Section 4 — Measurement Types and their Uses
96
To execute an actual impact test in Run mode:
1. Exit Trial recording mode.
TIP: The recording mode in use displays at the top of the screen
(Trial or Run).
2. Use your impact hammer to impact the relevant point on the
machine you are measuring.
3. Review the message that displays on the screen:
• Press Save when you have finished taking all your impact
tests at this location.
NOTE: To help you keep track of where you are in the recording
sequence, your instrument automatically increments the point
names each time you save a recording. It also supports a point
sequence that includes a number and text — E.g. Motor1, Motor2,
etc. However, simply using numbers is quicker and easier than
using an alphanumeric name for each point.
• Press if you are satisfied with the impact you have
executed and wish to perform another impact.
TIP: Alternatively you can simply perform another trial impact —
The instrument is ready and waiting for you.
• Press to discard the impact you have just taken.
NOTE: You can only discard the most recent impact taken. It is not
possible to discard older impacts.
NOTE: You can press to toggle between displaying impact and
response waveforms; impact and response spectra; and
Coherence/FRF/Phase graphs. All these graphs display in real time
while you are acquiring data.
TIP: Press to access more detail about the warning message
while it displays.
TIP: You do NOT need to press a button to retain an impact. You
can simply execute a new impact to achieve this.
