Time constant of the measurement.
An averaging time of SLOW is equivalent to a time constant of
1 second.
Vibration Dose
Value
The VDV integration time is from Run to Reset; the display is
updated once per second. The VDV is not calculated for units of
dB org.
For whole body vibration mode:
VDV
sum
= max(VDV
x
+ VDV
y
+ VDV

Value
Amax = maximum reading of all Arms readings from Run to
Reset.
The display is updated at the end of each Averaging time
period.
Minimum
Transient
Vibration
Value
Amin = minimum reading of all Arms readings from Run to
Reset.
The display is updated at the end of each Averaging time
period.
Long Term
Maximum
Peak
Amp = peak level of the instantaneous weighted acceleration,
a
w
(t); measured over the entire measurement period, from Run
to Reset.
The displayed Amp value is updated once per second.
Short Term
Maximum
Peak
Peak = peak level of the instantaneous weighted acceleration,
a
w
(t); measured during one Averaging time period.
The peak measurement period is controlled by the Averaging
time setting; a new Peak value is calculated and displayed at the
end of each Averaging time period.
