Abstract
A system for use in monitoring operation of a rotating device includes at least one sensor configured to sense a position of a component coupled to a rotating device with respect to a predefined axis and generate a signal indicative of the component position. A processor is programmed to calculate a plurality of property values of the component based at least partially on the position, and graphically present at least one time-based waveform based on at least a portion of the component property values. The processor is also programmed to graphically present at least one orbit plot based on at least a portion of the plurality of component property values, and synchronize the time-based waveform with the orbit plot. The time-based waveform is indicative of a position of the component along the axis, and the orbit plot is indicative of a position of the component within a predefined plane.
