Abstract
A system and method for analyzing order components present in a physical signal X acquired from a physical system. Measurement information for the physical signal X may be received, where the measurement information includes information indicating a plurality of order components of the physical signal X. Time frequency plot information visually indicating order components of the physical signal X may be displayed. User input selecting one or more of the visually indicated order components may be received. A time domain signal may be created based on the one or more selected order components and may then be presented to a user on a presentation device. Presenting the time domain signal on the presentation device may enable the user to analyze the physical signal X or the physical system. Where the physical system includes one or more rotating elements, the method may enable order components of the signal to be analyzed even when no rotation speed information (e.g., tachometer information) for the rotating element is available.
