3. Choose one of the three available axes from the Triax Axis
dropdown list for each of the three locations.
NOTE: Each of the three locations must have a different/unique
Axis name and triaxial axis. Do NOT assign the same axis to more
than one location.
TIP: Use the Structure report in Ascent to review your database
setup and set the report to Machines, Points, Locations.

instrument via the 7-pin LEMO connector. BNC Channel 1 is NOT
available or used for this measurement type.
11. Select Triax Sensor from the selection list > Press .
12. Ensure channel 2 is assigned to the X axis.

Channel on Route on the Route screen will read Triax Chan (1), 2, 3,

Axis set to X, Y, or Z will be recorded with channel 1. If your
instrument route screen indicates [CH1] beside a location, or asks
you to connect a sensor to channel 1, check the Triax Axis setting
at that location.
16. Press to take the triaxial measurement. The triaxial
measurements will be stored individually under their respective
locations, with identical timestamps.
