Section 4 — Measurement Types and
their Uses
This section describes how to set up and take different measurement
types. You will learn:
• How to take different types of measurements
• The uses of different measurement types
Spectrum
A vibration spectrum is a chart of vibration amplitude versus vibration
frequency. The vibration spectrum of a machine component shows the
frequencies at which the component is vibrating and the amplitude of
vibration for each of these frequencies.
Spectra consist of discrete spectral lines displayed at fixed frequency
intervals. The height of each spectral line represents the amplitude of
vibration at that frequency. The more spectral lines in a spectrum, the
higher the resolution of the spectrum.
NOTE: Higher spectrum resolutions use more memory.
