Key Concepts in Multiviz

Understand the core terms that shape how Multiviz works. This guide breaks down each concept and how it fits into the system.

Measurement

A snapshot of sensor data at a specific time. Includes spectrum or waveform info plus metadata like sample rate and duration. Taken at regular intervals.

Source

The specific direction and resolution of a sensor signal. A single sensor can have multiple sources (e.g., X/Y/Z or low/high frequency).

Mode

A cluster of similar measurements from the same source. Helps identify recurring machine behavior patterns.

Anomaly

A measurement (or group) that doesn’t match any known mode—potentially pointing to something new or off.

Event

A detected signal change across measurements, signaling a shift or possible fault.

Prioritized Event

A new event that increases source priority until you’ve reviewed and cleared it.

Priority

Indicates how relevant a source is based on its current behavior. Active (uncleared) events drive this score.

Alert

Triggered when a source’s priority jumps (e.g., Low → High). Helps you catch important changes quickly.

Clearing

Resets a source’s priority by marking all events as reviewed.

Note

User-added comments on vibration plots—visible alongside other manual interactions like event clearing.
