Tachometer Hysteresis (volt)	None	An offset from the Tachometer Threshold that the tachometer signal must cross before the device monitoring the tachometer can detect a new pulse.	This value is always positive. For instance, if the Tachometer Threshold (volt) is -5 V, the Tachometer Hysteresis (volt) is 1 V, and the Tachometer Slope is "falling", this signal must cross -4 V before the device will detect another pulse.
Tachometer Slope	None	The direction of slopes in the signal, whether rising or falling, that causes the device to measure a pulse when the slopes cross the Tachometer Threshold.	N/A
Tachometer Threshold (volt)	None	The unscaled value at which slopes in the signal of the specified direction cause the device to measure a pulse.	As an example, if the Sensitivity property for the tachometer channel is 200 mV/EU and a pulse should be detected at 80 mils, this property should be set to 16 V. Tachometer Threshold (volt) = Sensitivity * Tachometer Threshold (scaled). Note   For more information about tachometer-related properties, refer to the Illustration of Tachometer Properties at the bottom of this topic.
Thermocouple Type	None	The type of thermocouple connected to the asset.	Thermocouple types, named with letters, differ in composition and measurement range.
Terminal Configuration	None	RSE—Specifies that the analog input assets are referenced single-ended (RSE). A referenced single-ended (RSE) measurement system measures voltage with respect to the ground, which is directly connected to the measurement system ground. NRSE—Specifies that the analog input assets are non-referenced single-ended (NRSE). In an NRSE measurements system, all measurements are still made with respect to a single-node analog input, AISENSE, but the potential at this node can vary with respect to the measurement system ground. Differential—Specifies that the analog input assets are differential. A differential measurement system has neither of its inputs tied to a fixed reference, such as earth or building ground. A differential measurement system is similar to a floating signal source in that the measurement is made with respect to a floating ground that is different from the measurement system ground. Handheld, battery-powered instruments and DAQ devices with instrumentation amplifiers are examples of differential measurement systems. This mode measures potential between two inputs and therefore reduces asset count by 2.	N/A
U

For MCSA devices, the units of voltage and current channels match the units of the Voltage and Current asset types on the Units tab of the System page.

Vertical Bearing Clearance	None	The vertical diameter of the maximum bearing clearance, expressed in the units the Bearing Clearance Unit property specifies.	The Data Viewer page uses this value to display the maximum bearing clearance line in orbit and Shaft Centerline viewers.
Voltage Bus	None	The asset name of the voltage bus to which the motor is connected.	N/A
Voltage Phase A	MCSA	The potential transformer asset corresponding to phase A of the voltage bus voltage sensors.	When you only configure two of the three phase sensors on the Properties tab, InsightCM calculates the data of the third phase sensor.
Voltage Phase B	MCSA	The potential transformer asset corresponding to phase B of the voltage bus voltage sensors.	N/A
Voltage Phase C	MCSA	The potential transformer asset corresponding to phase C of the voltage bus voltage sensors.	N/A
W
Wiring Configuration	MCSA	The connection type of the voltage bus sensors.	N/A

Illustration of Tachometer Properties

In the following illustration, the Tachometer Slope property is set as Falling.

In this example, the signal demonstrates the following behavior.

• The device measures a pulse when the raw voltage signal first falls below the value of the Tachometer Threshold property, as shown in the graph.
• The signal immediately rises above and then falls below the threshold when the keyway slot passes the proximity probe. However, the device does not measure a second pulse because the signal does not also rise above the hysteresis level.
  

  Note  

  The hysteresis is useful in this situation because it prevents the noisy signal from triggering a second pulse when it falls below the Tachometer Threshold a second time.

• The signal rises above both the threshold and hysteresis levels, which means the device is able to measure a pulse again when the signal falls below the threshold a third time, near the end of the graph.
