Section 4 — Measurement Types and their Uses
106
Average Value Measurements
Average value measurements apply to DC-coupled sensors only. You
can use this measurement type to determine an average DC value
during a user-specified measurement period. The average value can be
trended and alarmed in Ascent. For example, you can measure the
proximity probe gap. Other supported sensor types (Acc./Vel./Displ.) are
typically AC-coupled.
Some instruments also support Frequency, Voltage, Temperature,
Pressure, Power, Force, Volume Flow Rate, Mass Flow Rate, and user-
defined units. This capability enables these two instrument models to
make the most use of Average Value measurements.
1. Press or Measure.
2. Use the arrow keys on the left to select Average Value > Press .
3. Use the arrow keys on the left to select an existing parameter set or
press to create a new set.
4. Set the recording parameters as required.
NOTE: Ensure the sensor setup corresponds with the measurement
type you wish to take. Create new sensors where necessary. The
instrument will record values in the sensor's native units only.
5. Press to start recording.
Take Multi-channel Simultaneous
Measurements
The process for taking a single or multi-channel measurement is very
similar. The only difference is that for multi-channel measurements, you
must enable more than one channel, and save each measurement
separately. You do NOT have to save each channel's measurements. You
can selectively choose the ones you wish to keep.
EG: You can save a measurement taken on channel 2 but discard a
measurement taken on channel 1.
