4.5 Rectification techniques
RMS, Mean, Peak or Peak-Peak rectification is available for acceleration, velocity or
displacement values. The following formulae apply:
1- RMS Value
The above value (U
RMS
) can also be scaled to obtain the Scaled Mean and Scaled Peak
values
• Scaled Mean
•Scaled Peak
• Scaled Peak-to-Peak
2- Mean Value
3- True Peak Value
4- True Peak-to-Peak Value
Notes
1. The averaging time T can be software-configured in order to maintain a relationship with
the fundamental frequency.
2. True Peak or True Peak-to-Peak values can be calculated for proximity probe measuring
chains.
3. The RMS value is the standard calculation for accelerometer-based measuring chains.
