  • Publication number: 20200401302
    Abstract: A system includes a sensing device and an industrial monitor comprising a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensing device. The processor is configured to receive a measurement of a mechanical system during operation and determine a plurality of parameters of the mechanical system based on the received measurement. The system includes a portable monitoring device configured to individually present a series of screens on a display in response to user input, wherein each of the plurality of parameters is respectively associated with a particular screen of the series of screens, and wherein each particular screen is configured to selectively present a navigational indicator when a parameter that is associated with a different screen has an irregular status, and wherein the navigational indicator has an appearance that indicates the user input that will cause the different screen to be presented on the display of the monitoring device.
