user-friendly Windows services.

Three graphical displays - overlaid, waterfall, and simple spectrum displays - provide easy and clear visualization of measurement data. The cursor can show the selected frequency, its harmonics, or sidebands. Time markers can be automatically linked to the spectra. Zooming in and out is very easy - with a mouse click. Rise and fall tests can be quickly and efficiently analyzed using waterfall diagrams.

In the ASCENT program, enveloping curve, peak, or vibration level-based alarm bands can be easily created and modified. Alarm limits can be set automatically with percentage-based threshold settings or manually with a mouse click. Alarm limits can be easily adjusted via the numerical keyboard or with the mouse using the "drag and drop" method. The ASCENT reporting function reports on the status of machines in the database. It also highlights which equipment did not have current measurements. The last data collection type report shows the broadband vibration levels recorded in the database and their percentage changes compared to the previous measurement. Each report can be exported to a Word® text editor with a single click. In the ASCENT program, enveloping curve, peak, or vibration level-based alarm bands can be easily created and modified.

CBDb - Commtest Bearing Database Large but easy-to-use bearing database containing fault frequencies of over 30,000 bearings from various manufacturers.

Step to a New Peak

The ASCENT-Level 2 is designed to fully exploit the possibilities offered by vibration analysis procedures. It makes the life of maintenance engineers and vibration diagnosticians as easy as possible, regardless of their experience. Time is money, so it is important that ASCENT-Level 2 ensures maximum productivity. Novice users will find useful, intuitive tools that enable them to confidently and effectively use the program during vibration analysis and diagnostics. Experienced experts and "full-time" vibration diagnosticians will appreciate how time-saving features help quickly find the necessary information from hundreds of spectra. ASCENT-Level 2 enhances the Ascent software with the following important capabilities:

Proven Method - Technical Associates' Proven Machinery Diagnostic Method

The 4th edition of the Technical Associates' proven method (Technical Associates', The Proven Method, 4th Edition) has been incorporated into the software. With just a few mouse clicks, you can create alarm bands and measurement settings for the equipment to be measured.

ISO 2372, ISO 10816

These vibration diagnostic standards have been integrated into the ASCENT-Level 2 software. With a few mouse clicks, the measurement points of the machine to be measured are set according to the international ISO standard for vibration level analysis.

Customizable SQL/HTML Reports

Users can create customized reports tailored to their needs using a high-performance SQL/HTML-based reporting generator. The full source code of the basic reports can be found at the beginning of the custom reports.

High-Level Analysis Tools

The frequency-based time waveform analysis and partial waveform analysis functions are innovative tools for the analysis of time-based measurements.
