(centimeters per second), Mils (1/1000th of an inch), Microns (1/1000000th of a meter),
ubars (Millibars), Pascals, Volts, m/s/s (meters per second per second), cm/s/s
(centimeters per second per second, dB (decibels), Special and None.
NOTE
Selecting mils or microns in this block will not allow you to select any accelerometer input in
paragraph 19.1.1.10 below. If an accelerometer is being used, you must also use an external
converter to convert the actual input to the analyzer to velocity (IPS) input.
19.1.1.7. Use the [] key to move to the “Mod” (Modifier) field. This is Modifiers relevant to the
engineering units specified in paragraph 19.1.1.6 above. Use the [] or [] keys to
toggle through the available selections in the field which are: Peak, Pk-Pk (Peak to Peak,
or otherwise referred to as DA or Double Amplitude), Avg. (Average), and RMS (Root
Mean Square). Consult the appropriate equipment maintenance manual for specific
requirements of a vibration survey or for analysis guidelines.
19.1.1.8. Use the [] key to move to the “MaxValue” field. The “MaxValue” field is a toggle
selection field. Use the [] or [] keys to toggle through the available selections for the
field. This scale refers to the number of engineering units of vibration amplitude specified
in the Units field. The full scale indicates the maximum vibration amplitude you expect
to acquire or the maximum amplitude of interest. Choose the amplitude that will
adequately display the full amplitude of any specified limits as a minimum. If you do not
expect amplitudes in excess of what would normally be experienced for the equipment
application, set this field as low as possible while still allowing sufficient space to display
the maximum limitations as stated above.
19.1.1.9. Repeat paragraphs 19.1.1.6 through 19.1.1.8 for all channels you intend to use for this
measurement.
19.1.1.10. Use the [] key to move to the “Sensor” column for Channel A row. Scroll through the
choices in this field using the [] or [] keys. The available choices are dependent on
the number of sensors you have programmed into your analyzer and the units selected in
paragraph 19.1.1.6 above. (See Chapter 22 Analyzer Management, for sensor setups.)
19.1.1.11. Use the [] key to move to the Channel “Desc” column for Channel A row. You can use
this field to define the sensor connected to the associated channel. The field will accept
any alphanumeric characters entered from the keypad. This field is used as a description
for the individual channel such as “Lat” and “Vert” or “GBox” and “Core.”
19.1.1.12. Repeat paragraphs 19.1.1.10 through 19.1.1.11 for each of the channels you intend to use
for this measurement.
