Modal Impact Testing
This section explains how to do modal impact testing on your
instrument. This process involves:
1. Planning and noting the locations and directions for your impact
test.
2. Setting up your parameters, hammer, and sensors to measure the
frequency you are interested in.
3. Performing trial impacts with your hammer on the machine you are
investigating — This trial phase provides an opportunity to
experiment with different hammer tips and force of impact to
ensure you are prepared to take high quality recordings.
4. Performing actual impacts in Run mode and recording the specific
locations and directions used.
5. Reviewing the data:
• On your instrument
• In Ascent
• In ODS software such as ME’scope
