Abstract

A system for displaying a plurality of plots is provided. The system includes a presentation interface configured to display the plurality of plots, a user input interface configured to create a zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots, and a processing device configured to automatically determine, based on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots, and display simultaneously, on the presentation interface, a zoomed-in area of the selected plot based on the created zoom window and a zoomed-in area of each of the remaining plots based on the corresponding zoom window for each of the remaining plots.

Claims

1. A system for displaying a plurality of plots, said system comprising:

a presentation interface configured to display the plurality of plots;

a user input interface configured to create a zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots; and

a processing device configured to;

determine automatically, based on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots; and

display simultaneously, on the presentation interface, a zoomed-in area of the selected plot based on the created zoom window and a zoomed-in area of each of the remaining plots based on the corresponding zoom window for each of the remaining plots.

2. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said presentation interface is configured to display a plurality of plots including blade pass data from a turbine engine.

3. A system in accordance with claim 2, wherein said presentation interface is configured to display a plurality of plots including blade pass data from a stage of a compressor assembly of the turbine engine.

4. A system in accordance with claim 2, wherein said presentation interface is configured to display a plurality of plots including at least a keyphasor sensor plot, a primary blade pass sensor plot, and a secondary blade pass sensor plot.

5. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said user input interface is configured to create a zoom window in response to a user clicking and dragging a cursor.

6. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said user input interface is configured to create a zoom window in response to a user selecting a point on the selected plot and selecting a zoom magnification.

7. A system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said processing device is configured to determine automatically a corresponding zoom window that is located at the same relative position within each remaining plot as the created zoom window in the selected plot.

8. A processing device configured to:

display a plurality of plots on a presentation interface;

determine, based on user input, a created zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots;

determine automatically, based on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots; and

display simultaneously, on the presentation interface, a zoomed-in area of the selected plot based on the created zoom window and a zoomed-in area of each of the remaining plots based on the corresponding zoom window for each of the remaining plots.

9. A processing device in accordance with claim 8, wherein the processing device is configured to display a plurality of plots including blade pass data from a turbine engine.

10. A processing device in accordance with claim 9, wherein the processing device is configured to display a plurality of plots including blade pass data from a stage of a compressor assembly of the turbine engine.

11. A processing device in accordance with claim 9, wherein the processing device is configured to display a plurality of plots including at least a keyphasor sensor plot, a primary blade pass sensor plot, and a secondary blade pass sensor plot.

12. A processing device in accordance with claim 8, wherein the created zoom window is created in response to a user clicking and dragging a cursor.

13. A processing device in accordance with claim 8, wherein the created zoom window is created in response to a user selecting a point on the selected plot and selecting a zoom magnification.

14. A processing device in accordance with claim 8, wherein said processing device is configured to determine automatically a corresponding zoom window that is located at the same relative position within each remaining plot as the created zoom window in the selected plot.

15. A method for displaying a plurality of plots, said method comprising:

displaying a plurality of plots on a presentation interface;

determining, using a processing device, a created zoom window on a selected plot of the plurality of plots;

determining automatically, using the processing device, based on the created zoom window, a corresponding zoom window for each remaining plot of the plurality of plots; and

displaying simultaneously, on the presentation interface, a zoomed-in area of the selected plot based on the created zoom window and a zoomed-in area of each of the remaining plots based on the corresponding zoom window for each of the remaining plots.

16. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein displaying a plurality of plots comprises displaying a plurality of plots of blade pass data from a turbine engine.

17. A method in accordance with claim 16, wherein displaying a plurality of plots comprises displaying a plurality of plots of blade pass data from a stage of a compressor assembly of the turbine engine.

18. A method in accordance with claim 16, wherein displaying a plurality of plots comprises displaying a keyphasor sensor plot, a primary blade pass sensor plot, and a secondary blade pass sensor plot.

19. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein determining a created zoom window comprises determining a created zoom window based on a user clicking and dragging a cursor.

20. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein determining a created zoom window comprises determining a created zoom window based on a user selecting a point on the selected plot and selecting a zoom magnification.
